Best Urbansun Poems


Urban Vision

Under the blazing sun 
the dwellers in the asphalt 
    homeland 
  swelter and head home 
to cool down 
  The few clouds in the sky 
    promise no rain
The urban masses reach for peace
Taste summer in their very bones
The old and the young 
    yearn for relief 
Late afternoon morphs 
   into memory 
  Auto lights turn on , streetlights 
cut through shadow 
  with a thousand splinters of light 
Eyes peer out from a thousand 
  rooms
As the blazing sun is
   replace by a full moon
  lovers embrace 
weary workers head out for 
   cold beer 
A thousand times a thousand sighs
    can be heard
The urban masses have their 
   own hopes 
Fufillment may come later 
   before the cycle of 
night and day 
  is completed once more
