I Wander

I Wander

What I would do to relax, not have this abandonment haunting my mind,

reasonable doubt is all I have to blame, 

for having no one, only promotes change.

It's a wider variety, higher on the charts, 

young, fast and free;

beats to the wanderer's heart.

Always a smile, outside and in;

hard to remember all the places I've been.

People I've met become faces I'll never forget,

with names I won't remember.

When I stand still my mind continues to roam;

Set me up over the Horizon, 

don't watch me walk away.

Please don't grab my hand, asking me to stay.

I'll be gone before the morning, home before the evening.

I own no phone, I make no plans, 

so I don't feel bad for leaving..

I heard you whisper, " I love you sweetie."

Silently in denial your voice keeps on repeating, 

those forbidden words.

I try to listen, but all I can hear is my own heart.

It doesn't skip a beat, leaving me free to walk;

alone, I wander.

I like the passion this evokes. At first, I wasn't completely drawn in, but the further I went, the more I wanted. Where I didn't believe in the sincerity of the main character in the beginning, I became a believer by the end.

In the last verse, my mind drifted in thought. Could she play with the word "wander," and also the word, "wonder," especially as the last word. Just a thought.

Keep writing... this was good... very good.

[John Fitzgerald]

very nice! I make no plans, how i wish i could live this life! there is youth and vigour in this write, yet it is never desperate for words. good write!

[E. Ryan Miller]

Really nice poetry. The thoughts you invoke are... well, thought provoking. The one thing I would point out is that your last four lines in the first stanza - they are hard to understand, in my opinion. It's as if you jump from one subject to another without letting the reader know. But that could just be me. ;)

[The Girl with the smile]

I absolutely love this poem. Even line is beautifully well written. You're a talented poet.

[hmm]

Wonderful flow and rhyme scheme!
Such a deep and emotional write.
Like your style, you have talent.
