Rose Through the Eyes of a Peeping Tom

White gown on the floor, 
careless and silken; 
as if in a slumber and
caressed by the rain. 

Wet footsteps cross the room
at a lazy stroll; 
not a heed to listen back
to a distant call! 

Drops of water on the window
spoil a reddish stain; 
Lipstick planted on the glass
lipstick in the rain. 

Dreamy eyes fill the sky
evening comes up close; 
lost in sea of unknown thoughts
a woman, known as Rose!
