Lost Under City Lights

New York at Night, Vivienne Gucwa

When the day is said and done
I look around and you are gone
state of fear beaming headlights
walking dark city streets

chill fills the air, as I remember
two lovers lost in a dream world
sitting together warm park bench
walking hand n' hand , cobblestone

Under city street lights, I wander
alone lost in magical memories
wondering, how do I break this spell
where  thoughts of you dwell

posted for the Mag 201 
My muse saw loneliness in the picture
perhaps, a ghost had a story to tell

sharing with Poets United

    and yet know that you wont...not until
    you see them again...or another captures
    those dreams...smiles.

    Being alone in this environment - the loneliness and fear does come through. Well done.

    Stuck alone
    After the dream hits the tone
    Wake up to reality lost
    Need to find the other at all cost

      Hi Grace,

      The city can be a place of loneliness at night...

    To be stuck in past memories is something I am familiar with.. to place them in their proper perspective is not an easy thing to do...your poem really struck this note...

    Truedessa, this was powerful. I think we've all (I know I have) been lost in that place of memory...and the inevitable fall when reality kicks back in. I loved this piece!

    To see others in love is when loneliness feels the worst... somehow I got the feeling of "when all is said and done" by Abba... and I mean that as a praise..

    Like feeling lonely in a crowd. When you're lonely you're always alone no matter the environment. But the old haunts are the worst and the best too.

    wondering, how do I break this spell where thoughts of you dwell" struck a chord with me. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
