Rewrite:

You start from where you are

You start from the port of your heart.
Each voyage into fantasy.
The cargo is desires part
Each mortgage into ecstasy.

The ship carries a wanting soul.
With vacant hole waiting below.
It is a bouquets empty bowl
Searching for a special cargo.

A phantom ship, a phantom sea,
Full of empathize aspire.
A phantom's cargo bonhomie,
Made of wishes and desire.

Some journeys sail a stormy sea
And some hit doldrums, never start.
The captain's steer, the soul trustee
The only compass is your heart.

So always check the heart its source
And than the compass and its course.

Id follow you anywhere

The name of this ship is the "Compass Rose"
pretty cool, huh?

In another life...I know I loved you then
Lightning strikes twice...we're destined again.
We dont have to make promises...we were always meant to be

But my voyages into fantasy usually end with disaster... with heart home port wrecked and battered! *G* Maybe my compass is broken? LOL. Great write, Seymour... I like it a lot.

Suthern,
I'm sure you heard the lyrics
"Some day he'll come along
The man i Love
And he'll be big and strong,
The man I love." etc etc
Well I'm sure he will. *L*
