Dimming:

Neon lights shine from within

tear drop rain 

running down the windows so

leaving trace marks

as if a saddened lover

cry weeping for love lost

car lights coming closer

and fading past 

just as fast

leaving a blur

to where they go

I have no knowledge

maybe home

or even to work

as their lights leave 

many a reflection

upon the pavement

I walk 

thoughts drift 

my sense alive

as if a cat

prowling in the darkness

secrets show themselves

as lovers kiss 

in doorways of darkness

hands entwined

arms linked

sharing a moment

only ever for them 

my walk takes me past

a thousand windows

an just as many doors 

each hiding the lives within

a sound of laughter

floats past my ears

as further on

someone weeps gently

a raised voice

echoes beyond

a hushed silence

captures my mind

as on past I walk 

never really 

reaching my end

a late night walk

tells a thousand stories

but shelters a million more

wondering pondering

if tomorrow

it will be as it is now

as the darkness I step into 

closing the lights behind me so
