Directions to my heart:

Start on route with the wink of your eye,
Stay close, hug that shoulder,
Sharp curves will call for your attention,
For this journey you must be bolder.

Take a left when reaching my smile,
It has fooled a lesser man,
and follow my breath to my lung,
Now listen if you can.

I know you will never ask for directions,
which is good because few men have found the way.
Just keep hugging the shoulders and hoping for signs,
and listen to all that I say.

Now the roads may get rougher soon
and sharper curves will surface ahead.
Make sure you’re careful on this road,
You may slip on tears I have shed.

You might feel me get weak in the knees,
Damn things do at the worst times,
And if a blushing appears on my cheeks,
Please be gentle and kind.

Now the matter of finding my heart,
It is still a question to me,
Sometimes it is in my chest,
But at other times it breaks free.

I’ve found it in the pits of my stomach,
I’ve found it on paper, in a pen,
And when I couldn’t find it within me?
It was in the hands of unworthy men.

So I have done the best that I can,
To tell you where to go,
Just remember once you find my heart,
It’s been a while… so go slow!

Hey, this is good! A gentle reminder that a lot of people probably need to see.

You look inside my wild mind
never knowing what you'll find
still I want you all the time
yeah I do
'cause you get me

I don't know what to say...It's a great write, I just don't know what to say...I see alot of the tings i think about in this poem. I, currently, am trying to get back with my ex. I guess everyone here @ Passions will soon learn of my new adventures with Justin Michael. LoL

Have you ever heard that "No shirt, No shoes" rule? My question is...Why doesn't that rule include pants?

aww Jess, I love these lines

"I’ve found it in the pits of my stomach,
I’ve found it on paper, in a pen,
And when I couldn’t find it within me?
It was in the hands of unworthy men."


Amazing, I loved the poem, you are an extremely creative writer...

Wow!!  This was such a creative and cute idea, and I've never read anything quite like it!! I think you did an awesome job writing this and I don't know why you say that you're not happy with it!!  Not only was it written beautifully, but it is soooo true!!  Guys should have a manual on girls to refer to (maybe then they wouldn't mess up soo much!!) and this poem should be included in it!! I'm adding this piece to my library.  Can't wait to see more!

Always,
Nikki
