Café Terrace at Night

Walking on the cobble streets
with my lover in hand
heading to the café
seeing others talking and laughing
and sipping cigarettes and coffee.
The only light that is shining
on this dark city street night
is coming from the café,
illuminating with the people.
The wooden chairs, the coffee
look inviting to our tired bodies.
sitting, admiring the big tree
the vivid night sky
the streets that line the town
the luminosity of us, the people
at this small café,
the only bright light in this big black and blue city
