No one else exists

Happy New Year

A crowded city street

strolling a narrow sidewalk,

your hand in mine

Pastel neon lights paint the buildings

in soothing colors,

softening sharp edges,

creating a wonderland

on this cool winter night

 

A small bistro, street side tables

candlelight and tablecloths

tiny dancing flames on white linen

igniting your smile as we take a seat

amidst the din of taxi cabs

racing to find the sunset,

lover’s fare put to good use

in backseat desires

 

Two glasses of Cabernet,

fine crystal offerings

as are your eyes, glistening,

dark chocolate petals

calling me in, hypnotized

free falling into your heart 

and I drink them in slowly,

tasting every tantalizing gaze

 

A toast to us, touching glasses,

touching hearts, changing lives

as I wonder what I have done

to deserve this dream, you and me,

no one else exists, the city bustles

unnoticed as we sip the fruits

of our love on a chilly evening

hoping it never ends…

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

…and as the clock strikes midnight,

a joyous noise rings out, streamers flutter in the wind

while fireworks dazzle the skies

and I raise my glass to my friends at Writer’s Cafe,

wishing them all the happiest New Year!
