Miles Poems - Poems about Miles

Calling over a blurry video, As much emotion as static would allow, Natheless I knew you missed me; your kiddo I can see it in your eyes and wrinkles now. Ever since I boarded the plane for distant lands, Venturing zealously for a better life Excitement eclipsed the price of my plans; Repenting now I didn’t kiss goodbye. Recalling sweat and all the...

An ominous trail in their dark ashes— each ellipsis hid a treacherous bend. I feel the camper’s hollow rattle between cracked ribs that won’t quite mend. Not their youth, but mine— still burning in oil-smoke haze too thick to see. Torn nights of endless yearning— a senseless chase I couldn’t face, and wouldn’t flee. Would the dust of reckless trysts still stir— and burn again? Would my reading turn to riding that soulless path, the camper’s sin? The snare of wishing for...

Life's long ride  To which, I opted for smaller tides That comes and goes Like late comers summer night Seeing myself passing over the potion Summer changes into winter And now I am with the ocean With no direction just a sprinter ...

The map lies flat, a deceit of inches, centimeters whispering false intimacies. Your voice, a ghost on the wire, once a warm hum against my ear, now a brittle echo across continents, time zones a thick pane we press against, unhearing. The scent of rain here carries no memory of the petrichor there, no shared sigh as the dry earth drinks. We build bridges of words, fragile spans across the silence, each message a small step into...

I can see you by the window from the outside Squinting, smiling through the sunlight You could see me in the corner of your eye But I'm miles away from the sight What’s the news, how is your blood glucose How did you sleep last night You can’t hear my voice I suppose You’d appreciate how hard I have tried You don’t...

I often wonder if it’s worth the effort with a keyboard or paper and pen to pour out my thoughts, heart, mind and soul from the ocean and rivers within The marrow in my bones hidden deep within these veins “This universe is a miracle,” I’ve heard Einstein once proclaimed Though admittedly, I’m not near his kind (far...

I took my bike on Amtrak, got off at Charlottesville. Climbed up to the Blue Ridge parkway, the first of many a hill. I met a Canadian Carpenter as I got closer to N.C. He was cycling alone; his wife would meet him in Miami. We shared some jokes and when food ran low resupplied at the green valley of...

NINE MILES OF BLUE By Tony Adamo (Nov.25,’05) Hip spoken’ Word I walked into a little jazz dive off 125th and Lex a cold wind blew me through the swingin’ doors/ Beer, peanuts, dark smoke and the smell of times gone by laid me out like I was a hitman in a deep freeze/ I was in...

A mile and ahead to summit, Can’t stop although I lack permit. I am always so eager to admit , It matches my way and habit . A game beyond any loss or profit, I deny to quit and never retreat. A script without retake and edit, Confidence prevails and uplift. Who said it to be undoable? None here is infallible. Resisting roughness makes it...

A thousand miles to go and a dollar to my name. A chip upon my shoulder right next to all the blame. I’m running from the future, I’m running from the past. I may be going nowhere but I’m going to get there fast. Heading toward the mountains, find a cave where I can hide. I told her I’d be...

"But I have many promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep." Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil for you are with me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all of the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of...

Paws on pilgrimage, a faithful friend Walked beside his master, 'til journey's end But Pandharpur's crowds, a moment's distraction Loyal companionship faced subtraction Ten days of travel, now lost in a blink Human hearts are heavy, beginning to sink Searched high and low, called out his name But the holy town's chaos swallowed the same Reluctant goodbyes, heavy steps homeward bound Prayers whispered for...

Across the miles, my heart does yearn, For you to know the love I burn. In distant lands, you dwell so far, Yet in my soul, you are my star. Each moment planned, each meeting near, The world conspires, but we persevere. Yet obstacles, they bar our way, But love like ours will never sway. I dream of days when we unite, Under the...

Our strength is our distance Where fortune cascades To flow on the borders Where miles assuage Our strength is our distance Arm’s length by the score An echo connecting The dots — heretofore (Dreamsleep: July, 2024) ...

You left me alone Your spirit descended and disappeared As I remember, your Death came quick I observed I immediately felt alone There was no longer your presence Standing being the only image Suddenly you spoke in a distance whisper, “Never far always Near” Those words encouraged me, and you told me not to worry Don’t feel sorry You said my cries have no despair I...
