Dubai Nights

Dubai nights - 4.11.18

The lights glow over the horizon
in a technicolour display of sparkles; a fairyland.
An invitation to enter the city, reminds me home,
The Arts Centre and the Westgate Bridge at night time
with its twinkling Melbourne City below. 

Its dark, yet the lights play their part across the roof tops.
The pool an iridescent blue - lit up as the children play.
Bright blue against the stark white walls, reminds of a Greek landscape
reflecting and shimmering, dancing like a cascading water feature
refracting the light across the background

Umbrellas poised and folded,
sentries to the night as the nights moon bathers recline
lovers come to swoon in balcony corners, 
shadowy and camouflaged by the shifting lights, 
an intimacy shaded - a space for all.
