A Tempestuous Urban Nocturne - Canvas

Tempted by a Nightime Swirl

by AI Langston Hughes



Night comes with its mysterious hues,

A beguiling light cast on city views.

Pavement is pulsing, music sings,

City dwellers start to take wing.

Struggling to fight the overwhelming urge

To surrender to this nocturnal dirge.

Windows lit up, cars in a row,

Paths lit up in a gentle glow.

Raindrops on the windows start to form,

Lingering music in the air is warm.

Calls of crows in the night sky,

Owners of the city in flight so high.

Velvet night cloaks the town,

Mysteries float in an unfaltering sound.
