Ballad of a Lonely Heart

This is my spoken word.

North again

South

East

West again

Moral compass uprooted

to Love's false devotion

The seductive lips

Of a lover stolen

Stylistically-

Love as a sweet winter rose

Lonely as the frosty wind blows

Passion-so intense it boils as the surface of the sun

North

South again

East again

West

Therapeutic illusion 

With much over-due strife

Behind closed bars

Not worth to live

Thematically-

The divine yearning prose

The sweet kiss only the lover knows

It needs sensation or it cries

Or in a lonely, dark doorway it dies

Author's Note

This was a poem that I made from other poems that I had written for a spoken word that I was going to do. Please ignore the grammar etc... It was just for the voice and not for the paper.

well, i have to say that the title of this drew me in with the promise of understanding how others may view and feel that loneliness. you have certainly not disappointed with this lovely and uniquely expressed prose. i feel as if the whole world has lived these moments, thanks to your directional take on the "moral compass". that was impressive, to say the very least. awesome write.

Wonderfully descriptive word.........a heart that is lonely, how can one live this way?
I love your descriptions on love, and how you use the elements of the seasons, and compass...........but the last stanza sums it up perfectly.
