Catwalk In the Dark

I do not hear the sound of evening rumors 
nor watch the smoky breath of patrons lore  
the pavement hugs my feet and I let go 
back to the  dusk like a desolate cat ;

The river is a gent in motion to and fro 
lifting off the veil the green eyes glow   
No need to look behind ...I walk 
                    with      
the essence of soft shadows
                     right behind...  

I do not hear the sound of evening rumors 
nor watch the smoky breath of patrons lore 
the pavement hugs my feet and I let go 
its a catwalk in the dark, a desolate cat.

Loneliness is the pits, Pixie. Such a sad write. Cheer up, the sun is shining and the sky is baby blue.

I like the "sound of evening rumors" because this is telling. "I walk with the essence of soft shadows right behind." Very poetic, you are such a wonderful poet, Pixie!
