Have We Met ?

Shimmers and Glimmers

hidden pathways

glowing from afar

as I step into the night

the path I follow 

to where I do not know

but then

does it really matter

as long as it leads 

to somewhere I belong

echoes amore

as I drift on by

lazy people

to drunk to merry

to go on home

lovers entwined

hand in hand

sharing nay stealing

the night fantastic

street lights aglow

as if spot lights

upon each stone

an

as I step over them so

into the dark they fade

cats glare from the gloom

their eyes a green

like emerald flames

cautious of my presence

as if I'm stealing there time

a dog runs on by

barking at the dark

I do not see what it is

but hes gone non the less

water laps from the river

and I hear upon my senses

the cold damp smell

of water running flowing

past the people that sleep so

hustle and bustle of the day

now gone

all locked up

the only reminders

wrappers and boxes

upon the pavement

of a days sales

be it fruit be it vegetables

the creatures own the night

and I feel like I am but a invader

do they trust me

for I know they see me 

my eyes not like theirs

able to see in and beyond

the murky depths

birds nest upon the trees

no sonnets heard

but the rustle of leaves

as the breeze blows on by

taxis slowly drive on

hoping for a straggler

on their way home

but not me

I wave them on

a walk I'm taking

and the walk I will walk

breathing in the air

embracing the night

just to see

how different it is

scary yet friendly

no friend 

no foe

only strangers

out walking

on a moonlit night
