THE LAST TRAIN

the deserted and isolated platform
the last train passed
before the few seconds
green and red lights as usual
on and off in a graphic way
tracks were breathed to relex
a long and hard work
a different feeling
prevailed in the atmosphere
a blank and steady moments
strange but some one very familiar face
sitting alone with the barren eyes
waiting for the next train
long grey beard
bended backbones
worn out body shattered soul
dirty damaged clothes
sleepless face ---decade long
dark deep circle under the
cracked spectacles
lines and lines with several wrincles
dry and hard  injured lips
forgetton to smile
died or forced to die
destiny has the answer
once beloved, first removed from
the so called sweet home
later detached the memories
as a useless antique piece
since that night a man s endless journey
started---a long killer night, never ends
to get the first morning train
alone he started walking on the tracks
slowly ----the image---disappeared in the horizon
to an unknown destination !
