City Night

The city that never sleeps
                     Is drenched in moonlight
                            And seems a dim reflection
             Of it's sunlit version
                             Halted behind the doors
                    Leaving a seni-colon on the streets
              That'll run and roar next day
                       City that never wishes upon shooting stars
                             Cannot touch through eyes
                 Magical glow of fireflies
                        That drips as yellow lights of lamp posts
                    On dull window panes
                              Where the moon sighs in boredom
                        For distant lovers no longer need him
               To send messages to one another
                            In the forest of concrete
          A city that breathes ambitions
                 Handful of time it never has 
          To see whom they have left behind
                      Paint brush in night city's hand
           Spattering dim shades all over
