Midnight Express

Hi Everybody...new poem. Anyone have a piece I could use with it for Emotionography?

Midnight Express

as the hourglass seeps empty
in a world that never knew me
beside a broken-hearted woman
I’m confined between the lines

tethered to honor forsaken
and the gaze of wide-eyed children
who ache to heal the injuries
of old conflicts unresolved,

the love of my life lies sleeping
dreaming of alternate memories
promises propped in dusty corners
struggling to keep the faith…

God bless her beautiful heart
and soft, sweet whispering kisses
echoing through the still of night
like the purr of a distant train

Murfreesboro, Tennessee '14


For those of you who don't know me, I've been hanging out here for about five years and have a non-commericial website with my poetry in it that many FAA artist have most generously contributed to. I use their pieces and put links to their website on the piece and in a credits page.

Thanks,
Jerry
