Listen to poem:
how she longs to escape
carefree pack a bag
leaving all behind

hop on a train and run 
straight into the arms
that hopefully long for her

as if she really dares
be transported by visions
of flambéed passion

not really knowing if
she too fills his daydreams
with lustful longings

does she haunt his nights
so he too fights desires that rattle
and deprive his sleep

does he secretly long to possess her
feverishly amorously
the way a lover should

she didn’t go looking for him
they somehow found each other
their lives meshing intertwining

her heart seeming ripe
for a train ride to adventure
and long distance romance

Line, as I read this I could hear the hum of the train station and feel the longing of a lover's hopes. Beautifully written.
