Please God send me a man.
Someone strong to hold me, love me, scold me.
A modern day hero,
Somebody to fight for me, die for me, live for me.

Drank too much red wine.
Feeling really lonely; too empty, too lost.
I wake up in a strange bed.
Blue eyes staring back; drink coffee, make chat.

I check my phone.
Waiting for the ring, the message, the text.
Will he contact me?
Look at email; log in msn, search chatroom.

Have to start over again.
I am tired of meetings, first dates; last dates.
Hearing lots of promises.
Making the first contact; the first joke; the first lie.

There must be men out there.
Hiding in houses, penthouse apartments, rented bedsits.
They must be looking for a woman.
A real loving woman, filled with honesty, with trust.

I need an old fashioned man.
One whose word is his bond; his gospel, his oath.
I want a fascinating man.
Preferably with dark hair, sparkling eyes, kissable mouth.

So God send me a man.
Someone I can respect, look up to, laugh with not at.
I need a soul mate.
Who will value me, adore me; worship me.

Failing all that God, send me a cat...

Amen

Good concept, loved the last line, but too much padding.

Lovely, thoughtful and real

This was probably one of the first or second of your poems I'd read. I loved it. It provokes the same feelings I guess we've all had, well, me anyway. I could have written almost the same but reversed, Please find me a woman.

And as for that last line, well, that's just brilliance, really made me smile. Excellent work, Lovely Lady. xx

I liked the ending

but except for that, I didn't think much of your lament. If you want a man, why don't you go out and find one instead of of praying for one? There are millions of men available but you have to look for them. I've certainly never had any problems finding a man whenever I wanted one.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry...

So very serious, so... Wounded a voice speaking in this poem. And at the end, "Failing all that God, send me a cat." I have an affinity for cats, and in some ways, they do make a reasonable substitute for the lack of another human presence in one's life. I chuckled at first, but then I felt a sadness come over me. For a very, very long time, I had done something similar to what this poem asks for. I settled for the companionship of my cats while my marriage slowly fell apart. I repeat what I've said elsewhere - you have a gift for writing poetry.

Love the poem,good luck on the man. I have two cats already, I'll settle for the man this time.
