Hi Jaq
A great piece of poetry. Let's face it there are about 2 billion men out there worldwide.
So you have a big choice. You will meet someone, when you least expect it. That's always the way. There are a great deal of single men out there in the UK. Just avoid the ones with gravy stains on the vests, in fact just avoid the ones in vests LOL

Seriously though a great piece of poetry my friend.

Blessings

Spike

Jaq, I'm truly wishing that I had a six to give you for this! I can't tell you how beautiful your words are! This is a wonderful expression for someone who has been through a lot and yet still has faith in love. It's so hopeful, and endearing! I enjoyed how you described the broken heart in the second paragraph- your wording is just fantastic. There is a lovely flow although it's free verse. I have been reading through the comments for this poem and although I think the last two lines are just fine, here are a few suggestions for what you could replace them with:

Someone to hold, will someday be mine
Someone to love, will one day rest in my heart
Someone to love, will someday be in my arms
My souls desire, will one day be in my heart

In the second paragraph I found a typo:
My hearts been used- my heart's been used (meaning heart has)

Excellent work!

Your friend,
Shenel

Enjoyed the poem. The construction and simplicity of the words used, provides a clear message - even through despair, there is an element of hope, such as " love will prevail".

Comment from Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens

I liked your poem 'Loves Hope'. Your character has a deep belief that someone, the right one, will come her way. I will hope for her also that the right one will find her and help to heal the abused and torn heart. We all want our path to love to also lead to happiness. Good job, Carolyn

Comment from Maureen's Pen

Excellent

Hi Jaq, this expresses your desires and your weariness from past hurts. But what I liked the most was your attention to detail. Your imagery brings this one alive so that the reader feels part of the work.

Flowed well and you penned it well. I think you could make you last line stronger. Something that pulls the whole poem together. But other than that I enjoyed the read.

Thanks for sharing and happy new years to you and yours.
Maureen

My heart will heal and
love will prevail,
of this I have no doubt,
to be lonely forever
was never the plan,
someone to love
is the path for me.

I'd say you are getting there in a hurry JC. Wonderful words for someone who has been lost but now is found.

Comment from L. Sherman

Good

A nice refreshing read. Normally it's 'woe is me, I'll die alone' so it's nice to read a poem about holding out and waiting for love to come along, about hoping. And there is a lot of hope here; it's quite lovely.

I think that everything flows very well but the final two lines are just sort of there. It makes sense, but I think it interrupts the natural flow you've set up to that point.

How delightful! A wistful yearning for love, for a man who understands. Isn't this every woman's fantasy? Very well done, indeed.
