The Night's Beat

Sweat, spit, cologne,

Drips, flies, spreads,

On breasts, on faces and on palms holding others.

Alcohol, cigarette, recklessness,

Flows, burns, takes control,

Between conversations, between lips and in fantasies unfulfilled.

Lights, vibe, music,

Blind, lifts, sets in,

Your eyes, your souls and under your skin.

Friends, strangers, friendly strangers,

Smile, Dance, Groove,

Around you, against you and with the night's beat.
