Bound to the imagery of an insensible consolation
As a dock waits for a ship never to come
are the senseless chains which bind agony to the soul
Only the Sensational allure of a compass placed within the center, may loosen the mind’s heart from the chains binding it to the dock.
A compass who’s needle always points to the heart.
&  posses the strength needed to stand alone.
(I want you to interpret this in your own way) However, I wrote it meaning letting go of what holds you back in life and going for what you want. Letting go of the imaginary things encumbering your soul. And closing your eyes while only moving forward in life following your heart.
In a crowd she stands alone,
her beauty creeps out.
Mysterious shades of color enchain her captivating allure,
every shade more beautiful than the last.
The efflorescence of a flower fails to image her,
flawless from head to toe.
The illusion of free will quickly fades,
I cannot deny my attraction to her,
She glows.
Warming the room by her graceful movements,
clocks slow, each second delights in her every twirl.
Tick. Toc.
Her look sets me at ease.
Freeing me from my uncertainty, I now clench belief close to my heart,
summoned by a dream with every beat.
I am left in a daydream,
As, she is gone…

if only I could mold you
hold you and control you
change you and reshape you

if only you were mine to design
but you're an imperfect
flawed
selfish human being
and there's no changing who you are

my favorite poems are the ones I don't want you to read,
about more than blind love, they're about the suffering.
a contradiction, they're the ones I want you to read,
because they're filled with the words
I don't even have the courage to breath.
another thing, I want you to read this one too,
but I know I wont show it for then you'd know the truth.
I guess I'm lucky that you don't have an interest in my poetry.. yeah, so lucky..

Edit: people keep liking this poem and it literally ***** to me lol this is not one of my favorite poems, as the title may suggest.
This is just a bit of humor I found

I don't know how to love
without wanting more.

I don't know how to swim
when there is no shore.

I don't know if there's an after
when the present is sculpted from before.

I won't know love
if love is nothing but lore.
When
You get fearful of failure

You lose freedom of getting success!
I have never stuttered in pen
misspoken in ink
or choked in my writing
the way I do
whenever I speak
my fingertips always know
the right words to say
my tongue is still learning
I could spend an eternity
alone on this island
with only a string and hook
and still catch feelings
instead of fishes
