As I walk

I glance at the faces

I pass by.

The neon street lights are

Blinding.

I begin to stare at the complex

Designs of the buildings

In admiration.

I hear the buzz of businesses

selling goods.

People are bargaining

For lower prices

And

Merchants are not budging.

My hand greets a silky, almost soft plant.

I feel the leaves twitch as

I touch their veins.

The smell of

Fresh pastrie...

A hand on my arm,

Something brushed my side.

There’s something

Too bright

In the sky and my eyes.

The red on the crosswalk

The greeen on the traffic lights

And a wall of people

Pressing

And pushing

On all sides

Click click

Goes the signal

Barring my way

There are rocks in my shoes

Matching black asphalt

And a too loud

Performer

With ten cents in a bag

Click click

Goes the signal

Barring m...

Dark skies look down upon

The city, so bright and loud.

People talk, unaware

Of who stands among

The overwhelming, busy crowd.

I stare at stars, scared

Of manmade lights.

Wishing I could be up there

Instead of down here....

The cold air slapped my face as I shut the hotel door behind me. I wanted to take a late night walk to explore the city. Going down the wonky concrete stairs I made a right turn using city lights as my navigational stars.

As I made my way through the food market the fragrant aroma of the stalls filled my nose with spices! As first it was so strong I coughed a few times but once I acclimated I wa...

The wind blows in my face as I look around…

I can hear tree branches creak and rustle

The echos and howls of the creatures in the night

There is no traffic in sight

I can’t see what’s in front of me, not my hands nor my feet…the fog makes it seem like there is no road or sidewalk or…anything

Where am I? I start to think.

What could I use to protect me?

How did I end up here?

My feet are shaky a...

I know not where I wander.

Though, I can’t help but wonder

If whatever called me, mysteriously

Is also leading me to my destiny.

People tend to call me optimistic,

Overly, specifically, that is,

I don’t disagree. I see opportunity

With every step, everything I see.

I wonder what these people who pass

Surrounding my left, right, and fourth wall glass

Would think about my journey here,

My destinat...

Lights glare in a noir sector of a foreign town

Dark thoughts intrude as the atmosphere surrounds

No map no sense of direction yet the path is clear

Motion blur with a destination unfound

In my skin but out my mind

On the clock but out of time

In the wind while I unwind

Around the block and so benign

Sublime internalizing my exterior

Surreal yet out of control but not inferior

Imperial dreams luci...

As I walk down the busy street

I look around the chaotic city

Lights surround me so beautifully

Green lights send cars speeding by me

I stop and look at the people carefully

Each one has a different story

I don’t stay long I must hurry

Must get home safely

So tomorrow I can see the busy city...

In absence of the sun

Where only streetlights glow

Your feet feel smaller here

The world begins to grow

You are but a tiny speck

In a monstrous cosmos

You can feel it as you move

Through the sludge of dirty snow

Skyscrapers tower over

Your shadow is so tiny

In the clock-tower’s watchful eye

Its midnight ticking a re...
