City Lights

Posted on by areadingwriter

As the sun

surrenders

to the moon,

my spirit

embraces

its gloom.

–

As the day

succumbs

to darkness,

my smile

turns

into blankness.

–

As bright

city lights

flickers,

my tired

weary heart

quivers.

–

As humans

fell

asleep,

my spirit

starts to

weep.

–

As the

the stars’re

shining,

my soul’s

slowly

fading.

  2. Aww. 😦 Beautifully sad poem, Rosema. I love your clever play with words and rhymes. And that’s a beautifully sad song from Sara, too.

    Anyway, I’m sending you smiles on a lovely Sunday dear. 🙂 🙂 🙂

    1. Thank you, lovely Maria! This is the poem that was supposed to be published last Friday but I don’t want to make you sad anymore that is why I moved it to Sunday. 🙂 I made this after a tiring draining day, actually. 🙂

      You like listening to Sara, too? ❤

      I am sending you love as Monday starts! ❤❤❤

      1. Oh, this is really beautiful. It reminds me of times that I felt exactly this way.
        I hope we’ll both have a great wee, Rosema. 🙂 And yes, I like listening to Sara too. My favorite is her I Choose You. ❤ ❤ ❤ I want it to play on my wedding. Kiliiiiiiiiiiggggg

      2. Oh really? Me too. This poem is not fictional, because sometimes I get a little bit melancholic as the sun sets.
        But I hope this week will be great! Especially now that Monday is a holiday! 😂

        Yay! I choose you is I think her sweetest song. ❤

      3. Hmm.. we always get to experience days like that. It’s part of life I think. Oh, I’m jealous. I get to work on a holiday. 😦 But excited coz my 10 day vacation is fast approaching! 😀
