Trans Siberian

Metal to metal Bumping along Monotonous humming Anxiety strong Trees in my window Snow on the tracks Towns without names Filled with old wooden shacks Surrounded by vodka On tables and breaths Checkers and Yahtzee Gambling debts Fervorous passion Escaping my heart Aching and yearning For amorous spark Pools of turquoise In the aisle ahead Hair shines like copper Atop of her head Rest here beside me Capture my soul Siberian angel More precious than gold Minutes to hours Day into night Curled beside me Light up my life Whispers from heaven Capture my ears Mind numbing beauty Brings me to tears

I can hear the sound in my head of the train rattling along the rails as i read this poem. Very clever write just love it. We have steam trains here so the noises and images very strong in my head. Happy reading and writing jan x
