Edward Ibeh Poet Free verse

Wandering, Not Lost

                     Drifting... 
             Into my fantasies
               And daydreams
             Where you reside
        And eagerly wait for me;
         I'm wandering, not lost.

                    Smiling...
                As I excavate 
         Long-buried memories
      In the meadow of my mind
 Oh, the halcyon days of my youth!
         I'm wandering, not lost.

                   Plunging...
           Immeasurably deep
      Into your captivating eyes;
                  Entranced,
                 Held captive.
         I'm wandering, not lost.

                  Searching...
      Vast barren deserts of earth
             Days without end
                  For xanadu
          For the meaning of life
          I'm wandering, not lost.
