Love Poem: Electric Girl

Electric Girl

Standing on the 
corner
          of a street 
in the heart of the asphalt 
homeland
             A nighttime scene
here in the city
         is enough for
my 
electric 
girl
     Her eyes light up-
defeating the shadows
   which evening brings
She moves with a
 careless grace
   Her eyes dancing
like jewels on a cosmic necklace
   Will she find a lover 
   Here in this metropolis
  Happiness is an
elusive thing
      but she'll see it 
through tonight
she'll light up the 
    city with her love
Dance wildly until 
      the stars above 
are shamed 
                by her beauty
