[bodytext] => Torrential rains had filled the streets Water flowed as a raging river Drops in your eyes had blurred your vision Carnivorous winds bite and make you shiver Once that had all subsided And began the dissipation of the shroud Ambient light began to overtake As the howling moon broke through the clouds As you picked up your somnolent head Realizing you were the only one awake Breathstealing beauty previously unforseen As you rub your eyes to give a second take Hours since the sun had fallen in the west Revealing the simple beauty Of a city at rest Wide-eyed to the night sky painted mood A metropolis fades From bustling to solitude Streetlights like patterns in the stars Illumined roads as trails in the sky Skyscrapers stand majestic as mountains An untethered soul to release an eternal sigh Walking on a living canvas in stasis Nearly possessed by the influence it wields Even the simplicity of a sidewalk or park Can be as lush as the Elysian Fields A cycling beauty with which you are obsessed A still life portrait Crafted in your unrest A two-faced work of art spread before weary eyes Only in conscious sleepwalk Until the next sunrise Playgrounds are completely devoid But still you hear children laugh and play The streets seem lonely without passing cars As your mind wanders so very far away There's serenity in the lifelessness A certain kind of intangible peace An industrialized beast of countless parts Incredible to watch it's many actions cease So the sun will rise, it's revival will completely kill But just like the Earth will turn, once again the city will be still [comments] => 3 [counter] => 171 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Vitreous_Soul [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
