Vagabond Kings

Give me the poverty 
that enjoys true wealth
And the joy in believing
— that nothing is free

Premium Member Conniving Wayfaring Vagabond

He’s a conniving, wayfaring vagabond
Roaming around with nary a bond
He was a delight
Casanova all night
Many women became totally fond.

The Learning Curve

Our Vicar has a magic wand
A gift from some old vagabond
Though our choir can't sing
His "uppity" thing
Will rise to salute every blonde!

I said -
I will accomplish;
They said -
I will not...
I became 
A vagabond;
 I accomplished
What they ever could not...!

Mi Amor

the world may die and fall, 
but you'll always be in my heart, 
even if everyone turns against you, 
my love will always be with you

- vagabond


Telos


And with your departure,
all chapters quietly closed.
Perhaps this was our telos—
so close,
like a moth to light,
drawn, but never together.

A Poet's Regret


These days I have been indulging myself, 
But lurking guilt always dims my joy, 
In the rhythm of rushed life, 
I even forgot how to write!

Vagabond

She that travels alone 
Dies in the end in the bitter cold
With a trail left behind her
Of
Whispers
Thoughts
Of the world
And time
That was never hers to
Own.

Premium Member nomadic nuisance

ambulatory itinerant vagabond
nomadic nuisance
feared by some
adored by others

wayfaring wood tick
travels on white tail deer
enjoying his journey and beast’s blood

Life's A Vagabond

Find your own waves
In the sea or in the sky
Don't mix emotion
While floating in mid air
Go with the flow
As you wander why
Life is a vagabond
In this flowing stream.

Disability

My disability might impede me, physically, 
but my mind runs rampant, 
even if my spine abandons me sometimes, 
my spirit always flames bright.

Premium Member wind dreams

Naught but a billowed vagabond
A breeze longing to shriek
Soar on an eagle’s up draft
Plunge, predator-like, to earth
Riffle the grasses as I pursue
The limitations of my fate

Premium Member The Vagabond Whippet

A vagabond whippet in Scranton PA
Will be your best friend before running away
Neither callous nor rude
He just craves solitude
When open roads call he must always obey

Premium Member Your Sea Krait

~ I'm your sea krait 
cascading through the veins
a mischievous vagabond passing through
needing no invitation to seduce your DNA 
weaving my way into the next generation
I'm your sea-salty krait~

The Vagabond By Tom Wright There was a traveler named Trent, From a city in Michigan called Flint. He traveled so much, He was never in touch, Seems each time he arrived he went.

Like a ravished maiden 
pale, forlorn and ashen
the birch lay in the still pond.
Dreams of Ophelia evoke nostalgia, 
as golden tresses move on,
splay upon the water
feast upon our daughter
a beautiful vagabond.

The Vagabond

Rose petals blown
By North wind sing
Drift to and from.

As the twig sways
Blown gush of win
Flowers falling.

Ripe red apples
Eaten by birds
As reapers watch.

Dried leaves afloat
Flowing stream
Going to sea.

Premium Member Vestigial Vagabond

The tail of a beaver, bill of a duck
yet they pull it off with honor and pluck
made with spare parts
they capture our hearts
with DNA tests that read WTF

Premium Member Prosperity

Prosperity, vagabond,
Pickpocket of poor and old
Predator of oil and gold
Jewels, cash, land, or blondes.

When Prosperity pulls stakes,
Abandonment marks its wake 
Jobs and places disappeared
Prosperity robbed and sneered.

Vagabond Drifters

Vagabond drifters meander on zephyr winds never questioning 'ere they rove Kindred gypsy souls, undaunted by life's harried challenges xenophobia and judgement free ignoring yesterday's philosophies

Premium Member take me home

boundless …

are the fleshy trails
this vagabond has traveled …
but yours -
toes-to-calf-to-knee
then tenderly on
like a soft-winding path of
highland heather
the savory slope of your thigh
leads me sweetly …

home.

Premium Member Watching the Trains

Watching the trains pass 
wanting to hop on 
and find my way home;
From this train station 
no destination; 

I run restless
jump and wander  
wishing on wind; 
 
A starving 
vagabond 
just searching 

hoping 
to feel 
loved.

Premium Member Verily

Verily, verily
Violent truth has come
Vagabond of heaven
Visage of holiness
Veering the world off course
Vindicator of the
Vulnerable - that’s us
