The morning wakes abuzz
People rushing into routine busyness
Grabbing coffee cups in suits and smartness
Bursting with hours of moneymaking business
The city groans with horns and chattering
The day is long and never relenting
Like bees or drones we never seem to stop
Till a sigh signals on the clock
Finally the sun dims slowly
The city lights up in a smoky vision
The buzzing slows as the night draws adjacent
The city slumbers behind the veil of blinking colors
Enticing with the softest quiet voices
Beneath the stillness are many reflections
Drunkenness and neon in perfect collaboration
Drunk in its mysterious beauty
I fell in love with the city
If it is at all a possibility
Though the day is overbearing insanity
But the night is overwhelming emotionally
Myriad of feelings mixed into confusion
So addictive are those neon
If the city is a glass of wine
Let me drown in it
While the night lasts
A bittersweet fruit the world has casts
