NYC

I wrote this when I was really missing NYC. I still do loads. Everyday :'(

Nostalgia
Longing to be within
Yearning for the sights, smells and sounds
Of a city –
Like a lover it waits
Distant,
Half the world away
And it ever presents itself
So cruely
In movies
And songs
And conversations
Reminding you
Every turn you take
Accidental glimpses
It is a character
A force to be reckoned with
Slient
Yet,
As deadly as a jealous lover
Ever so possessing
Taking hold of my heart
Engulfing
Injecting persuasion
The art of temptation.

Before I read further into your poem, this part had me thinking. My mind was playing tricks on me. I was thinking, is the author longing to be with a lover? Then, I saw the comparison of the lover and I realized that my mind was not so twisted at all lol.

I love this piece and it will be on my fav list.

Your poem betrays a love for NYC, perhaps a feeling of life at it's most extreme? All of your senses working full bore? That is what I get when I read this. I hope I read with a proper understanding. I truly enjoyed.
