Some affirm
tropics are sad
as well as railway stations.
Believe.
The choice is for
all those who passed by.
And for a Communion
(with
a rose).
In 1821 began by S&DR
the world commenced to travel by railwaycar
Pulled by No 1,the very first locomotive
& christened by Stephenson&Co ....the Active
How do hares know when it is safe to cross the railway tracks without any fear
Says Northern Railways it’s because we send them a new time table every year
Rather On Another Cover
Rod Stewart
We know is definitely not from Newark.
Rather than being on the front of Rolling Stone,
Prefers Railway Modeller cover his image be shown.
Next to the railway land is that dilapidated home
she lives there in starvation and roam.
that my universe are
she is my sister,
but the people can't find her; humanity leads to gloom.
Two Palm trees,
Crossing a fence like railway,
One within,one beyond,
One is mine,
One My neighbor poor,
Yield rich the other,
Mine poor,
Reason only God knows,
Why?
nostalgia, farewell
RAILS © TANKA
Rails chewed up the land
Buffalo herds cease to roam
Down the railway track
Over hills, over dales gone
‘Big Horns’ and ‘Buffalo Bills’!
Didee
tribal echoes reach hypnotic. simple
Expressions
the train leaves the Subway
peaceful stranger
comfort my head.
The drunk railway gangman slipped on a puddle,
Got back home soiled and in a state of fuddle,
The smell made his wife run,
To her mother's home with son,
That gave his neighbour's wife a chance to cuddle!!
Lonesome breeze
on the wrong track
wont my babe come back
Ole Railway on a smouldering tack
Maybe she's on the wrong train
When is she coming back
What am I to do
with my chagrin baby
aloft in the mayfair air
Behind on my rent…
the door slamming behind
A beggar of memories,
doomed to remind
Last boxcar of hope
on a railway of dreams
From here to tomorrow
—trapped in between
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)
The moon this night
is a half but tomorrow,
tomorrow it will be the full moon.
When you and I
open
all the night railway stations,
open
all the short towns.
And all the statues
will become meek
scars …
I forgot my heart.
I keep seeing the railway tracks in the left hemisphere of my brain
The logical sides solution to end all this pain
Application put to practice sees the creative hemisphere strain
A horrible ride cycle when delusion keeps sane
Economics is a matter of interest
in the market of stagnation
lets forward laissez faire
we are not gullible
Man steps on live railway track
watch his leather hoof
wild horses conveyed
anatomically decompartized
The British are first to confess
This binary stuff is a mess
For Men's toilet walls show
- a century ago -
"Gentlemen, please do up your dress!"*
* e.g., Welsh singer Tom Jones'
hometown railway station at
Pont-y-pridd
The railway train ambling along its tracks
Thousands of years echoing in harmony
Shadows receding among lush foliage
Aurora, your strides are always confident

a stroll beneath this old stone bridge
is a stroll through time and mist
where remnants from another age
and graffiti coexist.
where nitreous oxide cannisters
and weeds and grass combine
to choke the past from the valley floor
of its long lost railway line.
CREIT TO GO MAD!
-Dharga Nagar Safa
You are asking credit,
I am not giving,
You are going mad.
I am giving credit
You are not paying,
l am going mad!
Better you are going mad!
(This is a notice in Sinhalese language displayed at a railway restaurant)
On the road I can move with speed
Without a road my life is blue
But as I move, I proceed
Down this road to somewhere new
I can’t imagine my life without a car
Going place to place as slow as tar
Relying on others to travel again
Like being stuck on a railway train
Railway journeys
Lost are travel times,
Dressed in best for the wedding,
Took an express train,
Landed up with soot on clothes,
And coal flakes in silky hair !!

For contest "Railway journeys" by Shadow Hamilton
Everyone else has gotten off,
how long am I to stay?
The train unstationed, tender gone,
its engine writhed in pain
Did I miss my stop on the journey down?
“an express” the porter screamed
All light afire, ticket burnt
—satanic nightmare dreamed
(Drexel University: February, 2020)
It's a basic track layout
just a circle with you
as the central feature in the middle of it.
My train does not travel anywhere -
why should it? Don't care.
Sometime though
I imagine you onboard the loco
with me,
even though that model steam train
has been discontinued for many years.

Beyond this lifetime's ceiling
A railway opens hallowed paradise;
Where astral view roams in eternal grace
I splash this sacred dimension
With hues pure as lilies and sea- pearls,
Linking dawn to endless strips of starlight.
When you swell
your tender balloon
with the tense air
holding dense questions
Shall I be able to?
Think about the railway tracks
Parallel when near
Converging when distant
But eventually going closer
vanishes the intersection.
Be on the right track
Don't let the balloon burst
And say
I shall be able to.
