Moonlight Scribbles

Moonlight dances on the cracked pavement,

Thoughts spill messy, like a spilt arrangement.

Quiet city hum, whispers in my ear,

Chasing faded echoes that disappear.

Scribbles in the moonlight, never felt so clear,

Writing out my soul, every line sincere.

Fingers trace the skyline, shadows drawing near,

Scribbles in the moonlight, silence I revere.

Raindrops tap soft, a metronome's beat,

Sneakers soaked through, cold creeps in my feet.

Neon signs blink, Morse code for the lost,

Dreams traded cheap, but what's the real cost?

Scribbles in the moonlight, never felt so clear,

Writing out my soul, every line sincere.

Fingers trace the skyline, shadows drawing near,

Scribbles in the moonlight, silence I revere.

Flicker of a lighter, cigarette haze,

Streetlight halos, a golden maze.

Memories murmur, like static through time,

Every scar a stanza, every bruise a rhyme.

Scribbles in the moonlight, never felt so clear,

Writing out my soul, every line sincere.

Fingers trace the skyline, shadows drawing near,

Scribbles in the moonlight, silence I revere.
