City Poems

Part One

The unknown mystery of the night

Every street a page

A waiting discovery

Every corner like the next page

Begging to be seen

 

The streets seem disconnected

Not like the day with its welcoming light

But a dark river of sin and madness

Calm yet unpredictable

 

What connects this city’s madness?

The dim lights, the alleys, the sin?

We all know the city’s addictive toxic

Could it be the people within?

 

Part Two

Towering alleys swoop over the city

The good men and sinners below

The moonlight cats demonic shadows

On the city’s proudest buildings

 

The devil’s hour approaches

Anticipation from each window

Only those without a care in the world

Would be seen at this hour

 

There is never silence within the chaos

Each passing hour offers more.

Deep within the heart of the city

Is where the sin is almost pure

 

 

Part Three

Darkness swallows the city

The streets are dimly lit

By only a couple of shining lamps

 

In-between the light there is pure darkness

The darkness evokes mystery, excitement

But sin and murder

 

Spiralling streets descend into madness

Madness unfolds into the night

The people and places create wonderful disasters

Embedded into our history.
