Love Poem to NYC—11 September, 2011

I have walked your streets
Lexington, Broadway, Greenwich…

So much touches me
On the island of Manhattan

Your essence lives in my dreams
If not in my current reality

I walk using Google
And write my New York fantasies

I am one of many
Entranced by this city

Millions of stories
Known and untold

Happily ever afters
And amazing triumphs

Losses hard to bear
And tearful endings

You remain an icon of these
Speaking to so many

Where dreams are made
If you can make it there…

On this day of remembrance and sorrow
You’re here in my heart, NYC
