The Venetian Night

Over an old rickety bridge
Where a canal connects with the sea
Stands a man in Venice
Who is dumbstruck by its beauty

Vintage buildings lined on the streets
Fresh flowers present everywhere
People waiting to board the boats
Aimlessly going here and there

Young couples making love
Old couples walking holding hands
The aroma of the Italian food
Along with performances by local bands

In midst of all these
Far far away is the moon
Not entirely a part of this world
Yet having the a reflection on the lagoon

To capture these picturesque scenes
Lens of the camera would lose to the eyes
Words of criticism from anybody
Would be nothing but only lies
