State of Limbo

A motionless train 

Very long in length 

Stretched beyond the platforms 

Packed with wanderers 

Going absolutely anywhere 

Nomadic species 

Each one's life is a Gigantic Tale 

Each one's story more impressive than the other

Some have been through never ending tunnels 

Kissed clouds from top of mountains 

Jumped from a plane thousand feet high 

Some have even visited witches 

Some have witnessed blood sucking vampires 

Some have fought fire blowing dragons 

Some have even made love to weird animals 

They are all so proud of what they have seen or done 

That they can't stop professing it to each other

Shouting out loud they are singing praises 

Each one is louder than the other 

They are all sat around me in this immovable long train 

I am suffering from the noise that is being made 

I am numb as a stone 

I am not speaking a word 

Rock hard reality has hit me hard 

I am having my moment of being nobody and doing nothing 

Not for long, 

I am no where; just for a little while 

I will wait till those wanderers have finished blowing their trumpets 

I will wait for that sudden jerk when my train kick starts

I will wait till I step out of my limbo.

ah yes, public transportations and the plastic egos of societies..this one really stuck with me, so many great lines, I felt your indifference to false one sided yapping, your soul is too immense for that, you are too aware and lucid, that rock hard reality can be unbearable, the madness it can create in you..but that madness is why you write such honest poetry..

Thank you Jason, you've got the power to feel beyond words!

those are the dreamers, the ones who fantasize their lives are more than they are.

i am the realist...my life is not made up of all these things...just the mundane, normal stuff.

i'd like to dream...but i know what life really is...and there is no getting away from that..

i like when you use metaphor...

i like poetry that uses one story to tell many others.
