The clack of rails in break
upon the ribbon steel.

The clink of dishes
Smell of coffee, bacon, biscuits
touch of color in fruit display
two hearts..riding rails...

Whispering pines flowing by
beyond the window reflecting
eyes of gleam, eyes of love
as touches bring the passion
of sway to the minds
in wait...of yet a moment...

Lost to the sounds, the rocking feel
the distant bell of a crossing passed.
Into the night, on silver rails
Love’s journey rides...

A berth for two...
Awaiting...anticipating....
Breath flowing upon the fog of sight
beyond the scene of silver moon’s
beam

Oh to ride the rails,  
feel the sway of passion’s messenger
carrying the sensual feel....

As dreams continue the journey
and rails sing a lullaby for two..

Barry

Wasn't there a movie like this one time...a time when romance was a train ride away...yes, I'm sure there was...or was that real?  Enjoyed!

Surely Bogey and one of his flames must have
done just this....once...long ago...

Or,  was I just dreaming again?

TD...maybe I need to write a rain poem...
Naw....I don't have the headgear, the right
costume....or the touch....  So,  I'll
just dream of rails....

Magnus I don't know if Bogart did one or not, but I do know that I have seen movies where the ride set the mood for passion.  Very well done sir.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

Wow, oh my gosh, what a coincidence, before I read the comments I also thought of Humphrey Bogart on certain parts! (smiles) Wow, there you have it, your wonderful words can always spark such wonderful flashbacks, I LOVE IT!!! I wish for this era of classic romance to find its rebirth, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Magnus darling heart when you write like this I swear the pages actually sigh with each breathe I take. I can feel the poem, feel each breath of this, the romance laces through this with only the touch you can brush into it. Exquisite writing as always YOU excel darling heart. Truly you get better and better, I love it utterly utterly utterly I’m glad I found this one


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Magnus,

You are such a romantic writer. Your pen just exudes sensuality in every word picture you paint.
