Cityscapes 2
Deserted financial centre
Ghost town after dark;
Weekend constellations
~~~~~~~~~
Blank myth created
To express a fond wish;
Merlion antiquity
~~~~~~~~~
Old neighbour nods
Smiles in recognition;
Civilised exchange
~~~~~~~~~
Sing-song Good Morning
Little boy entertains;
Proud parent smiles approval
~~~~~~~~~
New journal pages
Awaiting sanguine soliloquy;
Expansive permutations
~~~~~~~~~
Words on a page
Taut revelations;
Insider trading conspires
~~~~~~~~~
Psalm of morning hues
Sunburst meditation;
Light speed aura
~~~~~~~~~
Evening sitcom moments
Scripted melodrama;
Favourite dinner fare
~~~~~~~~~
Poignant sad story
Tear-jerker streaking away;
Pending reconciliation
~~~~~~~~~
By this desk
Lyrics in verse align;
Exfoliated outbursts
~~~~~~~~~
Uncomfortable stress
Chasing that and this;
Organised unease
~~~~~~~~~
Yesterday retires
Today an offering;
Tomorrow perhaps
~~~~~~~~~
Style a fond smile
Sanguine as usual;
Clash of surprise
~~~~~~~~~
