City Evenings
skyscrapers
stand tall
in the heart
of the metropolis
Only a hint
of rain tonight
Clouds block the stars
Yet one or two
still shine through
City dwellers
sip tea
and watch the
passing parade
from their windows
One by one
they slowly tire
and fall asleep
A flickering screen
in each apartment
Another city evening passes
Out of the
millions living
here
Is there one
for you?
Is there a
heart which
contains room
for a friend or
lover?
Surely, the
city will answer
your call
Eyes that have
seen winter turn
to spring - turn to
summer
Now close for
a night
Tomorrow will be
another search
for love
there is
our city
gleaming at
night - like a strand of pearls
around the neck
of an urban queen
