Heart of the City

In a thousand city rooms lovers caress each other On the streets auto lights are reflected in pools of rainwater Trucks hurtle by carrying needed goods to businesses Policeman gaze at the city scene with wary eyes As the rainfall ends pedestrians close their umbrellas A young woman walks down a crowded avenue turning heads with her pretty face and fine figure Skyscrapers rise up and challenge the sky City of a million dreams! Don't forsake your inhabitants! Let them live between your towers, find peace in city streets and even taste urban love in the heart of the metropolis!

Those big cities do seem to have a hidden heartbeat and a pulse all their own.... You described the scene so vividly, and I felt like I was right in the middle of it. I really enjoyed this wonderful poem, Matthew! Nice work!
