    Dreaming of an Evening.



    Dreaming of an Evening

    By Damian Gray


    Night walks in beauty, and talks mutely
    Opening up sweetly to we who aren't sleepy
    As the city lowers her eyelids and slows her breathing
    Winding down the evening, we start dreaming
    The curtains are drawn, the nightlife awakens
    Coming from the gardens and secret places
    We all know each other as if we were neighbours
    Year after year It's always the same faces

    The streets are lying still - everything's silent
    Every where’s open, public and private
    And the noise and excitement, traffic and violence
    Give way to a climate of harmonious vibrance
    The day changes laws and the city centres
    Summers go by, followed by winters
    And flowing with the river or blowing with the weather
    The people of the night carry on together

    At night the conversation runs softly and slowly
    But all sorts of people spend time getting to know me
    Some are socialites, some are just lonely
    All of them are different & they all have different stories
    Night walks in beauty, and talks mutely
    Opening up sweetly to we who aren't sleepy
    As the city lowers her eyelids and slows her breathing
    Winding down the evening, we start dreaming.

    This was a good read. I liked how you ended the same way you started, though it would have gone nicer if the piece was a bit longer. The rhymes weren't anything out of the ordinary, but it kept it simple, making it an easy read.

    I really liked that line, it was a great way to describe night time in a city.

    Keep doin your thing, that was a nice read.
    If you get a chance please RTF on my piece Dear Stranger, its a bit older now, but my hard drive crashed so i haven't got to post my newer shit.
