Forever Lost In A Broken Compass

Forever is smooth as your hand,
Infinite in its love of the moment.
Turn your eyes to stone
That they may not stray form mine.
Stay tomorrow in little globes,
Slowly spinning on tops of jade.
Lash our hearts together as a raft
Sent to save stranded sinners.
Our love lights hearts of void,
Minds of paranoia, sights offset.
Set your lips to mine,
The horizon to my back.
Direct our movements against the current,
Strong as the wind in our mouths,
Cold as the drowned hearts below.
Slip sweetness onto my tongue and
I may return the favor.
Overboard with the two of us...

your poems are deep...
real deep.
just post one at a time so people have time to digest your material. Then the ones that truly vibe with you can keep up with your work, and neither you nor they will burn out!

i used to write a lot, but recently i have been unhappy with how stagnant, unappealing, unoriginal, and boring my poems have become. so i wait on inspiration. thank you for reading.
