Wanderlust

I need to go East
I need to go West
I need to go South
I need to go North
I don't have a home...
I am a wanderer .

I carry the fragrance of Indian masalas ,
I am the history of Egyptian treasures ,
I fight a battle of a Roman Gladiator ,
I undertake an oddessey to the far off  Greece .
I am a wanderer .

I lounge on the praieries ,
I party in Las Vegas ,
I hide in the African jungles ,
I smell the Ghana coffee ,
I am a wanderer .

I scour the Himalayas ,
I peep into the Pacific ,
I tread on the London Bridge ,
I sleep in the Venecian gandolas ,
I am a wanderer .

I take refuge
I find peace
I beget solace
I live on the edge of life and death
I am a wanderer .

    Hi zoya..thx for reading my poem..as far as your concern over the title,who have can more wanderlust than a wanderer and 'wanderer' seemed a very commonplace title to me...

    thats a very personal choice...my very first poem on the blog has the same name...it also means how
    my readers and I were meant to be together...I hope it's clear to you now...
