Wanderlust

A nomad doesn’t have a home,

A bird must spread its wings.

That is why I always roam,

A voice that needs to sing.


A wild dog can use no leash,

No chain to hold me back.

The call I feel — an endless reach,

Like a magnet, it attracts.


Like a wanted fugitive,

I’m always on the move.

There’s no one place I want to live,

Too many for me to choose.


A melting pot of cultures,

Chasing new experience.

I...

Wanderlust.

It’s all brick, beige and dull greys,

With pavement, endangered lush,

Despair on corners, crept in smog,

Fading out the last of color.


It’s the same walls every day,

The same few sights to behold,

Same ground to step my drab shoes onto,

Over, and over, a_nd over and over…_


This routine is killing me;

I wish to witness, peer out,

Past the buildings and industries,

Embrace the vibrant settings a...

Wanderlust

I wish to wander

To explore

To see


Stuck here

Is like a cage

Unable to move freely


In one place

Its like being trapped

Without movement


People say its wrong

People say I shouldn’t want it

People don’t know who I am


I know who I am

I know I want this

I know I want to travel...

Riu’s Traveling Woes

One place one day, gone the next,


Only staying for a breath,


My heart sighs, full of content,


That is how things should have went.


Yet up in the clouds, where the light appears,


Can not hold all my tears,


For all that is good and all that is great


Has been taken away from me by fate.


A god’s tale, don’t you see?


It is never of a man who is free.


Stuck in one place, only to see a face,


D...

Do I Wonder To Much?

Do I wonder to much?

There so much I don’t understand,

So meny things I cannot touch,

Or hold within my hand


I wonder about friendships

About lover and their lost

I wonder about airships

And oceans tempest tost


I wonder about stars

And the space in between

I wonder about the sky

And the air currents unseen


I wonder about my ancestors

And what they believed

I wonder about the natives ...

Wanderlust

In the heart of an adventurer, a flame burns bright,

A soul with wanderlust, craving endless flight.

Never content to stay in one place for long,

Yearning to explore, where the world's wonders throng.


Through mountains and valleys, across vast seas,

This restless spirit roams, forever seeking peace.

With each new horizon, a thrill in the air,

Uncharted territories, calling them to dare.


They cha...

ďżź Wanderlust

She dances freely with the winds of change,

With wanderlust and courage in her stride,

A gypsy soul, untamed and wild,

With the vast horizon as her guide.


She runs where roaring rivers rush and flow,

Where the stars in skies are littered and strewn,

A wanderer embracing the world with open arms,

Chasing the Golden Sun and the Silver Moon.


Her feet, they tread on paths unknown,

On roads less...

Writer’s Hikikomori

Wherever you are


If I could reach you


I would only ask


If you wonder for love


Or wander for lust,


Do you seek the world out to find home,


Or to find home in yourself.


Either way-


I can only watch you


With envy?


Maybe


But hope


Hope is what I feel


Because I know atleast I wonder


With love


About you


Your journey


For what you see,


I want to hear,


And for what you live,


I wan...

Well-Sussed Wanderlust

It was always a joke, but everyone knows, the best jokes are rooted in truth.

She would never stay put, she was too wanderlust, they mocked her even in youth.


She never stayed down, was precocious and bold, too stubborn ever to quit,

The bullies, they tried, but eventually stopped, when she just couldn’t be bothered with it.


She played four different sports, captained six different teams, brok...

Rootless

I was born without roots

I have never found soil that fed me

I long to tumble endlessly

And let the wind determine my destiny....
