Wanderlust

A teacup dangles from the end of my finger,

the last drops plopping onto the tiled floor.

A reverie lingering above my head,

leaning on a Paris' thin balcony, eyes closed.

The bed sheets are wrinkled,

the pillows lost in seas of milky silk.

A scent floats above the breathless marble,

can you see the olive groves blooming in Greece?

Tinkling bells echo the cobblestone street,

the tires of this bicycle are worn dangerously thin.

Sushi shops sing up the avenue,

Tokyo skips along with me embracing this restless skin. 

A thick scarf hugs my neck,

a painter quietly evolving his own piece of life.

Oddly welcoming rickety wooden chairs rest,

a trifle of London is savored in an old snapshot.

The adrenaline of tomorrow 

runs the wanderlust humming in my soul.

Maybe this is as high as I'll ever get, 

on top of my imagination's throne..

Hello writers and dreamers, I haven't been on for a long time, so I apologize. This is a poem of my true wanderlust, my desire to travel the world. I hope you guys enjoy it! :)

This is so good!!! Out of all the places, I've only been to Paris, but is love to go to the others!:) like Eli said, you painted a great picture here of all these places(: your poetry is so beautiful and flows so smoothly! I enjoyed reading every word of it! Well done(:

This is absolutely amazing

You painted a great journey for me with your words! Honestly, I felt like I was reading a story so you could probably make it more poetic and "mysterious" (if that's a good word) if you cut out some words in each line. I have to say though that my favorite part is the last stanza. It wraps the poem up very nicely for me. Great job!

Being the cynical dreamkiller I am, I can't relate to the slightest interest in traveling the world, however I do enjoy your style and general optimism. Maybe one minor complaint is that you only listed off the major places of the world everyone talks about. (i.e. Paris, Greece etc.) Perhaps you could've made it a little longer and get more descriptive with more places in the world (Japan, Africa, Australia, Haiti, etc.). But nonetheless it was well-penned and vividly expressed. Well done

I must say, I absolutely adore the way you write.

And traveling the world is one of the most fun things to do. :) Fantastic work.
