Runaway Train
Runaway Train
With trembling hands and racing heart
and parched desert for my throat.
Aware of only what I see
as I read the words you wrote.
Of scents sent down from heaven
and of longing in your eyes.
To lovers touching tenderly
on trembling milky thighs.
Like shock waves through my body
I feel every word I see.
Unlike anything I’ve known
is this how it’s supposed to be?
Making love in shadows
in a candles soft lit glow.
I fear love has escaped me
so much I long to know.
Soft kisses oh so tenderly
placed gently beneath your ear.
Listen. Can you hear it?
that’s my heart you hear.
Beating like a runaway train
that’s out of my control.
When your pen touches paper
your words touch my soul.
Edwin C Hofert
