Wanton Wanderlust

Wonder's Desire to roam. Things whispered...not said out loud.

By Antoni De'LeonPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

Haiku

Wanton...Wanderlust

chaste desires. Time ravished

Seduced...It leaps forth.

*

Conquered...surrendered

spirit of wanderlust rise

Breathless, soul renewed.

*

Winds whisper. Boundless

bodies writhe...entangled arms.

Sated...Sleep dissolved.

*

Hearts twine far and wide,

horizon bends...sways to home.

Yet, still wander roams.

*

Falling leaves depart,

carried far by restless dreams.

Lust drifts just the same.

*

Sunset paints my trail,

fading footprints kiss the earth.

Wanderlusts push on.

*

Stars guide... map my way,

cosmic tides pull at my soul.

Dawn. Drifting homebound.

No more to wander

Finally home...friend...embraced

Wonder welcomes two.

........

"Wanderlust" --- The desire to explore, to roam, to live.

"Wanton" --- Unrestrained, frolicking, playfully curious.
