Tunnels

Yes, a persistent darkness that haunts me at the moment... Real and abstract... definitely a cipher. I love that you were able to take in the imagery and draw your own conclusions. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you so much for joining me on the train, even if it's a melancholy journey in this case. It's a little less lonely with someone else there...

You fight the darkness and get into the light and create good new memories with your love ones and friends.  Keep on writing.

It seems we so often are fighting the darkness but we still find ourselves in the light creating good memories with loves ones and friends. That's so important... And yet I find the darkness wants me more and so you can find me dwelling there in the night. Thanks so much for stopping by to board this train with me Francisco.

I will always board the train with you and bring to the light of passion.

The light of passion makes everything better. :)

With you my sexy lady everything is better. 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

The train and tube a place to just be
Love and light

You totally get it Ron... You can just be... another face in the crowd headed to nowhere perhaps. But I love the train and the tube and I miss it so much. I loved getting lost there and the train stations. There was just something about that environment and being able to lose yourself headed to nowhere perhaps, but always somewhere nonetheless. Thanks for coming along with me on this train.

Well hey Aj, I always love seeing you here with me. A flower and a heart says so much to me... It's so easy to get lost in the sadness sometimes but knowing someone else is there for you is a beautiful gesture. Thanks so much for stopping by the station to share those with me. :)

I'm here if you need. Just quiet. 🌼

Thanks Aj, you are very sweet. 🤗

I enjoyed the mysterious journey this poem takes you on.
I can imagin everthing. Darkk tunnels and clanking trains.

When you head into London from the south west, you know you are comming into the city when you see miles of grave yards. The green blur turns to graves then suburbs.

Regards
James

Life can be a very mysterious journey and sometimes it takes us to dark places but we must always keep searching... So many dark tunnels and somehow the clanking trains are soothing in a way, showing that everything always moves forward. Even if at times we wish we could stop that movement. I love London, it's an amazing city and I also have often found myself in graveyards. There was a very old one near where I lived in the UK growing up. I got up to a lot of things there. (but we won't talk about that ;) ) I miss the UK so much....

A graveyard under the afternnoon sun is beautiful. But after the sun goes down, the mind wanders and shadows and light breaks in trees start to freak me out. I like your take on dark tunnel trains, moving forward even if there is darkness ahead, the tunnel must end.

James

Yes, always moving forward one way or another. The next destination always lies ahead. It can be scary when I am alone with my thoughts sometimes and my mind wanders finding myself in the shadows and darkness.

This poem heavily inspired my poem the soundtrack.

James

Wow, I really love know that James. Thanks so much for telling me. Your poem and soundtrack are amazing and that makes me feel like a muse in a way. :)

The subway is a good place to be alone in your thoughts.  Your thoughts are dark and trying.  You can avoid faces on the train or embrace them.  Hardly anyone smiles on the train, perhaps that's what's missing.

This is my 7th or 8th read Kx
Just saying ....

BIG

That's true... I love it when there are not many people around but also when it's packed. Either way you can still be alone with your thoughts, even if those thoughts differ. Dark and trying, yes. Avoid or embrace, that's so true. It's a unique environment; one I mostly experienced in the UK... I loved grabbing a Cornish Pasty, the traditional one, and just getting lost in it. Perhaps some other things I shouldn't be doing. ;) 7th or 8th read... damn! Well I know you have access to the subway every day so I am happy if you got something from this one. Love the BIG. Thank you!

London was my home away from home.
Always loved the vibe and grey skies. Nothing that a pint at the pub couldn’t cure.  NYC subways are more derelict but if you wanna get someplace fast, it’s the best ride in town.  Really cool when they go above ground too.  Coming out into light is a rush …

More BIG

Vibe and grey guys, I love it too... And the pubs were so friendly. There was a local near where I lived with outdoor seating that was just great. Loved going there on a Sunday. The tube is it's own little world and I love the stations. I remember taking the Eurotunnel too that was fun. :) Coming out into the light after going under the channel was something else...

You have the Honeydrippers song "Sea of Love" playing through my mind, delectable the train moves seamlessly with all her intoxicating intricacies

I don't know that one but I will definitely look it up and have a listen... so many intoxicating intricacies to deal with. This train never stops moving. Thanks so much for coming aboard and spending some time with me. ;)

Hey you!
This is insightful, enlightening.  Well written of course.  But, I really like the thoughtful in depth point of view.  I usually enjoy the writes that describe the way things are felt, as they are being described.  That's the emotional impact I guess?  
This fits that perfectly.  It puts the reader right there with you, sharing the scene and the mood.  
Awesome stuff, Scooby!

Hey Styx! Always great to see you. :) You are such an amazing writer. I love that you think it's well written and that you can see the depth in the point of view. I feel things intensely so I hope you feel that as well including the emotional impact. I especially love putting you right there with me. I adore that you see this as awesome stuff. Thank you so much for visiting me and sharing your thoughts. I hope you are having a great year so far. How in the hell is it the end of May already. smh.

"take a closer look - this is how time passes,
take a closer look - this is how the years fly."
I found this relatable, nostalgic and spiritual almost. It tugs at the heart.
Beautiful work.

We are always passing through tunnels... through the dark and the light. The train is always moving for better or worse...
Relatable, nostalgic, and spiritual almost. I love that description and that it made you feel that way. And I do love tugging at your heart, because you have a beautiful heart so it's always nice to pull it closer. :) Thank you for saying it's beautiful work. I really appreciate it a lot.
