The City of You

Raining today heady with the scent of early spring
My effort mingles with the embrace
Of your rain

Soaking thru' me
Cleansing.

Dark streets and a city of
Scattered lights, as I step into you
Pooling around me
Soaking me from below and
Above.

I look up, my breathing heavy in the night
Your tears fill my eyes
My tears fall into the pools
Of you.

I feel the City as I feel you
Around me and inside me
Somewhere that is so familiar but
A long way from Home.
