NYC

Nostalgia
Longing to be within
Yearning for the sights, smells and sounds
Of a city –

Like a lover it waits
Distant,
Half the world away

And it ever presents itself
So cruely
In movies
And songs
And conversations
Reminding you

Every turn you take
Accidental glimpses

It is a character
A force to be reckoned with

Slient
Yet,
As deadly as a jealous lover
Ever so possessing
Taking hold of the heart

Engulfing,
Injecting persuasion

The art of temptation.
