raindrops beating on the roofs
lightning charges the night air
the dogs barking with their woofs
thunder’s giving them a scare
sleep escapes, I turn to you
lips electric blue in shade
eyes wide shut, as if you knew
the impending masquerade
quietly at first, we move
urgency soon overtakes
there is nothing left to prove
and too late to hit the brakes
lightning lights our starry end
pale blue glow invades the room
we fall back together, spent
rain will make the flowers bloom
