Traveling

Scattered sky, run wit me.

As I chase the wind west of Arizona's

reddish ruins.  Aside the Colorado's

mountain springs.  Cool waters gushing

against slimy rocks. Somber the mood, 

there's a breeze.  Ah, peace, be still.

Feel the murk at the bottom of my sole.  

Deep timid shores of Florida.  Paradise!

Trees line the outer countryside among'st 

dirt roads. Capture my soul within the wind

dust as it flees.  Blinded by a mirage, superior

to lust.  Lost, 360 degree turn. Wow! Vegas. A Hoax.

Roll the dice.  Many here to win treasures.

America leads a good traveling life with

plenty commuting in a hurry. Taking no time to smell

what life represents.  As simple as a rose with thorns.

It comes with the territory.

My clever love.  Unfriendly ground,  Homewood

bound. Baltimore City streets paved with 

asphalt & blood. Guns and Guns of unloaded pain.  

It's here that love overlooked a bag of poetry.

I unpacked, read & waited for a lonely 

traveling man.  He should be turning the corner

with my love in tote.  He knows where we'll go.

Retire.  Relax in a country setting,

open range, trees, insects and 

animals. Loads of flowery beds next to

a moon lite creek full of shiny waves. Sparkling beauty.

Tripping through travel, thoughts jotted down as you move along, looking, staring, noticing the sights and feelings - reactions and emotions felt! Whilst occasional typos and lack of meter, this is wonderfully lyrical! It beckons the reader to close eyes and picture each step - then, open every sense to feel alongside you.

You've taken me to places I'm never likely to visit.. and - i feel envious! Hope your travelling man gently and lovingly hugged you warm.

A wonderful poem shared dear Roxane. I love to travel. To wander and seek new places. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry. Your good description made the situation come alive.

You have captured 'on the road' in America in a very immediate raw way. I think it works well that its not a polished piece of poetry - it has more the feeling of jotted notes.
Well done,
Alan
