SNAPSHOTS OF A NIGHT SCENE

The city lights are often burning bright
but who may meet in shadows of the night?
Around the corner lovers locked embrace
or homeless, roaming streets to find a place.
The bustle of the people passing through
some slowly strolling down an avenue
All mysteries of the city nights are shelved
tight secrets all within its borders held.
Somehow, this view left me discovering
That meeting in the dark’s another thing.
