Best Wanderings Poems

A gray and dreary sky was drawn this morn
though love was in my heart of hearts aglow,
as I called out to you, a rift was torn,
and through the rift, so silent, fell the snow. 
Ah, you have passed my heart, my love; I know,
a barefoot...

Wanderings of soul



Couldn't see the colour of the sky,
Nor the birds, their flight so high,
The greens were lost in twilight,
Didn't you see tears in my eyes ?

My stray soul that still wanders,
Passion swamps mind that ponders,
Parallel walk yet no greet,
Will the two banks ever meet...

Lea, lush cordial waits
dawn, a promise of dew,
yet couldn’t stop the moment
stealing the moorside view.
The turn of Alf’s cart wheel
broke the silence of the night,
the beat of a lone heartache
stole the dark from the light.
“Picturesque Turner Lane”
The wind aloof did hone,
the old grey stone “Bar...

Pippidy pop the hops on top,
Never just the one, a few,
Pippidy pop once again he stops,
To find himself askew,

Crickiddy crack the floor boards do slack,
As he walks to a lady, red skirt,
Crickiddy crack as the pub fire goes black,
But a spark burns still, they flirt,

Tippidy...

Cars fly by me, woosh.
crossing the street, hurry...run!
Is this the right street?
oops, wrong way, turn around... here?
Left, tall city, loud, need map....

The skin on thighs is cracked.
And what's below, don't look, from the heat,  running and dust.
From wandering .
Once royal fabrics
Evaporated , 
Are eaten away by time in search ....

You built a stone castle upon your house of cards. Then you invited us along to the party while it collapses. Me, I want a parachute so I can watch it all fall in glorious bloody red before I die.
Are we born blank note pads,...

robust wanderings
bring you near
walking stick and old canteen
britches, boots, all unseen
walks forever in the woods
chocolate bars
smoky fire
pull me out
a tent at night
and in the afternoon
sweet hay smell wispers
to the moon....

Winter chilling tribulations cannot be denied;
Nor can determination and hope that abide.
Pandemic trials and tribulations have their time,
So do the loving spiritual supports that are mine.
 
Though many are filled with grief in their fate,
I maintain loving trust in my ever-promised faith.
And though pandemonium and...

On a sapphire night, the moon glows
Gone are the stars as the wind blows
Shrugs of fog silence darkest fears
Bugs with gentle light share their tears
Free as the songs who ebb and flow
We listen to rhymes we now know
Grace stirs the spirit to sing praise
Chase peace...

In the heart of inner wanderings hides, alas, a tormented soul,
Wilted by anguishes woven at the edge of the mind, where the thread breaks.
In verses, the silhouette of an overwhelming sadness takes shape, a landscape made of lead,
Carrying with it the bitter taste of disappointment,...

Whisper softly your gentle words
In a way that lovers never find absurd
Gather in the laughter on the wind
Wanting more but not the end

Go to her when she calls
And into your arms let her fall
Wanting her your only thought
The warmth of her body is now sought

Without...

Steps ***

Remember standing barefoot
In a stream or lake or ocean as the current of water
 ran cool and fast over the ankles?
That liquid, which made our planet
a home for life, beckoning us and so delightfully.

Think of walking in night, without
lights, becoming self-contained,
losing external references, seeking...
