Train Rides

see how the landscape slides
past us, time doesn't stand
still, although it seems to
when we meet on the train
platform, the expression on
your face, I feel its "thud" as
the train slows at the next
station, you've not seen the
last of my green eyes, you know, they
haunt you, I watch you disembark at
a remote spot, some little town
without boundaries where
you can nurse your wounds and
recapture the child inside the
part of you that still loves train rides
