I'm in the white city. <br /> <br /> <br />A dense fog <br /> <br />Disintegrates all my hopes. <br /> <br />There are people dreaming <br /> <br />Of nonexistent worlds, <br /> <br />There are disoriented people <br /> <br />Walking on the terminal's sidewalk. <br /> <br />There are lights turning on and off so erratically <br /> <br />In this white city. <br /> <br />There are hidden screams in the night <br /> <br />Covered by the heavy rain sounds, <br /> <br />That rain falling continuously <br /> <br />And monotonously. <br /> <br />In this white city, <br /> <br />The victims <br /> <br />Don't understand that they are victims yet. <br /> <br />There are flowers, <br /> <br />There are fast food kiosks, <br /> <br />There are botanical gardens, <br /> <br />With beautiful exotic trees, <br /> <br />And there are horror movies in the theaters. <br /> <br />As shadows emerging from the fog <br /> <br />Are the last steps. <br /> <br />There are steps searching each other, <br /> <br />And there are steps that are separated forever. <br /> <br />The rain's sounds <br /> <br />Vibrate the eye of the windows, <br /> <br />Vibrate the burial stones, <br /> <br />Vibrate the dreams, <br /> <br />Those dreams <br /> <br />About better days. <br /> <br />Apparently, <br /> <br />Someone screams <br /> <br />In the white mist of the night. <br /> <br />Maybe he's the victim of an aggression, <br /> <br />Or maybe, he's someone who has lost his love. <br /> <br />Maybe it's just an echo... <br /> <br />I'm in the white city <br /> <br />And I'm searching for you in the darkness...<br /><br />Marieta Maglas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-white-city-2/
