The Night Drinks Us In

The city’s streaming lights are 
                                                 incandescent veins,
                                you and I a runaway fizz of champagne.

                                       From gilded parlor to speakeasy 
                                                      we carom, 
                             giddy bubbles out to carbonate the still night.

                                         And the city is now sparkling,
                                             intoxicating as new love.

Susan Ashley October 5, 2017 at 8:12 PM Ohh a sparkling disco ball of shimmering imagery Bernard! I just love your amazing and shining lines in this write; 'giddy bubbles out to carbonate the still night' - the bliss and whimsy of this line delights me to no end! And the use of the word 'carom' just makes me soo happy. A fantastic write every line! :)) Bernard Chan October 6, 2017 at 12:00 AM Thank you, Susan! You're so kind :)
