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..

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(:

That is so aweosome. I love how smoothly it floats from one part to another. Nice one.

Yup, it is definitely well written. I have not a strong desire to travel all over the world, though there is a tourist in me. I just want to visit a few places which fascinate me, though being a true nature lover, I have an aspiration to range different forests with my friends (going like Bear Grylls you know). This poem, a nice work from you rekindled the desire in me to travel and I thank you for that..

I love the way you use the language in the poem. A gentle journey into thoughts and desire. Each line making the purpose of the poem come alive and strong. No weakness in this amazing poem. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

This was so beautifully penned. You really did a great job of giving the reader a guided tour through the poem. The atmosphere almost came to life around me as I read this. That is a really rare thing to be a able to accomplish and you did it very well. I did enjoy it :)
