PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Wake in the darkness of night

Hearing a roaring train in my head

Stop! Screeching to a dead halt

It crashes, I’m dead



Or am I? I see; I feel numbness

Unreality envelops my body, my mind

Feel the blood drip from my veins

This surreal imagery I can not unwind



Feet on the floor, I stumble around

I’m awake now, for the rest of the night

This long coach chugging through my head

Dragging me along this agonizing freight



Run along the rail, don’t fall again!

I turned too soon, it’s in my face

The bright beams of this Imaginary Train

Blinded me, I give up this chase



The whistle so loudly blaring

Ding! Ding! Red lights and railroad signs

The tracks change, the train shifts over

Hit the ground as I hear its earsplitting whines



Wake up, my body is numb

Blood rushes through my tired veins

My head hurts, my heart pounding

As I surrender to this Imaginary Train
