City Of Angels

I know of a place where the most inconceivable of dreams come to life. Where celestial stars reside, the luminous human forms. The whole metropolis, a magnetic field drawing in people. A landscape where transparent crystals adorn flawless skin and daisies get tangled in long hair. This is a place where golden haired, bright-eyed children star in motion pictures and everyone is eternally young. Black and white film stars used to roam the boulevard and you can still see their ghosts if you look hard enough. This is a place where everything is fleeting but the pavement and blinding sun. The waves are never-ending and they’ll crush you if you aren’t careful. This is a modern safari complete with man-eating lions in disguise and a fast paced highway. The only type of faith here is in the silver screen. The living damned, cursed in a city where the air is thick with sex. This is possibly the most dangerous collection of streets and buildings and angels you will encounter so watch your step. But it’s worth it. For a moment, as you watch the sunset from a rooftop with palm trees in the distance and a hundred of your closest acquaintances, you can feel the magic more intensely than ever before.
