My City

Umbrellas floating amongst the atmosphere -
Like splashes of colour to
Soak up the rain - scatter themselves
Through trees and people: Red, Yellow, Blue
and Green. Splashes of fall and colours
Rise, the constant buzzing and bright noises.
Blazing sounds with rhythmic gestures
Passion soaring through electric bodies,
Rising and rising - crescendos of heartbeats,
Consistent, warmness, blurry feelings
A fugue of stories and a cacophony of
Heartfelt gestures. Lullabies fill the streets
of Pain, of Drink, of the student masses.
The city of my choice, she takes me
in her hand: we skip along the sidewalks
And we dance hands together amongst
Stars.

Let me shout out across the mountains
And seas with their waves crashing down
Ceaselessly and never ending, as you
smother my shouts and cover my mouth.

Let me sing to the moon as the stars dance
and cease my tears, as the music rises
To the heights of Olympus and the
harmonies sink to the bottom of the ocean.

Let me drown out the noise of the
Passers by, the wild nights and the
Nightmares, and the silence will
Float throughout your very bones.

Let me dance across the rivers
That flow through the valleys
Of silent streams and sailing hearts
That beat on against the current.
