Skyscrapers

I love big cities. And I love love. Hence, this poem.

Newsprint promises

Silver in the streets

Diamonds in your eyes

And stilettos on my feet

Let's hit the city

And paint the town red

Let's dance 'til midnight

And forget to go to bed

The horizon will shimmer

And the sun will peek down

At you and I

In this big, complex town

And though it's so bright

And so high above

It will still be blinded

By the luminescence of our love

Because I am the match

And you are the candle

We're bright and beautiful

And too hot to handle

We'll walk down the street

Completely complete

With diamonds in your eyes

And stilettos on my feet.
