Midnight Harbor

Inspired by a trip to The Pike

A towering wheel of shimmering lights

Past a cobblestone string of loud music halls

Surrounded by waves crowned in white froth

And a sparkling expanse of ebony waters

Beside them, a jungle

of blackened green brush

as they walk down a pathway 

made silver by moonlight. 

Standing before them, a tower ever-changing

Sifting through shades of its heart - burning bright.

Here they sit, on the rocks admidst the sand

as the swirling salty air

coats her dark curls. 

Here they sit, till the sun greets the bay

hoping tomorrow will leave them in peace. 

Author's Note

I wanted to try a more atmospheric poem this time around, just to see what I could do with the imagery and stuff. I hope you all enjoyed it, and thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hey, I really enjoyed this style of writing and I like how you stuck to the theme of the poem from the beginning towards the end, this poem was very descriptive and had an atmospheric feel to it. These were beautifully written lines " Here they sit, on the rocks admidst the sand
as the swirling salty air
coats her dark curls."
