Gently rolling along the tracks
Your head against my chest
I'll pet you softly when your dreams change
And nightmares will never come again
The whistle blows shrilly
And I worry you might wake
But you push closer
Sigh sleepily, and slumber again
Where did I go right?
There's a casual rhythm
As this train moves along
And I swear your breathing
Matches my heart song
And I know I'll never feel the same
Our train moves down the line
And I can't keep my hands away
From your body's sweet gravity
They tousle your hair
And I can smell honeysuckles in the air
So sleep a little longer
While we ride our little train
Too soon, our ride will end
Too soon, too soon
Author notes
Well, I suppose the old man had some good words left in him yet... 
If anyone keeps up, I don't have to many recent pieces, so writing this is really something special to me. I actually got this inspiration after reading a Death Note doujin and named my write after it (kinda honorary, so to speak).

Awww blessed the day that lovers rejoyce, curse the moment we relise our love is not shared. Your poem lingers upon my nasals, it's fumes wafting over my sleepy eyes and i'm seeing your old steam train as it puffs on down the track, we could make it go in circuls, we could make it keep going so you'd never have to part but I can do nothing to keep her sleeping. For that i beg your mercy.
Fabulouse poem, best of luck your train might take you somewhere better...

for as always your voice has given life to thoughts deep and full of zeal. Most prolific and profound in its own right. I applaud you.
