 The Search for “Him” I traveled far and wide across the barren land To find one true of heart and take his mortal hand I came upon quite a few well taught silver tougned deceivers I found some who spun with no avail to make me their believer I dined with Kings in the country of Love Gone Bad I sailed with Pirates across the Sea of Loves Never to Be Had I watched the sunset with Woodsmen behind Mnt. EverLust I sunbathed with Don Juan’s on the beachs of Lake Ever Trust I camped with Naturals under the stars in the land of Feelings Unknown I hiked with Athletes through the hills of Relationships Outgrown I flew with Wing Walkers across the never ending Isle Live Alone I almost gave up hope as my tiresome journey led me home Though I had gazed upon men of stautre and of men of Power Not one brought me to the height of Loves Ivory Tower But I knew he must be out there among those so untrue So I returned home to plan another trip into the vast Wild Blue I re-packed alone till something soon caught my eye Could it be that here at home I’d somehow passed him by? How could I have almost overlooked what I already had? My very own Brawny Pool Man....the poor unsuspecting Lad! < !signature--> Hold me for yesterday Kiss me for tomorrow But love me for today.

LOL your SOOOO bad today...... you really had me going girl... so far to go to discover it was in your own back yard all along... great poem...loved all the adventures of the journey... nice to see you smiling my sweet SS! now go for a swim...(skinny dip)  loves ya jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

Yes, often you pass up the things that are right under your nose... some people never find it, I'm glad that you did. Good poem. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

I want to say, that while I thought this quite hilarious, I also think you had several damn fine lines in there! "I came upon quite a few well taught silver tongued deceivers" Has got to be one of the best lines I've ever read!!! Bravo on making a poem and a comedy! Jason |

Very good! I feel like we all overlook some of the best things in life sometimes, which are at our fingertips the entire time. Wonderful job of portraying this! "Goodnight, sweet prince, and flights of angels guide thee to thy rest." -William Shakespeare, in "Hamlet" |

A silent sigh followed by rolling laughter. Quite the feat you've accomplished, to meld such beautiful phrases into a tale worth laughing at, while still maintaining a moral worth heeding! |

What a journey.....so what of love, live the life and let love discover you. great writing butterfly~~~~~~~~~~~ we travel the world over in search of what we want, only to return home and find it there waiting. A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |
