Train Poem by Ahmad Attr

The clickty-clacks
oh so comfortable
on the railway tracks
Pleasant noise and loud horns
the sound of train songs

isn't it romantic
when I wait for you for hours
quite fantastic
alone as pretty lovers

I love sitting next to window
only one place more to go
'till I count hours until you're back
sad on the railways tracks

We have been together through dawns and the nights
with strangers in the dark or alone in the lights
and you get more coy as more people get on
you and your petty train songs

I hate sharing you with others
no more alone as secret lovers
I leave with holding my bag and my backpack
you slither on, on your damn railway tracks

The clickty-clacks
oh so miserable
on the railway tracks
discordant noise and loud horns
the sound of train songs
