Compass to My Heart
by: JP Leddy
Compass to my heart , lead the way
Pass my cynicism to a destination true
Where love is not simply a song or a poem
But real like the skin on my bone
I am tired of promises not kept and broken
Of eyes and kisses that wander
Oh compass to my heart lead on
to one whose heart knows how to love
as a lover should with devotion true

Sadly our compasses don’t always point us in the right direction when ii comes to love! I like the imagery of a compass here, it works well. I hope love finds you in 2011!

Broken promises too are a way of life.
Life gives us back what we into it.
Best comment to it is from a quote on information about yourself.
Well said, Dr. Goyal.

I hope your compass will lead you to the perfect person who will suit you–one whose eyes and kisses do not wander. I loved that line…
Beautiful, heartfelt poem, JP.
strong desire to find love…may your compass be true. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic write! If only my compass didn’t so readily stick to the magnetic north over the true north oh so often.
