Best City Of Light Poems


City of Light
This beautiful breathtaking city is not near the sea
It is in the sea
Like Venice it has sublime majesty
With water channels stretching for infinity

But with one difference while in Venice people travel by boat
The one used to sail across river, sea or a moat
People of this...

In the City of Light, a new flame ignites
Olympic fire burns, burning bright nights
Paris springs to life, life in full swing
As champions spring forth, forth they spring

The Seine flows with dreams, dreams flow fast
Flowing with athletes from present and past
They run for gold, gold standard...

Premium Member Lights In the City
The lights in the city at night are warm and inviting
Harboring seasonal influence through the core of its being
They swarm with a great brilliance of an orange and red glow

In the City
Mountains in outside world, rivers in Utopia
Rivers are delusion, Mountains are mirage
Light tides with sound waves are never end
Lights splendid, but the stars dim

A girl fell down with a screaming on the road 
Only few strangers threw a cold attention 
All souls are asking for...

In the Country
In the country where I live 
The country side is pretty 
I lived in the city all my life 
In the city to much strife 
I live next to a farm now 
There are goats,horses,and cows 
The flowers and trees 
Sway in the breeze 
The...

Regimented Line
They came together as a parade
In single line a formation
Regimented, and so they stayed
With reclined heads
And glimmering helmets
Their eyes cast upon the ground
At the funeral of the road
Their hope and courage
Shone in the face of adversity
As the first glimmer of dawn
Crept up between the teeth...

Pillowtalk
Did you know that this house 
breathes in the man-made lights,
so our walls can exhale colors?
Tonight, this town is going to burn in neon blaze again, 
for the sake of light-pollution, love. 
Yet this time, light means our corrupted souls.
You know, some may say that
there's...

Red Neon Torii Gate
Is there a place for us
Lonely souls
In this big, glowing city?
How ironic
To feel solitarily
In a city of fourteen million
Been slinking in the shadows
For a while now
The light can be burning
Frightening
The shadows can be reassuring
Rapid
Train headache
The view from the windows
Street lights
Feeling warmth from
Only strangers
The red neon...

Teufelsberg
Under the sour light
of the summer moon, when the
asphalt maze exhales

heatness we come and
ensemble at Teufelsberg
just to pile up the 

broken and rusty 
pieces of our outcasted 
heart, hoping that if 

we exchange them like 
puzzles of the autumn we 
will able to build new...

Paper Lanterns
paper lanterns afloat
in a crowded, narrow street
true urban beauty

Premium Member Distant City Lights
Distant city nights,
Those faraway lights,
On the eastern border;
Colored lights quarter.

There should be hubbub,
And people club to club;
Dancing nights of August,
Music mellow and robust!

To that far, dreamy place,
With life's quicker pace,
Excitement is now calling,
And my heart is falling!

Those far neon lights burn,
As some observe and yearn;
Glowing...

Walking along, cold and early, 
under a full, white-lamp moon;
footsteps guided by moonlight
of the Sun that'll be up soon......

City Pulse
Glass towers stretch like ambitions
piercing smog-filtered dreams.
Footsteps echo on concrete—
rhythms of lives
weaving, colliding, dissolving.
A stranger’s glance,
a child’s laugh slicing through engine growls,
a pigeon’s wingbeat overhead—
somehow it all matters.
The city breathes
and we inhale chaos like oxygen....
