"My heart is a compass lost at sea finding its North in the gaze of thee."
This compass points directly at you
whether your North East South or West
Aligned to your magnetic pole
I am being magnetized
You are an orientation arrow
my Polaris * my North Star
Configurator of my soul,
I am yours *
You are a trustworthy compass
without you I'd be lost
You are the magnet
that altered the course of my life,
FOREVER !
The birth of my constellation
Holds the magnetic Pole to my wanderings
The answer to every unsolved equation
The indestructible capsule to my crash landing
The passion burning deep within
My core captive to her gentle tug of gravitation
In a galaxy of love ever expanding
She's the brightest star
And I shine whenever she smiles
She completes my visual spectrum
In an explosion of universal colour
Fills my lungs with laughter
With her bodysuit squizzed into a vacuum
My rainbow across the walken
After a Solar storm
My spaceship to unknown undiscovered worlds
She's my morning star
Guiding my every sunrise
My moonrise
My night's beam of light
My sunset when I close my eyes
And a woman scorned
Whenever she opens her blackhole
And I disappear with my lies
Searing in the blue flames of her eyes
The torch of knowledge liberating the mind
Above all doubt
A shooting star in a loop around my heart
I'm in orbit around her multidimensional love
morning fog diffuses light
the sun has lost direction
and the world is enveloped
in silence
skeletal trees line
the potholed road
as two scrawny crows
huddle in the bare branches
yesterday's mass murders,
flooding across the pond,
asteroids,
sudden solar wind.
magnetic pole reversal,
drowning in our effluence?
sow many ways
4 world to end
I sought a hot and blazing sun,
a star to light my dimming sky
a heavenly form; though earthly bound
to warm my heart, before I die
I sought a power, a pull so strong
an inescapable gravitation
one that'd own my weakened heart
and safely guide my navigation
I sought a grand, magnetic pole;
an axis which I'd turn about
a bearing, constant and sustaining,
a truth of which I'd have no doubt
I sought this sun, this wondrous star
this beacon for my life and fate
to lead my journey near and far
my guiding light; my one true mate
I lost my bearings and my way
in seeking such a destiny
the journey took my heart afar
from where I knew that it should be
I found a dark and empty place
one that lived in mine own soul;
a place that only I could fill
a void that'd kept me far from whole
I seek the light now, from within
an illumination that's granted me
courage that flows from grace and good
to walk a path alone, but free
