PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Sometimes the sky is dark, not to pretty

I can see the lights from the distant city

Somewhere there is a candle burning

Left out on a shelf in the darkest night

Sometimes we feel we get forgotten

And our love can vanish in the night

And I know there is always tomorrow

And I know the earth is still turning

But I can’t follow any ones footsteps

And dark at night the moonlight is hollow

But I can see the light from all the cities

And I know there is place for me tonight

Sometimes the sun is not here very often

And the sky is low and not very bright

I wish somehow the mood could soften

As I watch you slip away into the night

I know you will not ever be forgotten

I have my memories they are burning

Beneath my feet the earth is still turning

It’s so hard for me to draw the curtain

It’s hard me to move my pencil right

But I must keep myself from hurting

I hope someday you’ll come to the city        

Where everything is all aglow and bright

There is a rainbow in every streetlight

Everything else turned black and white

I will always love life in the city

That is where you will always find me

If you’re looking you’ll find me in the city

Somewhere I am burning big and bright

And it was love that lit the candle

To keep me safe when I’m alone at night,
