On the rooftop.......


Shimmering Shanghai lights
The dazzling fireworks in the sky
The glitterati of the diamond city
The folks passing by
I search for brightness
In this heavenly lit-sky

For the sky is in my line of sight
My search for the twinkling star
Ends hundreds of feet below
Yet high.....
The faded star amongst the pitch blackness
Calls me heart to heart
I wish you had more brightness
down there
However faded though I seem to you
My faintness' sparkle is more than
that of your eyes
I wish you had more love
And had the blindness that sees beyond the
lucid eyes...
