At night,
store lights send you over
their ancient cobbled roads ... the cobbled roads don't belong to the store lights, I'd think
with bars resounding music. ....a comma after roads and no 'with' would work here. 'With' is almost always a very loose conjunction
Strolling on, I smile as you dance
beneath our passing bodies. .... this is well done. I can see exactly what you're describing. The last two lines can be a short poem (in that format, the 'strolling on' would be superfluous, however)
~ I think I just quoted myself - Achebe
