Cityscape

Fly buzzes around the

sweet coffee cup….

concrete steps hurry by

and vendors they call you

for a meal in between,

you collide to  catch the sky

By the pastures of their pain and passion

speeds the train inside your brain

And you lift up your eyes to the

hoarding lights

and see them drop as rain..

The city wind cuts through the skyscrapers,

drying your tears so fast…

smiles they fade in lost romance

and cars go honking  past..

when you lean by the lamppost

to light a cigarette

and scream your smoke out loud

the smart phone beeps

with techno beats

and reminds the void around…

Run over

like the homeless cat,

limps your dream

through the mid-night streets,

floats your loneliness

over the hard liquor  ice

the jazz band makes it bright…

peak into the rat hole

at the end of the day

some useless mails

and stale breads stay…

your lover smells

In old blankets

And his gifted doll

Tries escape….

You wake up

In the dark with cold wild sweat

To realize

You are another dot

in the honey comb of your cityscape……
