nightlife

10/2011

We swirl among the blinking lights.

Moving as one, feeding off one another.

Dancing like stars on a cloudy night.

The beat pushes the smoky haze

that has gathered above us. Our

shattered hearts mend from relief.

Moving for the refreshing change

from the daily hassle and the pain

that holds us stagnate. 

Tears stream down the faces of

the hopeful while we that know

better settle for lustful dry eyes.

Our energies entwine, empowering

us into euphoria. We may have fallen

but never will we be forgotten.

Very well written! Not going by the title of the poem, I think it stands for all kind of activities that we delve into to cut ourselves out from the daily monotone. The people we meet in course, range from being overemotional to emotionally dried up(as per the second last stanza) and relationships here can be forgotten as soon as they are formed. This is my interpretation of course. But the poem is nicely composed. I like the last stanza specially! Very subtle.. :)

There are some kinds of music that make me feel more in touch with who I am than any other times, but there are times when I recognise your poem all too well. Great write.

Sometime we need music and dance to allow us to escape from the real world. I like the movement and the strong ending to a excellent poem.

the colorful images are alluring, The poem is kind of like a group hug the fourth stanza leads one to think a group hug for the ones without hope. Many are like that, good write.
