I was on the edge of the platform, when I had a heart attack
I clutched...

A fleeting moment in time,
Is all I need for this rhyme,
Perhaps 10 minutes, no more
Sit in your armchair, close your eyes,
And to your utmost surprise,
Your life flashes past like an express train,
Happy moments with unimaginable...

peace is broken, homes destroyed, lives shattered, a sea of refugees fleeing torrential bombs, under the ether of Western civilization resisting a...

The pain returns as quickly as an express train racing out...

I fall
I leave and
I let go
For all I know
This brain dead of a year
Has taught me how
And I know now

The start of something new
It don’t feel so right for me

There is lousy luck at a slot machine.
We play roulette after blackjack.
The table games are just as mean.

Excited faces looking out,
Views through mountain pass,
Laughter and joy,
Winter trips, 
Snow plow pushes through,
Long journey ahead,
Orient express train speeds,
Onward through blizzards,
Fast and furious, 
Unstoppable!
People chatting,	
Without a care,
Unaware!
Phantom ride to scare,
Strange things occur,
Ghost waiter’s serve,
But were...

I'm lost in the maze of words,
My thoughts flying wildly,
Like a flock of frightened birds.
Sometimes inspiration races like an express train,
Other times I'm stuck,
A constipation of the O Almighty Brain.
Trying to think of a clever...

I don't like sunshine 
at a stretch 
Still, if it is staying away 
for long
I am robbed of my roses 

A continuous rain
a non-stop super express train 
I do criticize 
but then a few raindrops...

Thunderously angry  month of weather .
Horrible, with intermittent spells of dreadful.

Prepared in 10cm pots (no peat...

This has brought my express train to a halt.
A smoky distillation of barley malt,
has me unable to think straight.
Here I am in the joint very late.
