Best Abroad Poems


Solitary Abroad
Vehicles flow on the road
Engines rumble loudly throughout
All vehicles are running on the same road
But as each of them is different destination

So many people travel back and forth 
They step on the same path 
All of them are in a hurry and introvert
But they do...

Premium Member Birthday Wish Abroad
I have a birthday wish for you today,
Although words are not always easy to say.

In some ways, it does not seem right,
That you are not here and have taken flight.

My heart aches, but I really do understand,
After all my love, I still have your hand.

You...

Airborne division lose cover
To cheer from abroad
They won't hit the board
A rest for radio receiver...

Premium Member Home Thoughts From Abroad
The half moon shimmered wanly as she wrote
“Dearest, do you realize how much I miss you?
How long will your trip abroad take?
Here I am in empty rich, luxury mansion.
A hovel with you would have been better.
Or perhaps you do not love me anymore?”

Thus the letter...

Life Abroad
i was overjoyed
i was eager to travel
wishing everybody a good stay,
i quickly packed my suitcase 
and was ready to twist life

little did i know,
joy would turn into sadness
happiness into tears
desires into loneliness
but what do i see?
i choose that path

it wasnt easy
neither is it easy
but above...

The One I Love Is Far Abroad
The one I love is far abroad…
Text messages are faithful pigeons to each other.
There’re times it’s hard to keyboard.
“Love you…” my hands don’t listen to me further.

The one I love is far abroad…
I cannot touch, can’t fondle her smooth skin.
An acute feeling’s cutting up my...

Premium Member A Broad Abroad
The desert wind scours the land 
Home to all of civilized man
Ankhs hang from leather straps
No turkey gobbles nor Auntie naps.
Kids in mosques and chapels abound
Singing chants of eastern sound.
Genies squirm in lamps too tight
Images rise of Arabian nights.
Visitor you’ll find me over seas
In search...

An Idiot Abroad
Some people have no sense at all
Live abroad acting like fools
Not wanting to integrate
nor eating what the locals make
Only want to go get drunk
find an easy lay
So many idiots abroad
why can't they stay at home!...

Innocence Abroad
Scarce a year it was before my birth,
that Lindy set The Spirit down
at Le Bourget one night
and all the old voitures
as suddenly lit up the runway
with their headlights. 
as he taxied to a stop.

Thirty years beyond, I landed there
from fair Bruxcelles and it was day;
the...

Feelings Abroad
The thought of me losing 
makes me so depressed 
Especially when I think that I'll be 
the reason you left 
All this guilt in me won't take
any of the stress to less
And the things I do to you
dosen't give me much help
I know it bothers...

Nightmare Abroad
Three years have been a lifetime, 
In a place unfathomable-

Met with a gun barrel to the scalp,
Scars cover his back, tortured for freedom,
  Punished for a woman he loves who stands proud with her flame to the sky
      ...

Agents Abroad Rewritten
Agents Abroad. 
Tiny rooms in basements somewhere not far from the docks, 
pink light ,no air-conditions. Cartagena girls on contract going 
from city to city, their best years are as short as footballers; 
only the girls have short contracts and in no time they end...

The Journey Abroad the Sea
A ship once sailed in the wide open sea
A ship once called "All Aboard" to the ones who dared to take risks
Some heard that call and ran towards it
Slowly, they stepped onto its body...
Whilst fear with a pinch of courage overwhelmed them...
Turning back now was...
