This poem explores the journey of the Unbound Wanderer, a restless soul seeking solace while navigating a world filled with paradoxes. With a freedom tied to their curse, the wanderer traverses diverse landscapes and engages in philosophical reflections on themes of impermanence, possessions, and the essence of life. Despite the solitude of their path, their spirit remains high, illustrating the complex interplay of loneliness and liberation in the quest for exploration and self-discovery.
In endless wanderings, I roam alone,
A cursed soul, forever to atone.
No home, no hearth, no place to rest,
No family’s love, no kin’s behest.

A gypsy’s spirit, wild and free,
One path’s end but leads to three.
Twisting roads that never cease,
In search of solace, fleeting peace.

With wings of sandals, I drift and glide,
A solitary reaper, no one by my side.
The world’s embrace, a distant dream,
Forsaken, lost, or so it seems.

We enter life from warmth of womb,
Cast adrift from loving tomb.
Possessions, ties, mere illusions spun,
For all is left when life is done.

Yet, from the womb, a wanderer sprung,
Naked we enter, hearts unsung.
Life’s fleeting spark, love’s tender bloom,
All fade like phantoms in the tomb.

In shadows deep, where silence sings,
I ponder life’s ephemeral strings.
A traveller’s curse, forever more,
A nomad’s heart, to wander’s core.

Through deserts vast and forests dark,
By moon’s soft glow and sun’s bright spark.
A journey endless, night and day,
A life’s brief flicker, swift decay.

Yet in this curse, a freedom found,
Untethered soul, to earth not bound.
For though I walk this path alone,
My spirit’s flight is all its own.

Through storms that rage and seas that swell,
I’ve faced the heavens, defied the hell.
With every twist and turn, I grow,
In this relentless ebb and flow.

The world may turn its back on me,
But I am boundless, wild, and free.
With every step, a tale is spun,
A saga of the wandering one.

My heart, a compass, guiding me,
Through unseen realms, eternity.
No chains can bind, no walls contain,
The endless quest, the sweet refrain.

For in this life of transient grace,
I find my truth, my rightful place.
A solitary star, I gleam,
A traveler in an endless dream.
AND A MORE MELANCHOLIC VERSION
The Unbound Traveller portrays a lonely wanderer lost in a mysterious past, navigating an alien world filled with memories that offer no comfort. Their journey explores themes of loneliness, the longing for belonging, and the quest for meaning in an indifferent world, reflecting on the fading touch of love and the paradox of freedom.

In endless veils of twilight gray, I roam,
A forgotten echo, whispering my own name.
No hearth remembers, no embers glow,
Just chilling winds where laughter used to flow.

A tethered spirit, forever astray,
Lost in a labyrinth, with no light of day.
Twisting paths like memories half-known,
Lead to nowhere, a garden overgrown.

With tattered cloak, I drift and sigh,
A lonely reaper beneath a barren sky.
The world’s a tapestry where I don’t belong,
A faded whisper in a forgotten song.

Cast from a womb, a memory erased,
Naked I wander, forever out of place.
Love’s tender echo, a distant chime,
Fades in the darkness, lost before its time.

A tethered spirit, forever astray,
Lost in a labyrinth, with no light of day.
In starless silence, where shadows creep,
I search for solace, a promise I can’t keep.

Through barren plains and forests cold,
I chase the moon, a story yet untold.
A journey endless, a fading light,
A flicker lost in the eternal night.

No solace found in freedom’s claim,
Just the gnawing hunger of a forgotten name.
Though storms may rage and oceans roar,
There’s no solace found on this lonely shore.

With every step, a teardrop falls,
A silent saga on these weathered walls.
My heart, a compass, lost and worn,
Seeks a harbour, forever to be mourned.

No chains can bind this weary soul,
But freedom’s song leaves me feeling whole?
In this transient life, a fading spark,
I search for solace, forever in the dark.

A tethered spirit, forever astray,
Lost in a labyrinth, with no light of day.
A solitary star, a fading ember’s gleam,
A wanderer lost in a forgotten dream.
