City the Stroke of Twelve
Midnight strikes like a chord across the skyline,
City brehes in bes of neon and the moons shine.
Skyscrapers stand as sentinels in the sleepless watch,
While shadows dance in the alleys with a whiskey scotch.
Streetlights flicker, a semaphore in the simmering dark,
Each pulse a painting on the canvas of the urban park.
Taxis trail tales through the tarmac veins,
In the heart of the city, where the night never wanes.
Midnight in the city, where dreams walk the streets,
Among the drifters and the wchers and the hearts discreet.
A symphony played on pavement, a rhythm ridden deep,
Where secrets are kept in the company we keep.
The buzz of the bars, a babel building to the brim,
Laughter leaking into the night, a serendipitous hymn.
Lovers lean into the lure of the citys lustful call,
Hands held, hearts open, in the rise and fall.
Sidewalks sing under soles of stories old and new,
A mural made in motion, in shades of gray and blue.
The air, a mixture of mist and the metros breath,
Where moments are captured in the life and death.
Midnight in the city, where dreams walk the streets,
Among the drifters and the wchers and the hearts discreet.
A symphony played on pavement, a rhythm ridden deep,
Where secrets are kept in the company we keep.
Eyes meet in the mystery of the transient twilight,
Exchanging silent soliloquies in the fleeting flight.
Coffee shops corner the market of the midnight oil,
Fuel for the thinkers in their nocturnal toil.
As the clock hands clinch closer to the crux of new,
The city’s soul stirs, sketching scenes in the dew.
Midnights mantle, wrapped in the urban sprawl,
Under the stars that witness, whisper, and enthrall.
Midnight in the city, where dreams walk the streets,
Among the drifters and the wchers and the hearts discreet.
A symphony played on pavement, a rhythm ridden deep,
Where secrets are kept in the company we keep.
So wander the walkways where whispers weave,
In the cradle of concrete, where we believe
that every second is a story, and every minute a frame,
In the city midnight, where nothing stays the same.
