Best Roaming Poems

alone now
I roam through memories
recalling treasures of the past
journeying back to seaside treks with my husband
riding to the city to see Broadway shows
reliving nights of romance
even visiting John’s grave
in the best of times
memories carry me to ocean jetties
where vows of love were exchanged
as waves lapped...

Oh, where did you come from? The sad sight of you 
     breaks my heart in two. I see that you're lost, 
            scared, disheveled and emaciated.

In the darkened twilight
My thoughts roam.
Even tho i bleed the same color,
Cry the same salty tears,
my appearance to some is different,
And yet, thought of as less than....
Educated by the same system,
Speaking the same language,
And yet, you still don't hear me.

With naked eyes, I see clearly,
As...

I hear a rustling in the leaves
 As the wind huffs and heaves
 A storm is coming ever near
 A rustling in the leaves I hear

 Gray clouds roam across the sky
  Some leaves swirl up on high
 Thunder rumbles in the dome
 Across...

River sings and dances to its own tune;
Singing to me its stories,
Then resumes its journey.

There is a little sanctuary, not so far away
That I would like to visit and see myself some day
It houses all the lost, abandoned and abused
Exotic cats and wild ones people used to use
Their stories are so very sad these tigers in a cage
Whose past...

Roaming these lands often I cry these tears,
Trying to wash away the pain,along with all my fears.
Preparing myself for the worst 
With a feeling my heart may burst. 
Forcing my heart into remorse
With hopes it will stay on course. 
Always waking to a bright new...

Roaming Tiger

Tiger Roaming In The Night
Your Heart Your Eye's They Burn So Bright
I Dare Not Touch You , I Dare Not Try
For If I Do I'll Surely Die.

I grew up physically abused,
with only grandma to hold on to.
I was a frail child confined,
and couldn't understand the pain I was going through.
I roamed!

In my teenage years,
I was rebellious and out of control.
Emotional scars were souvenirs,
and I felt I lost my soul!
I roamed!

Down a...

The ever-present

          Autumn wind

     Roams outside my door

Sometimes with 

     A thunderous roar

          Sometimes with

Based on a character from Stephen King's The stand

Like an alien that is lost in an angry land
Sunburnt and scorched in the savage soul sand
I see for miles and miles
Feasting on fear, misfortune and misery
You long for my lies and my lunacy
Knowledge...you think that you...

I sense life stirring once again
through daybreak's tint and mellow rain,
echoing out bohemian thrills
while nomad's pulse begin to restart--
as instinct's voice reel in my heart

The roaming swirls footsteps, long
and conga drums pound upbeat songs
that now, the hunt for newness grows
savoring gifts, old and refined:
this curious...

Roaming around





Proud of her passionate lover,
Fearless she relished to hover,
Caught one day in a mess,
Crazy not to confess,
How long could stay under cover ?

Can you hear me as I try to sleep,
whispers within my space.
Can you hear me cry as I dream,
of my home, my families place,
Do you understand at all,
just how this battle goes on.
Do you know all that fall,
the hero's as they stand strong.
My whisper is...
