Standing At The Equator
If the wind blew east
you'd have swore west
and I knew no direction,
a spinning compass
attracting everything,
magnetically repelling me
and to think I just wanted
to find home.

It sometimes seems that there is a law of love. If you two spend this much time together and do this much together, then you two should now find yourselves in love. This person opposed this law that was the wind that blew east. This person opposed it and went west, but east was where he would have been brought to you as you were innocently ("and I knew no direction, a spinning compass attracting everything") being brought to him. Yet he rejected you and repelled you, so you did not find your way from the equator. You still have no direction. What a short poem packed with a huge story of romance and journey. The last line is sad and sweet and pure. You are a lost traveler in search of love as are we all or as we all have been that are reading your poem now. Great write nikkimoe. :)
