Broken Compass
How do you find someone?
Find a soul mate?
Because I thought she was the one
But I only loved the idea of her.
I loved the cracks in her face when she smiled
Yet, hated them when she frowned
That soul was occasionally lost
And when I found it, the magnetism was God
Turning on the compass
I went south and found atheism
No love lost when my eyes close to you
The sight and sense that nothing of true
Plasticine cast bent to what I need, for me
Edges curved to slide you out
Like spit and venom, spat poetry
No concern for the more of any
She was, yet she wasn't
And I find nothing
Hopeless
Lost
Nowhere but here
Wherever this is
Unsure what a soul is.

This is really beautiful. It reminds me of Bob Dylan sort of, but of course with your own spin and certainly with your own merit! 🙏🌅☮️
Margo is spot on.... this reads like song lyrics, Kieron. It's what I thought of almost after the first line. I wonder if you're musical or know anyone who is, because this is the makings of a fucking terrific song... just my thoughts.
You're so relatable when you say "turning on a compass, I went south and found atheism"
Having another rattle your faith like that, is fucking universal and so blistering in it's pain. Fuck, how I love your style! You borrow into my very essence with your cyber pen.
Thank you for sharing,
Keep up the great work, my new friend!
I am soo loving it

This is exquisite, my favorite stanza definitely has to be
"I loved the cracks in her face when she smiled
Yet, hated them when she frowned That soul was occasionally lost And when I found it, the magnetism was God"
it's without a doubt my new favorite!
Love, Angel
