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..

Nice bit of poetry, my line is more Gonzo/Graphic Insanity in word form. But I liked this, not sure why, reminds me of Vegas.

You have traveled the world in this remarkable poem.

Great imagery I also want to see it all.What if when you die you are asked while on earth what did you see?I want to say all of the wonders earth has to offer.

I had decided that I would read poems slowly to understand their meaning. So with that in my mind I read your poem and guess what I enjoyed it. A good piece of poetry. I hope you will post poems like this in the future as well.
