Night Falls On Toronto

Cars ease over concrete bridges

Where only cars pass underneath, 

And their lights all point to 

Decadence undefined downtown, 

Where the steel and glass skyline

Comes to life like Christmas.

Trains trawl empty into terminals

Where only distance is permitted, 

And then they trawl back out 

to somewhere near some city lights 

Stood blinking in my eyeline

And leaving me restless. 

Planes pierce a sky dreamed by lovers

And smiles wear masks in a world, 

Where stars shine above and

Lights flash below her heart... 

And I'm in some hotel room

As night falls on Toronto.
