I want to drop
my strings of iron
thread a rail
to connect our hearts
I want you to roam
my labyrinth of tracks
lose the meaning
of end and start
I want to ride
in your locomotion
feel our combustion
feed each new mile
I want the ticket
with the golden prize
whistle stop tour
of your loving smile

Very nice use of train speak to weave it into life, wonderfully done, loved the different take you took to it.
nice work…
I want to ride that train…like the undercurrents of your words….these lines are lovely:
I want you to roam
my labyrinth of tracks
lose the meaning
of end and start
I want to ride
in your locomotion
lose the meaning of end and start are my fav lines…followed close by whistle stop tour of your loving smile…fresh approach rose…much appreciated and nice spun…
you had me with the first two stanzas..dropping the strings of iron and connecting the hearts..beautiful set up for all that follows..
Such a romantic sentiment to send a loved one, perhaps on a card. Love it!
I’ve hear dof the romance of trains – but never quite like this. Great poem.
Really intriguing opening there Rose… strings of iron.. nice one…
what a lovely, romantic train-inspired poem. nice job!
Tastefully sensual and beautiful 🙂
yes, lovely, romantic, sensual, sweet.
I think yours is one of the few responses that chose to use the train almost purely as metaphor–and very well you’ve done it, fresh and vibrant. Enjoyed it much.
Love the love poem running smooth, not at all ‘on the rails’. Great!
choooo-chooooo. fun, whimsical and wise, I find this!
No stowing away in a drafty boxcar in these wonderful words. I bet you are in the finest dining car together, having a 5-course meal, with champagne. Then share a luxurious private sleeping car with a moon roof in the Rockies.
