This Wandering Heart of Mine

wrote this is algebra...

I want to fall in love for just a day,

but then ride from him after a passionate kiss in the pouring rain

off into storm I'll mourn for my lost lover,

but then I'll just find myself another.

I want to fall in love with the city streets

find beauty in every swirling oil leak.

Then when I become to attached,

rip myself away and force my wings to flap.

I want to fall in love with the salty sea breeze

and lounge under shady palm trees

but then when the beauty of the sunset becomes too much

I'll fly until I can't feel the heat's lingering touch.

I want to fall in love with the Northern lights

and gaze at them for endless nights

until they've lost their luster and shine

and I'll soar away until they're no longer mine.

I want to fall in love with the land and the seas

but someday when my wings lose their feathers and my eyes lose their gleam,

I'll no longer be able to fly.

Just Stuck. Sedentary. Waiting to die.

I'll miss my lover,

and relive our kiss in the rain,

I'll miss the city with a smog cover,

and the sounds of whistling trains.

I'll miss the sunsets

painted in orange and red,

with many regrets,

I'll miss the green dancing lights overhead.

All I'll want is a few more years,

to love, dance, laugh, and shed a few tears,

100 years just isn't enough,

to love all there is to love.

Author's Note

I need more time to do the things I want to. I'll never be able to live every one of my dreams in my lifetime, I have a feeling if I'm not already I'll be an old soul.

This was easily one of my favorite from you. You did a wonderful job with descriptions and just everything altogether. So many likes metaphors and similes and this just came out beautiful.

"I want to fall in love with the Northern lights
and gaze at them for endless nights
until they've lost their luster and shine
and I'll soar away until they're no longer mine."

That^ was gorgeous.
This whole thing was quite great, I really connected and I could feel every emotion you were speaking through.

I like the desire of this poem. Good to have fun and travel. I told my kids. Travel and see the world before being locked into a life of work and raising kids. Good to dance in the rain and have some fun. Old age come to all of us. I like the strong ending to the outstanding poetry.

I don't know what I'm feeling about this one exactly, :) but this made me sad in a soothing manner that I can't really feel the sadness too. I like it when I get quite after reading something, I figured out that I begin to relate myself with the words and sentiments I read and the involvement is so much that it gets really difficult to express my feelings about the content right away. I hope you have got my point that I loved it. Brilliant work. . :)
