The BROADway

Red lipstick
Leopard heels
Nightlife jewelry
Spider leg
Eyelashes
And frills

Sky Scrapers
Neon signs
Theatre lights

Abandoned box offices
Empty seats
Once filled with cheers

Blanketed creatures
Concrete beds
Screams
Fall on
Deaf ears

Aimless wanderers
Staggering legs
Money in a cup
One of 'em begs

Glossy streets
Dancing breezes
Awakening statues
Cemented to walls
Building

Heart beats

Lifeless
Goblins
Victorian lads
Petticoated women
Devils and hags
Watching
Vying
To consume
Given a life of premeditated
Doom

One, two, three
Office lights still on
"I'll be home in a minute"
Glued to the screen

Typing of fingers
Tell a
different story
Buildings filled with
Overtime fiends

Final destination
Here is what I seek

Handcrafted
Gothic
Steel doors
Elongated handle
Welcoming draft
Its about to begin
One foot in

Dainty
Perfumed hand
Gently stamped
Glancing around
Cocktail drinkers
In full swing

French sophistication
Velveteen paper
Tracing fingertips
Embracing the wall

Musical notes
Sultry vocals
Harmonious tones
Inching me closer

Somehow
Intoxicated
With the
Ambiance
Of it all

Dim lit room
Electric blue bulbs
Ears tingling
Whispers
Coming from
Cocktails themselves

Ice shavings
Drunken cherries
Still holding on
The occasional finger
Flirtatiously playing
Water lazily cascading
Moistened napkins
Catching their
Fall

Tipsy eyelids
Flirtatious shoulders
Womanly maneuvers
Premeditated blokes
Clever chatter
Sensual schemes

Around the bend
Yes
The doctor is in
Take my prescription
Let me drink it all in
