Poetry


Imani Flowers

Spring 2016
​"Wanderlust"

WanderLust

I was reminded of my nostalgic thoughts.
Meshed summaries they were.

Jhene Aiko’s lyrics, Wading, in the background.


I prefer my thoughts left cold,
But instead they scald me.

My thoughts are entangled, they hurdle over this twisted brain of mine.


They leave me eager, prisoner.
I am solid, but they are forced on me like plaid on a kilt.

I wish I could run to the nearest harbor in my soul, I can’t.


With regrets of leaving thoughts in a heap on my brain
I’ve managed to recollect them, my control in a weighted tome.
