compass of lost feelings

when you look in my eyes,
because you want to see her,
i let you find your way,
uncertain of the compass -
where your heart is taking us
going South with you,
with lost predilection
when i'm way up North,
in my head, you are the East
to my sun, the deep purple
dipping out my heart
to a resolution of infinite
definiteness, you turn me
into a new moon every time,
fading faraway, farther West
of your blue-streaked feelings,
but for you i always rise

Such a sad piece, I liked the use of compass directions to illustrate the sense of disconnection in this piece. I liked the sparse disjointed language use , it suited the stark mood.

thank you so much, my friend, i believe the disjointed lines were meant to add to the twist and turn of the whim of the one being addressed to by the speaker in the poem, which would have driven me crazy, if i were the speaker :)

best,

nice use of direction here...the two trying to intersect, one always at opposite poles...

but getting closer...in proximity so that minds and hearts connect.

Beautiful poem! I really like the use of both the compass and color imagery. Those two simple elements are able to portray a myriad of different emotions and relationship facets in this piece. Nicely done!
