Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

I Met My Prince On the Love Boat

I met him on a cruise ship
he was not what I expected
or was looking for
or wanted
until I got to know him

we talked from ten-thirty at night
until four-thirty in the morning
his answers were unexpected
it is as if he had opened my brain
and took out my own ideas

this cannot be real, I told myself
I slept a few hours that day
Thinking I had dreamed him.
He was in the dining hall that night
assigned to our table again.

He later told me that he had
bribed someone to put him there.
I was shocked; he was real.
my prince charming.
and I met him on the love boat.
We discovered that we both live in Manhattan
only a few blocks apart.
It was kismet.
