Best Roam Poems

The flames of the furnace (well-travelled by wind
slowly glazing the rags of gray women chagrined
at the sight of a hair fleeing tresses now thinned) 
sometimes billow like waves flooding naves through the night,
when the lightning peeks in where the tension hangs tight
while the lanterns, alarmed,...

Black Death Among The Shadows Does Gaily Roam

Black death among the shadows did roam
deep in solitude its power reigns.
Nowhere and everywhere it calls sweet home
and always its appearance brings pains.

Through fords, over mountains into gentle seas
fate sends its messenger in a black shroud.
Never to be...

The emerald, enchanted stone,

     was forged in depths where dragons roam,

and first by elfin princes known.

     The emerald, enchanted stone,

good fortune brings to all who own.

     Its powers writ in ancient tome,

the emerald,...

Turning sideways, once more I lay crouched in bed,
Not compelled to wake up and run round the clock.
The family, gone on a four-day adventurous trip.
Left to myself, may I devour this calm with none to block.

Listening to the hiss of falling rain, here I lie.
The...

O’er the battlements I do roam 
in a place far away from my home.
Seeing first-hand the horrors of war
longing for peace from all the blood and the gore.
Sleep, it escapes me as I lie down for the night.
I still see the faces of the men...

Into a silent valley we walk
Into a golden meadow as the birds talk
Into a wild unknown land
Into the middle of a marching band
Into the air filled with mist
Into a twirl with a twist
Into a bog consumed by mud
Into a battlefield spurted with blood
Into the ocean’s...

As long as Saints roam the Earth,
There will always be hope for humankind.

I see them most days,
When out and about,
I feel their touch,
And bear witness to their forbearance,
As they persevere to overcome,
Difficulties we would not dream possible.

I hear about them nightly on the news,
And find...

My avaricious appetite for life,
  Provides the fuel to ramble ,
     Through this ripened world I roam.
           I'm driven by unrelenting hunger.

Dreams of those golden meadows in the sky,
with frolicking angels flying about.
So close to me as I hover nearby,
I try to speak but the words won't come out.

Captured by their beauty, my soul set free,
in this realm, I see clearer than before.
Though some may say...

Wicked winds and wandering mists,
Moonlit hours and secret trysts,
Spells and charms; unhallowed loam,
Stealthy do the witches roam.

Boiling cauldrons, smoke and fire,
Fallowed fields, dearth and dire,
Ungodly grants that demons give—
O’ thou must suffer not a witch to live....

Oh let me roam where the scenery's green,
Where the willows droop down and the bell birds teem,
Across the gullies where the wallaby's been,
Just let me roam.

Oh you've got to be where the water falls,
Where stands of stringy barks grow so tall,
The kookaburras laugh and the...

The ink of sky engulfs my dream
While night’s cinder darkens the shore,
And tattered leaves pivot midstream
To infect my grief much like before.
Dreary this roam, this roam so cold
Attended by a tree's limp veil;
Like ghastly air with woes untold
Of slumber deep, his tomb, my nail.
In a...

My roaming mind
I married to a Muse; 
O, I’ve lost my life,
For, he gallops now....
