Steel upon endings

Distance...to far to explain

Steel upon endings

By jack

 

Taken, by fate, to a subway of feelings

Caverns which reap what I call

Beacons of hope at the end often stealing

Fixtures in spite of it all

 

Counting the tracks of a firm destination

Purchasing tickets to share

Fear stands my heart of my own hesitation

Wondering if you are there

 

Whistles a’ call and the watchman he carries

Candles of flickering flame

Dancing like wings on the shoulders of fairies

Illumined this night to remain

 

Standing alone on this platform libation

Drinking the sights I do see

Pacing my walk as my feet they do hasten

Bounding so effortlessly

 

Hearing the rumble of steel upon endings

Narrow the edge where I wait

Moving along with the answers depending

Finding the hour is late

 

Darkness invades past the lights ever keeping

Colors to turn on in time

Riding this train of a heart constant weeping

Until the day you are mine

Thank you for reading

Lost love, lost time, lost in thought here. I wonder if this is a love that is out of reach or a love that left, or both in the same. Takes me in many different directions, with varying emotions. As steely endings would do...Beautiful and emotional read.

Thank you Frieda, to often the tracks of life are lonely.

[Holly Mason]

enjoy the images that this brings...and your words they are always special
I think I can now confidently say I would recognize your writing even if it had no name
thank you for sharing your subway of feeling and now I really want someone to take Marie on a subway*)

[Jack...]

She lives here in San Antonio as well, we don't have too many subways here.

[Jack...]

Unless of course you want a 5 dollar foot long...we got plenty of those.

Thank you Holly, I forgot to say that. It is always a pleasure to see you have reviewed one of my poems.

[Marie]

Excellent analogy to a subway...which I have never ridden...

I've never even seen a subway, and I especially enjoyed the images of it.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Marie. I was wondering if anyone would see this. I appreciate you being the first.
