Love Poem: Heart of the City

Heart of the City

In a thousand city 
rooms 
    lovers caress each 
other 
   On the streets 
auto lights are reflected 
in pools of rainwater 
Trucks hurtle by 
   carrying needed goods 
to businesses 
Policeman gaze 
  at the city scene 
with wary eyes 
   As the rainfall ends 
pedestrians close their 
   umbrellas 
A young woman walks down 
   a crowded avenue 
turning heads with her pretty 
   face and fine figure 
Skyscrapers rise up 
   and challenge the sky 
City of a million dreams! 
Don't forsake your inhabitants!
Let them live between your towers, 
    find peace in city streets 
and even taste urban love in the 
   heart of the metropolis!
