Analysis of London Eyes
Smoky, sultry
Walking
The sodden streets
Of London alone
Leather coat
Glistens in sheens
Cold fingers
Burn my last cigarette
Women
With dark mascara
Even darker eyes
Cut through-
Skin undulates,
Ignites
Starless night
Envelopes
dark music
Illuminates city streets
With strange love
This place is
Reminiscent
Of my dirty soul
With all the beauty
That lurks and hides
Beneath
