Meet me in the final train

by Ria   May 24, 2005


Sounds of feet as the subway empties
What an echo of a day
Outside dim lights they seem to wait me
In a pleasant note of grey

Casting demons on the walls
Rising from ashes on the floors,
All shadows fake me
And lonely smoke rings in the night
still seem to break me

Come forth my dwelling shadow
The final train now sounds so close
Remember this is our last chance
So as in time we can hold on

As lights fade and wind runs faster
The final train will bring disaster
From fate to escape
You must be chosen
To leave my shadows
A chance was never closer

But now instead I have a ticket
I take my sister and move on
So as my fate will find me honest
And spare me now this journey home

So come and grab my hand my sister
I’m leaving not without your kiss
The midnight train is something we can’t miss

The tunnel brightens and sound screams
The final train I said,
is something we can’t miss

Speeding like hell on rails of judgment
Spirits are high as time runs faster
The train won’t stop, my dream will fly
I have to run, and jump up high

The train has passed, I lie so broken
My body lies on railways open
My mind has reached the hallway’s end
The snowfall outside can’t break this spell

The final train has passed me by
At least my sister will retire
Caching the train she will find peace
As shadow now, I’ll crave release

I’ll fly with smoke rings in the air
And haunt some guy in need of air
Here in the tunnel I’ll live in bliss
The final train I should not have missed

    This was an excellent poem. As everyone said, your talent is excellent. The poem flows well, and the structure helps to develop meaning. The ending is particularly shocking. I liked it. Very well done.

    Beautiful, but it sounded very sad, as though you were going through a moment of a lot of emotional turmoil when you wrote it. Thats just the feeling I got from it. Again, a wonderful poem, and I absolutely loved the scenery of gloom. Vey good!

    Good Writing!
