A Poem from 2002

This may just be my lifelong motto…

Wanderlust

(4.10.02)

This feeling inside

A confusing notion;

Empty as a sieve

After sand’s ticking motion.

I travel where I please

Excited for the day,

But only for an instant

As enjoyment fades away.

I am left with a hole

In my mind and my eye,

A hole only filled

By the fresh things I try.

I taste tropical air,

It heals cracks in my skin,

But cracks of wanderlust

Are hard to fill in.

It makes me feel lost

No guide to my life.

Should I be content

With a life full of strife?

Some people are simple

They enjoy things for all time.

To that line of thought

My mind will not rhyme.

I need new things to challenge,

To awaken my senses.

Words do not stimulate

By altering tenses.

It all eats away

At my mind, you know?

So where’s the next place?

Where the hell should I go!?

I falter without change

Constants bore holes in my head

If everywhere is here

I’d rather be dead.
