Trains

by PETER EDWARDS   Mar 28, 2013


Trains..

Waiting for the London train, I did so many times
So we could share some moments,
once more you would be mine
There were so many Stations, I'd wait so patiently
Waiting by those railway lines, so you and I could 'be'
The train would stop and then be gone,
and you'd be standing there
Those pretty, pretty deep blue eyes,
that lovely long red hair
Like 'Puppy lost' and out in rain, you looked so, so forlorn
My Heart just went right out to you,
so glad that you'd been born

Now that we are over, your Heart reached 'end of line'
I wait no more at stations, you are no longer mine
Sometimes when out walking, I'll often hear a train
My broken Heart then freezes, and once again feels pain
As I hear that train pull in, a tear falls from my eye
I can't believe this state I'm in, I feel I want to die
My mind just starts to wander, lives 'you and I' again
I'm praying hard to God now
Be you gets off that Train...

(some old 'love pain' from way back...)

    You really do spin a tale so very well. This one tells of a lovely red headed lady/lover who lives a more than just a few stops down the line. I could feel the excitement, the anticipation waiting for the journey to be complete, counting down the stations, the miles until you both could 'be'.

    Like so many love stories, this one had to come to the 'end of the line' - I could feel the sadness, the regret. Its right that sounds and sights can bring back memories, in this poem they bring back her, and the love you shared and still hold inside. What can one do when they feel this way? Pray, that's the ticket, pray that one day she'll get off at your stop so there can be 'you and I' again.

    The scenario that this poem describes sounds almost like a movie, and that is kind of how it played out in my head as I read it. good job!

    When it's high time, Summary arrives. Nothing has come to stay, but Truth. Another brain-storming output!
