On a Train To "dreamendon"

Fingers tapping.... Upon the windows pane To a certain rhythm inside Inside, as the colors and the sights Out of concious mind Quickly pass me by Contemplating deeply, I suppose Heaven knows.... While out of the corner of my eye Suddenly, I break this course of thought As I see her sitting there A cup of coffee held warmly Within her soft and lovely hands Her beautiful smile As she notices my glance Upon a train.... Bound for someones somewhere? And I think unto myself While staring back out Quickly across the ambient skies Unto a world, far beyond this place.... Tapping my fingers gently As I turn to see her again Thinking of forever, thoughts And how, I have never believed In chance.... Touching the windows frame Wondering about her life, her story, herself My eyes, beyond these color marked skies, now Turning, with a cup of coffee Still, within her perfect and precious hands Smiling as I amber Slowly to where she sits Tapping her fingers, and tilting her head "Hello my dear, have not I met you before?" A gleam of acknowledgment As she smiles and says, "Yes" Upon a train.... Going to someones somewhere? I take a seat, and I boldly take her hand Knowing, as the conductor calls out "Tickets please; " as she reaches into her purse And I, within the pocket of my shirt As I gaze into her eyes Deeply, as she gazes into mine Next stop; tapping upon the table top To a rhythm, of beautiful thoughts Eyes turning unto the ambier skies Her hand, now gently clutching mine "I have never believed in chance," she said As I slowly leaned forward And then, softly kissed her parting lips "Here we are," she quietly whispered Into my now, enraptured ears Upon a train.... Unto someones somewhere? As the conductor called out, "Welcome" ...................."To"................... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ "Dreamendon" ~

This is going to my favs John cos its ver beautiful and very romantic,it speaks about life and love so direct to my soul,the chances we have,decisions that have to be made,chances that we have to hold or not to hold hand,to take the chance of trust or loose it forever,the parting kiss that is sad,to let a chance end with a parting kiss,it makes want to know if you had another chance with her and if it ended inDreamendon'once more..one of your best -Outstanding----love-charma
