The silhouettes of window panes
beckons the neon street lights,
The cacophony of noises outside
takes me back a long time
My city looks old today, etched …
in the annals of memories scatted.
Two men walking down warily
two men follow them wearily,
I look at the crowd behind the bar
congregating the shadows surround,
My city remembers me fondly ….
in the annals of weathered mortality.
The rains and thunder mapping galleries
hovering winds playing facetiously,
The lighthouse of the Peak distantly looks on
over my neighbourhood lying discordant,
My city enraptured in overwhelming ecstasy
in the annals of countless unfulfilled fantasy.
Bidding me farewell in the ostensive night
remembers me for my unforgettable romance,
Looks on through those fashion laden stores
walks on those innovated modern roads,
My city awaits dawn beyond the shadow of stars
in the annals of joy, culminating boulevard sapphire.

WoW...I could just feel walking in the curved roads of the hills with a chill and heavy mist in the air, with a jumper and a cap on and small bulb lights hanging from the small wooden houses in the slopes. Alok, you have just made me revisit my stay in the hills some years back...Your words are simply eloquent and beautiful to say the least...really mesmerizing poetry!
