On departure we weep.
Lives so different merge.
Lives so similar diverge....

tropics are sad
as well as railway stations.
Believe.
The choice is for
all those who passed by.

And for a Communion

Beyond time’s ceiling

A railway opens paradise---

Where astral view roams

Linking morning to starlight’s string.

Next to the railway land is that dilapidated home
she lives there in starvation and roam.

Crossing a fence like railway,

One within,one beyond,

One is mine,

One My neighbor poor,

Yield rich the other,

Mine poor,

Reason only God knows,

Why?...

nostalgia, farewell

Rails chewed up the land
Buffalo herds cease to roam
Down the railway track
Over hills, over dales gone  
‘Big Horns’ and ‘Buffalo Bills’!

tribal echoes reach        hypnotic.     simple

     Expressions


 the train                leaves     the Subway


peaceful         stranger

comfort               my                      head....

The drunk railway gangman slipped on a puddle,
Got back home soiled and in a state of fuddle,
The smell made his wife run,
To her mother's home with son,
That gave his neighbour's wife a chance to cuddle!!...

Lonesome breeze
on the wrong track
wont my babe come back
Ole Railway on a smouldering tack
Maybe she's on the wrong train
When is she coming back
What  am I  to do
with my chagrin baby
aloft in the mayfair air...

Behind on my rent…
the door slamming behind

A beggar of memories,
doomed to remind

Last boxcar of hope
on a railway of dreams

From here to tomorrow
—trapped in between

IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME

How do hares know when it is safe to cross the railway tracks without any fear
Says Northern Railways it’s because we send them a new time table every year

The moon this night
is a half but tomorrow,
tomorrow it will be the full moon.
When you and I 
open
all the night railway stations,
open
all the short towns.
And all the statues
will become meek 
scars …

I forgot my heart....

I keep seeing the railway tracks in the left hemisphere of my brain

The logical sides solution to end all this pain

Application put to practice sees the creative hemisphere strain 

A horrible ride cycle when delusion keeps sane...

Economics is a matter of interest
in the market of stagnation
lets forward laissez faire
we are not gullible

Man steps on live railway track
watch his leather hoof
wild horses conveyed
anatomically decompartized

This binary stuff is a mess
For Men's toilet walls show

"Gentlemen, please do up your dress!"*

love poems for thee and a song of despair for me
clutching pen in hand I shall run to thy basement of a shadow
by morning light an escape through a mountain cooridor
born of a railway worker and a school teacher
a man of exile ~ a man so profound...

one mile before the junction
where the fast trains start to slow
a stretch of track lies sleeping
where the grass and brambles grow.

it may have seen life's wheels of steam
and tasted diesel too
but time moves on and overgrowth
now hides it from our view....

a stroll beneath this old stone bridge
is a stroll through time and mist
where remnants from another age
and graffiti coexist.

where nitreous oxide cannisters
and weeds and grass combine
to choke the past from the valley floor
of its long lost railway line....
