on the streetlight's grey corner
orange flashed over blue
two figures standing sharply
with shoulders pointed and heads bent.
the words were spoken slowly
forming clouds above their tones
silk curtains falling heavy
and lit windows glowing far.
the skies broke up
splitting ice across dark stone
marble slates and ivory stair wells
striking through against slight eyes.
and the sentences grew longer now
drawing stops throughout their space
vapors rising up to sleak the air
spinning straight circles where they're hung.
those same pair of crunched vignettes
smudged the outline of the field
joining against the sun
and the words they hummed sawm gently
under the raze of all their lives.

Your open critique asks for our thoughts on this.  I like the venue you took, but it would work in your favor to check on your spelling.  I have learned over time that unless one can see that misspelled words are intricate to the poem, anything else makes it seem that the poet doesn't care enough to give their very best.  I think you've got it in you to write your best, and look forward to seeing more from you.

Very picturesque.  
So creative in your word vision.
I could almost hear that first note of light.
Very nice.
