Train DoorsA Poem by Jacko PookTrain Doors Of all the places to fall in love But A room unkept I'd faulted on monthly repayments on the rent Pizza boxes, unwashed kitchenware, Letters in red ink What a place for a forbidden, secret kiss. Of all the places to learn a lesson in love But A train station I've too much pride to run For a train I might miss. At least walking I'll never sprint only for the Doors To close on me last minute. Of all the places to fall in love again But A kitchen with a leaky tap Nothing next but the text That told me why I ran for your train And why the pride didn't stop a thing. © 2017 Jacko Pook |
