Another evening with her

She shines through my unpolished gait,

As I strive to grow closer to her.

High above the neon streams,

And the smugness of skyscrapers,

Surrounded by puffs of wayward clouds,

She shines on;

Splashing her silvery spell,

On these sleepy grounds.

I turn to walk away,

Forlorn and helpless,

But down she settles now;

A patch of white tousled by ripples of blue.

I hold her in my palms,

And see my smile in her eyes,

A sneaky twinkle that just fades away

She deceives me again.
