Russell Sivey Poet Quatern

Lights In the City

The lights are on all throughout the city
The vast amount of light exists around
The fainting love spell, such divinity
A long enhanced greatness so abound

Pieces of delight are within each scene
The lights are on all throughout the city
Cars express their glory, by lights they’re seen
And each home brings about light pleasantly

Passion floats within the air completely
There are immense delights while just roaming
The lights are on all throughout the city
Enlightenment shown by all approaching 

Like a swinging light switch in a warm room
Baring the basics of necessity
Misty eyed people approach without doom
The lights are on all throughout the city

Russell Sivey

Tim Ryerson February 18, 2014 at 2:51 AM 'Cars express their glory'...Wow Russel, what a description and the whole poem perfectly describes the exitement of a big city at night. I drive through Atlanta often and I always get a big thrill out of it, especially when I pass the airport and see those monster jets flying in to land...Good stuff here my friend - Tim
