calm summer evenings in the city

[bicyclingfish]

calm summer evenings in the city

trestles caress my sides
I stagger, but still hold your weight
as you cross my span
will I feel relief from this tension when you leave?
or is it the coming that I crave?

now I stand tall
my glass veneer shimmering
ride to the top, and down again
throughout the day
my vein pulses

I shutter from your crash
you splash inside of me
up and over the whitecaps for you
I will turn you over
and you can ride me again

grasp onto my arms
as I reach to the skies
climb me
play in my leaves
if you fall, I?ll catch you

city lights are my eyes and the people are my cells. I embrace the excitement of the alleyway and shun the cautiousness of suburbia. calm summer evenings are the comfort of callous, wayward souls, and they allow me to ruminate like this.

wow, I love this bicyclingfish. As I read this Michael Hutchence's "Slide Away" came to mind.

But you tore a hole in space
Like a dar star, falls from grace
You burn across the sky
And I would find you wings to fly
And I would catch you
I would catch your fall

I love that song, so this is very nice

yes Beebs, also the last little part reminds me of Pulps Nights of Surburbia, the rap thing he does..

That was great, Bikerfish!
Poets that speak of love...

wonderful as always Adam

grasp onto my arms
as I reach to the skies
climb me
play in my leaves
if you fall, I will catch you..

lots of ambiguity going on in this one, very alluring poem
