This is a beautiful love poem! I feel as if I've lived these words exactly. We may have times of being broken and bruised but we have to take a chance to come away happy and healed! Thanks for sharing. I see why you won this contest!

Then you came

Held me close
And whispered
Words of love
And promises

Reminds me of The Thomas Crown Affair, where each is forced to take a chance on love and trust. It is difficult to do but worth doing when done. I enjoyed the poem and congrats on your win. Thanks

What a worthy win.

The simplicity of your words, strung together with artistic serenity and inflated hope, are a joy to read.

This is the kind of purity that allows readers the chance to feel important in their own lost emotions. Thank you.

Wow, this is stunning, congratulations on your well deserved win! I love the 'and' lines, they really carry an impact, and that impact seems to grow with each one. Very nice, and a complete love poem. Great work

Hello idamarty,

Congratulations. I can see why this poem was voted a winner. The poem reads and flows well and has many words of wisdom weaved within, especially ...

I opened my heart
And soul
Took a chance

Very good commentary. A heart has to be open to receive love, and putting your faith in another person and taking a chance on love, increases all odds.

This is a beautiful and enjoyable poem. Congratulations.
