Premium Member I wander through the rust of twilight, carrying your name like a bell
I wander through the rust of twilight, carrying your name like a bell melted in a still-throbbing heart I don't know if I love you or if my pupils just shine under your uncertain and fragile spell Thoughts flow like glass birds, colliding, shattering, and piecing back together on the retina in a spiral Sometimes I hide my...

Premium Member Where Is Home?
Our hearts romanticize the vagabond. To walk away from all that brings you down. It’s true we’re free to get up and be gone. In search of new horizons to be found. Always snipping at the ties that bind us And doing all you would just as you may. Worries can all just be left behind us. ‘Cause in the morn we...

Butterfly's Wander
Once upon a time the old songs were new On prairies unplanted invaders were few Where rivers rolled onward no ferries or towns All riverboat minstrels new ages impound The time of the season unmeasured refrain And cursed belladonna tomorrow to reign As butterfly’s wander o’er questions unasked A dark shrouded answer — the future unmasks (Dreamsleep: April, 2025) ...

Premium Member My love would sometimes wander, and my thoughts would roam freely
My love would sometimes wander, and my thoughts would roam freely, far from the one who held them close and gave my love a home. But I was young and restless, and my heart longed for games, never thinking of the one I might hurt when my love strayed. It's said that those who play with fire will sometimes...

Let me in my odd orbit drift - 2
A fresh breeze that loves to drape all around, And give hearty embrace to every heart, A bird forever of drifting orbit, Ready, lifelong and more to meander. I drift, to drift is my inane nature, To me, an inch of movement how so vague Is better than a mile of intention, World, called jagat is what moves forever....

Premium Member In the endless labyrinth of time, we wander like birds without wings
In the endless labyrinth of time, we wander like birds without wings, In nights unraveling like silk, in days dressed in garments of ice, We lose ourselves in the shadows of thoughts that swallow us like a merciless sea, Searching for the hidden light, like a timid sun beyond a distant horizon. Silences slowly fade in corners of the...

Premium Member In a sea of roses, the ashes of your ghost still wander
In a sea of roses, the ashes of your ghost still wander, breathing you in deeply, I try to pierce through the veils of time, but to no avail, only a bitter emptiness fills my weary soul. Fate tempts me, taunts me with the echo of your voice, in the dead of night, when sleep refuses to be my...

LET YOURSELF WANDER
If your mind wants to wander a little, let it...! Heavy clouds often cover the sun, pass by and there is no destruction... Imagine yourself flying through the sky on the Pegasus... everything goes back to normal soon after the daydream......

Premium Member Long, Long, Long Way From Home
I feel I have been wandering, it seems a thousand years. So lonely and alone upon the road. My only company has been a myriad of fears Set upon my back, a heavy load. I know my destination but can’t seem to find my way. The path I tread appears to have no end. In my ears a quiet call that...

Why dream or wander
Why do many dreamers owe large debts grasping the dreams with such grip more education, new debt slip still dreaming; debt still not paid yet ideas flow for promising projects learning systems are no real help rigged; leaving parents to yelp no longer dreaming like prospects.. Why do wanderers end up homeless knowing everything not as seem truth we all living in a dream without materials,...

WHEN I DREAM
I wander a vast desert Emotions chasing like shadows No sand, no cactus in sight Only rivers climbing uphill. I run, drawn by distant guideposts Haunted by familiar voices, yet strange Their kindness masks something darker A lullaby that feels monstrous, yet strangely safe. Like a wild cow on the loose I circle the same worn path No matter how far I run I end...

Long Painted Seas
Longing for long seas Dying to meet Miss Bittersweet On roads between tent poles In oil holes and tall trees Take cover Spin rubber Tumble and bleed Along pot holed streams Let home become a highway Rolling asphalt day to day Nowhere to be and everywhere to go Roam and stay home And never feel sick again In the places you've never been So when long seas wind Below gears...

WORLD OF WONDER
World of wonder, on this earth You exist somewhere To make me realize all I'm worth... ...you can take me there. World, I've wandered place to place Wanting to be whole. To be inside your warm embrace... ...my life's only goal. World, I've wondered - for you are My greatest mystery... ...the wish I'd make upon a star To mend my history. Wandering, wondering for this long... ...but...

Premium Member My steps wander through the urban labyrinth, a chaos of dancing lights and shadows
My steps wander through the urban labyrinth, a chaos of dancing lights and shadows, When suddenly, a door opens in my fragile reality, inviting me into the unknown. The midnight café, a refuge for lost souls and unspoken dreams, Embraces me with its enticing aroma, promising an escape from my own thoughts. Coffee vapors rise like spirals of smoke...
