Frozen nose and palms,
I watch the city lighting up,
As its people close their eyes
To sleep.
To the slow music I smile in rhythm,
As it begins to rain.
Now the road gets glossy
Reflecting street lights,
Lights of vehicles passing by.
Those little lights I shan’t forget,
That from far twinkle,
Deceiving me like stars come down to earth,
Like fireflies,
Each taking turns and colours.
Drops of rain I catch,
Not to save but to celebrate,
The moment of serenity,
In a city that’s frosting me,
Yet melting my heart out of love,
Out of ecstasy.
This night seems long,
So are my feelings — longing for
More arresting nights like this.
Just me and this winsome city,
The rain and the lulling breeze,
That I wish to remain seized in.
It’s a city that holds too much,
That’s giving me life,
That’s overwhelming me tonight,
In its most sublime form.
