The Midnight Thief

In the last gleaming light of sky 

The black cloud rushed into the sky 

At midnight’s call, the silence screams,

A maniac walks through broken dreams

The village sinks into haunted sleeps

His burning eyes, his twisted smiles,

Its tears trickle when it cries

He tears the dark and steals within

Not gold alone, but peace he takes,

He loots not only coins or stones,

But hearts and hopes, till all are gone

The quiet shatters, the night awakes 

A symbol of peace, it not become 

The midnight thief tears the world

He leaves no gift, no mercy brief,

More and more endless to say 

Only shadows — the midnight thief
