Everywhere and nowhere: home is no place.
Clicks. Belts fastened tomato juice sloshing.
Searching for the soul, an exhaustive chase.
Deep corners of the Earth thumbtacks squashing.
Few precious hours sweet purgatory.
Nauseously shaking, cold sweats, hot flashes.
No excitement that’s not mandatory.
Rare moments of peace misty eyelashes.
Between worlds, clutching neither time nor needs,
clammy hands grasp old baggage; last to stand.
Blonde curls, pockets full of sunflower seeds.
Turbulent past brings nostalgic disband.
Aggravating truths; one longs to be whole.
Stability? The clouds achieve this goal.

WELCOME SERENITY ~ Thanks for your first poem which is elegantly penned ~ Three perfect quatrians (with consistent abab cdcd etc rhyming) and a culminating doublet. The subject matter is divine and takes one by the hand and sweeps one through time and space as restless and free as the clouds ~ awesome poetry and one of the most mind expanding I have read on MPS in the last year. SO ~ I visited your BLOG it is a descriptive masterpiece of here there and every where an beautifully illustrated ! Alabama ~ Siberia (Lake Baikal) ~ Rome _ Venice ~ Moscow ~ Georgia ~ Seasons ~ Brodsky ~ Spirit & Soul etc etc ! I have been to Alabama (awesome people) ~ Rome ~ Venice and (to pay my homage to Mother Russia) St Petersburg ~ so I can empathise and see somethings through you eyes ! Back to the poem: It is frenetic (as become a Globetrotter) and your use of language is as elegant as your are ! Thanks for caring and sharing ~ Love in Poetry ~ BRIAN (UK)
Brian,
Thank you very much for your lovely comment! I am so happy that my words can resonate with others, especially fellow globetrotters like myself. Clouds was one of the only poems I have ever written and it is encouraging to know someone out there enjoyed reading it. I will happily read some of your poems!
I am trying to work on more posts for my blog in order to share more of my reflections as well as to provide consistency for my readers. Please feel free to 'Like' my Facebook page for my blog to get updates when I add more posts.
