Steel Upon Endings

Steel upon endings 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

Yeah, that rhythm of hearts resembling a train. And it hurts, it often does. I want to be with him.

of all the wonderful things about this poem, chris (and there are many!), i am most taken with the perfect rhythm. it cleverly mimics the motion of the train as it approaches the station and i was able to picture it all so well while absorbing the meaning at the same time. bravo!
