Poem
This poem is featured on YouTube (The Convergence point with Dr. Ivan Edwards), bringing its words to life through spoken expression. A gas station on the edge of the city, Neon lights buzzing in the night, graffiti scrawled across walls, the hum of distant traffic our backdrop. The place was nothing special, oil-stained concrete and flickering signs. But love has a way of making the ordinary extraordinary. We stopped for gas, or maybe an excuse to pause the drive. And as music spilled from the car radio, we couldn’t resist. We stepped out into the urban glow, sneakers scuffing against the asphalt. And right there, between pumps and parked cars, we danced. Love found its stage, transforming the ordinary into a dreamscape. And as the world blurred, we held each other close. Cheek to cheek, we swayed— slow and deliberate. Every movement a silent promise, every touch a spark. The scent of gasoline mingled with our breath. Yet all we could feel was the warmth of passion. Our fingers clasped tightly, as if letting go might undo the magic. Bodies melting into one rhythm, hearts beating in perfect harmony. The city paused to watch— the hum of traffic faded into the distance. Strangers gathered, drawn to our orbit. Teens paused, their phones forgotten, a crowd gathering, their faces lit by the glow of LED streetlights. Skateboarders froze mid-trick, delivery bikes slowed to a stop. Even the gas station clerk leaned out to catch the scene. Above us, stars dimmed their light, yielding to the glow between us. Angels paused in flight, holding their breath for love’s quiet power. While skyscrapers and streetlights formed a shimmering backdrop to the dance that turned grit into gold. We danced slow, as though time was ours to command, swaying to melodies etched deep into our souls. Cheek to cheek, hands entwined, we stood unshaken, unstoppable— A fleeting moment made eternal by the strength of our love. The gas station, no longer mundane, became sacred ground. Marked forever by the dance of two lovers— slow, deliberate, deeply in love, turning the night into poetry. The city kept watching as the song we danced to came to a close. Above, skyscrapers stood like silent giants, and streetlamps flickered in rhythm with the beat. The stars fought to shine through the haze of city lights. But their brilliance bowed To the raw energy of our moment. We danced like we owned the night, like nothing else mattered. No smog, no sirens, no chaos, Just the music and us. Love erupted like a beat drop, electric, unfiltered, unstoppable, turning a gas station into a stage, The urban jungle into our temple. The crowd cheered as the melody faded, And we stood breathless, hand in hand, forever imprinted in the city’s memory. Two lovers who danced at the gas station, turning grit into gold And the mundane into magic.
