Amsterdam at Sunrise

[The Wanderer]

"Amsterdam at Sunrise"

last night of you
make the night trip...
over her velvet skies
suppress and discolor me
redish - pink - purple hue
no lines of conformity
smears and blots over the horizon
mix the night's discontent
with her red-light district
paradise lost virtue
dawn inside the night's bloodshot eyes
bled with hatred of messiahs
only thing free - words of advice
spewed from tongue, foreign as the rising sun
she swallowed the darkness long ago...
stains drip from her teeth
and soak up the streets
as you are lost in her fading sunrise
blury clouds, swollen cheeks
trickle with tears
it always rains in Amsterdam...

she lost her sun
in the broken night
angels under the empty sky
falling like darkness

thanks matey

wow, it was beautiful. A city personified so well and Ive never even been there. I can sense so much of 'her'

"stains drip from her teeth
and soak up the streets
as you are lost in her fading sunrise"

I love that, thanks.
