Midnight

Lights off,
the world is sleeping.
Dogs howl,
cricket’s watching.
The stream flows;
Soft whispers;
Rain falls,
it gives shivers.
A woman sleeps;
A man is naked.
Stars wink,
trees faded.
Curtains down;
Music is low.
Old man’s breathing,
a silent moan.
Painful cry;
Hurrying footsteps.
A knock on the door
Unveiling secrets.
