Waltz of the Red Square

A little something from my trip to Russia, hope you enjoy!

In the Red Square’s allure we collide in the night

And we dance on the ice in the moon’s mellow light

Where our cold breath will wisp through the embers of day

And the pains of our earth softly crumble away.

 

Fireflies illume in the midwinter glow

Whilst a spectrum of jewels ripples across the snow

A meek glow-worm of calm in a city of trouble

A kingdom of tyrants has been reduced to rubble.

 

The metropolitan hum jerks as its arteries clog

Whilst the city is choked by industrial smog

But the music of peace shimmers where the church stands

As I glide on the ice gracing your tender hand.

 

We are watched by this fortress so splendidly old

That has gazed upon histories of bloodshed and cold

A plethora of tales, of ballads and lies

A blood-stained idyll where demons reside.

 

When the details of past have withered from our minds

The aura of the Red Square will humbly survive

When the Tsars fall to shadow in the past's shallow scope

A love blooms at its core as a glimmer of hope.
