Passion and City Lights

Inspired by something a friend said, and also tried out something a little Ellen hopkins esk. =) I like it.

I’m on a one way street

Walking down alleyways at night

In the middle of a City

Surrounded by smelted chrome and dirty heat

Eating carcinogens as the days wash past

Like faded water color lines

 

                                Blurry

I’m melting

With my eyes turned to the blotted stars

Poisoned by the insidious city lights

And the smoke that reverberated off the pavement

He held open a door

 

                                Hands

On my heart

He has whisked me away in the impossibility

Of Cloud 9

Asking me

                                Have

 

You looked at me the way heaven looks at an angel?

Have you taught me all you can teach?

Have you showed me all the nooks and crannies of your mind?

Do you Love Me?

Or is it just something

 

                                Promised

 

Did you remember to give me wings when you tried to give me

Chivalry.

Tried so hard

To tell

 

Me

 

If it was that easy

It wouldn’t make a good love story.

Now would it?

You know the truth

That in order

 

                                To

 

Prove that love is worth it

You have to lay your jacket across mud puddles

Cross 600 miles of mountains

And fly the ocean

Just for me

And

                                You

So many people call me Home. 

But you're the only one that matters

Author's Note

everything here is intentional. =) Oh look for the hidden sentence. ;)

That was awesome! I liked how your subheadings were the wrds that completed or started the next sentence and were the subject of the next paragraph...

I found the hidden sentence! I won't spoil it though...
Its interesting that you used short and long sentences in an extreme way....i havent done it as rxtreme as that before....

=) Oh yay ^^ Yes I like how this poem came out. I think it is a pretty good one. As it should be since it's the first entrance in my book for my English class this year.
