Night Springs To Life

A winter's evening darkly glows
  Midst freshly fallen flakes of snow
Cityscapes sparkle, and glisten
  Music's everywhere, just listen

Night springs to life, traffic snarls and darts
  As horse-drawn carriages, white stallions smart
and dapper trot briskly by on moonlit stones
  While nearby tides rush in on thrones

Just then it is my thoughts set sail
  O'er waves of delicate, deep desires
     Passion's vessels lifted higher...

The horse-drawn carriages threw me at first, thought you had gone back in time! But Chicago does have them still, right? Overall, enchanting poetry!

Appreciated, Michelle! … And yes, Chicago does have those horse-drawn carriages, trotting proudly along Michigan Avenue's Magnificent Mile. They're remarkable. :) gw
