standing
staring up at
the sculpted metal
the city alive
all around me
with the heavy
pheromone haze
pulsating through
expanded arteries
a city of spectral
lights winking
hypnotic as i
catch a hint
of her
at the edge
of my periphery
unmistakable
as my pulse
quickens

i spin in place
the metal girders
groan above
as the tower twists
along with a fool
trying to catch
more than a
glimpse
as she remains
afantasticphantasm
just out of sight

her smile
illuminatedin
flashes of light
dancing in the clouds
as lightning lashes
the eye of the
rusted needle
piercing the heart
of the storm with
tetanustaintedkisses

as the rain falls
overanabandoned
wasteland of dream
i let the tempest
howlthroughmysoulhollows
a discordant symphony
screamingunrepentant
odestohinderedhopein
heartshatterscattered
acrossheavenlyhells
hidden in her smile
