Gutter Stream Paradise


Against the high rise

in the shadows of the underbelly

in the alleyways, of this once great city

living the high life

in this downtrodden gutter stream paradise

 

On the dark nights

in the lights of shop signs 

and windows dressed in luminescent shine

like satin silk sheets of moonlight

caressing the curves of the city until sunrise

 

In the cold air

a snapshot of a city in motion

against a painting of perfection

the bustle and commotion

like the roar of waves crashing 

on an excited ocean

 

Down escalators

electric light caverns

recycled smoky air

tastes rancid

am I supposed to be entranced?

by the way the shadows dance

and advertising hoardings blare

 

As the sun rises

on the strengthened glass

and the steel towers

the glisten of light showers

on pathways and pavements,

against bricked up, board covered windows, alone

storefronts, broken fragments of old bottles thrown

in this city street, where hurt is rife

living the high life

in this downtrodden gutter stream paradise

 

 

Thanks For Reading,

Peace & love.

Kyle.
