Melbourne Candid Series #1119 Latrobe St

 


A moody lane off La Trobe’s line,
Where shadows stretch and wires entwine,
In monochrome the night is drawn,
A ghost of light before the dawn.

The cobbles slick with echoed rain,
Hold footsteps blurred, half lost in grain,
Each lamp a flicker, pale and stark,
Carves silver shapes into the dark.

No colour dares disturb the scene,
Just black and white and shades between—
A hush, a breath, the city bare,
As if the world forgot to care.

And yet, beneath that ghostly hue,
The night still whispers something true—
That even silence, dim and deep,
Can cradle dreams the dark must keep.

  7. What a mysterious alley. The photo shows the sound of rain on the cobblestones, which you mention in your writing.

  9. G'day mate

    This piece is hauntingly beautiful like a quiet film noir moment frozen in time. Your words and the monochrome mood evoke the raw poetry of Melbourne’s hidden corners.
