City Streets

The city may sleep, but my thoughts of you never will

 

City Streets

By Jack Ivey

 

The city sleeps, yet still I walk

Reflections of your smile

Do follow me like shadows dark

In silhouettes of life

 

A’ weave, the blend of endless time

Abound in treasured throws

Lost moments found of images

My mind has come to know

 

These patterns of an open sky

In dance within my pace

Bring to my heart a tempo’d dream

Of love I can’t replace

 

Along a misty avenue

The street lights lend their glare

Soft puddles formed of capture tears

A chill does come the air

 

This sidewalk bears my leathered steps

To places I have roamed

For in my world there’s nothing less

Than all that I have known

 

Beyond this waking moment seen

In silence it shall ring

A melody of tested truth

Your voice to me does bring

 

Oh but a touch to quell my soul

A gentle calling kiss

Shall carry me this darkened stroll

And lead me from the mist

 

As I have seen so many things

Of multiple supply

In windows stained of long ago

Reflections ask me why

 

Though somewhere in the distance

Astride these buildings tall

I hear the echoes of your heart

To me forever call

 

On pavement damp and darkened

Yet there a light I see

The beacon of your beauty

Is reaching out for me

 

I run with all abandon

A blur descends my eyes

In reckless drawn of fashion

I wipe the tears I’ve cried

 

For I can see the sunrise

Neath foggy skies above

These city streets once desolate

Now filled with your sweet love
