City Streets Category: Writing and Poetry City streets late at night The trolly leaves and sheds her light Steam rose up from reflecting pools of shimmering light Two hearts beat as one and love was born in late twightlight Modern art and lazy sofas Sumatran coffee and and penny loafers She stood near my side, I was proud My heart was beating fast and loud She was mine on this starry night Years of lonliness healed at her sight She squatted down to take a pea A car drove by, guys shouted with glee I walked her home and gave her a kiss I never knew I could feel like this A time that helped define my life Gave me character, helped me forget my strife We walked together on this road for a few more weeks Splashing in puddles and dispelling our demons We grinded through the night Lovers entwined in languid flight We swam through ecstasy clouds purple and pink When not by her side, of her I would think A friend consoled Advised rejoining my fold Made a snap decision To leave this beautiful vision Gabriella was her name I look around for her now and then My heart will never be the same Without my Russian beauty from San Jose And her lovely golden mane
