Idream Now has been recently upgraded to http://idreamnowtravelblog.com/
I found this beautiful and inspiring poetry book called Notes From the Inside by Doug Rose. Anyone wishing to read some inspiring poetry about Traveling should continue reading.
Offerings
Facing forward, looking back the way I
Travelled all I could see was a crystal ship
Suspended from the rear view mirror. Beauty
For the future or the past? Stay here in the
present, the waves are better, it beckons me
inside. Sail to the emerald isle, covered in a
hundred shades of green, drinking beer
beneath ancient trees surrounding Trinity
College. An old man (he could have been
the next James Joyce) sits on a park bench,
waiting to see what he missed. All the words
that eluded him are piled up, running
through other people’s veins. If I was cut
open I would offer him some with bloody
fingers.
Doug Rose Notes from the Inside. P.57
Travel Guides
“That tidal wave crushed me down into the
sand, left me gasping for air in unfamiliar
territory. When I roll over I’ll find it’s all
been a dream, or discover how to breath
again. Did I make a conscious decision
many years ago to be alone? Somewhere, in
The far recess of my mind, turning a
corner, not recognizing where I was, I kept
going anyway. A sense of wonder, an aura
Of mystery perhaps? Did I really think I was
the first one, the only one to go down that path?
Keep logging those impressions, maybe
one of us will produce the next Mona Lisa
or at least a new Travel Guide.”
Doug Rose Notes from the Inside p.18
The Wrath Of Angels
Stay with me here, in this moment. It’s the
Only one that matters. I can’t undo
Yesterdays, I’m not looking for tomorrows.
Drown me here and now with flowers of
Love. Slap me with blossoms, tattoo my skin
With striped stems, rake me over your coals
With fine intentions. Then, if you told me
You loved me I’d believe it. I can’t hurt you
Anymore, I’ve sold that too. This is for you,
Kept for all these years. An angel took it
from my hands, exchanged for ribbons of youth.
