The Colossus of New York: micro outlook
After those steps soles submerge in
A puddle of solenoids that accumulate in acceleration.
The colossal constructures situate over
fields of pulls within their inhabitants
drawn by rumored fantasies
provided by the city.
The intricacy of the detached crowd—
Romance sprouts from reverie
soon evaporates in a flash.
Manhattan wind hauls ghosts in
the ceaseless dance of the avenues under
serene heartbeats and yearnings.
Tips of umbrellas click and,
Leather shoes tap on the concrete formulating
Virile cadence. Footsteps shuffling
through chic stilettos from not faraway
Individuals wearing perfumes that unravel
the tempting evenings.
Doors closed on gent while he unstraps
Belts restrained both his waist
and instinctual demeanors.
Crispy gins cool down the boiling
Throat as ice cubes nudge his lips and
slide away.
End of the hall,
the drop of curling iron creates a dull thud
following a feminine humming in joyous mood.
The aroma of cosmetic products slips
under the door permeating the foyer in vigor
Defying the agitated modesty.
Yellow cab flicking the high beam
under the curtain of nightfall
Brighter than daylight.
Man situates himself in the backseat flattening
out the button-up, gazing outside the window
Reflection of the back of
A purple halter top striding in catwalks.
Eyes shut in the laid-back breeze brushing
his face awaiting for the night.
Sassy heels pressure the ground with
tipsy adhesion, besides, suede loafers
emulating the uneven steps.
Arms around shoulders under men’s blazer,
Golden hoops jiggle in beats
as the unit proceeds upstairs.
Both stop by the last door;
the rustling fabric moves against
the surface; fingers run through tousled strands
from sweats and humidity; temperature rises
in a punctual manner;
blazers drop shirts untucked.
Bustling street awakes metropolitans
from a dozy yawn. Cold shower opens
The fresh day filled with airiness and
unpredictable odds.
City goers hop into office attires catching
underground subway with chilled brew.
Flocks well out from cabinets
Heading into the uncharted.
Two strange souls intertwined a whisper ago
Depart in urban labyrinth, elapse;
In occasional muster they find each other
On the virgin horizon yet astray.

My poem conveys the message of the power of New York City. The intricacy of relationships plays significant yet discreet roles. You may never know when the next time you will see the person passing you on the street will be.
