City Of Light Poems - Poems about City Of Light

Premium Member On the narrow streets of the city where light barely sneaks in
On the narrow streets of the city where light barely sneaks in, The best people meet their end beneath a forgotten sheet of paper, While the worst rise in bronze, statues for ages of oblivion, Stone pilgrims on which pigeons leave their mark unabashedly. In this theater of life, where values are overturned on the empty stage, Unknown heroes disappear...

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....

Glass Cities
We live in glass cities, fragile as the truths we whisper behind closed doors. The streets hum with neon sighs, faces reflecting off windows, never quite meeting. At night, the skyscrapers lean in close, as if to confess something they can’t say aloud. I walk, barefoot on cold concrete, hoping for a crack to let the stars slip through....

Premium Member City of Light, Games of Fire
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 set Running the banks where the sun has set Towers of strength...

Lift Me Up
Take me to where the wildflowers grow and show me where to go, take me to where the wildflowers grow and wet my soul with the dew of the morning, wake up my spirit at noon and drench me with the moisture from the east and fill my lungs with succulents' juice from the west...

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 colors of the night, Under the silvery moonlight....

Numb
Our breath falling short I look up to the cloudless, starry sky The tiles are lit Glowing white The city never sleeps The lights glittering like stars Our heads were held high Not wanting to miss a thing Burning the music into our memory The rays of rainbow flowing Zooming in and out Felt so close yet so distant The branches were sparkling In the winds through The towers The...

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 torii gate Opens the door From the mundane world To the sacred Our home Of...

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 no place for the true firmament of stars now, not even...

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 a holiday But, the flowers are too tired to welcome We...

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 ones....

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 city use huge Victoria lily to keep them afloat People sit...
