Bandit behind branches
thick with leaves
the shy moon
conceals its light
A thief in the night...
Now perched high in the sky
It winks its eye...

Movie Night On Cable
Mom, thief in the night
Takes her son back to survive
Stolen from father
Fake gun, they were on the run
Shot in back, police attack.

Behind The Veil
Like a thief in the night 
academia
wears enlightenment
as a mask
hiding its true agenda
— a stranglehold on the truth

Premium Member Thief In the Night
Even before we met, you were stealing my heart
Like a thief in the night, as quiet as can be.
Now that you have it, we’ll never be torn apart.
For, what you have taken comes with the whole of me....

Thief
like a thief in the night
coming in crescent light
you slip inside of me
stealing all of my dreams

what is a gal to do?
to get her mind off you
you stay when I awake
causing much heart ache...

He will come to us all...like a thief in the night.
He loves all he created...don't judge who's wrong or who's right.
For only he can pass judgement...not you nor I.
Get your own house in order...before he comes back from the sky....

The Reckoning
The vision intrudes,
stealing ink from my pen

A thief in the night,
leaving words that portend

A warning’s been given,
its mantle thrown down

But truth will write over
—what darkness avows

(Villanova Pennsylvania:  April, 2017)...

Thief of Hearts
Thief of Hearts 

You came into my peaceful life
Stole my fragile heart
Like a thief in the night

You took my love 
But somehow you could not find 
The love for me 
That I prayed you might

My soul is crying 
I feel like dying 
But I must not 
Give up the fight...

Asymptomatic Love
Asymptomatic love, a silent thief in the night
Unseen and unfelt, but oh, what a painful sight

But love, a stubborn force, will not be denied
And through the pain, it will always abide

In the end, successful, despite the bitter cost
Two hearts now one, forevermore embossed...

Premium Member Thief In the Night
unannounced rob you blind
let her come a thief in the night
in one final peaceful breath
lingering dignity in the balance
death not being the worst of fate

Shooting Star
I fell like a shooting star
When I saw you from afar
Dancing with your friends
Grappling this love that transcends

You approached me
Wanting me to dance
I felt the urge to flee
But overcame my hesitance

We danced the night away
Lost in the strobe lights
You stole my heart away 
Like a thief in the night....

Their Thief of the Night
Why are they thief of the night?
Why do the want some thing that is not their?
Why do they call out to man and never learn form their way?
Why they can’t take it when you don’t like them?
Why can’t they take what you say but they want you to listen to their point of view.
Why want they learn form their own ways?
Who are they?...

Dear, What Was It
'Dear-What Was It'
The Daughter that we made, or the one that
chose to leap the ledge too fly away.
'Dear', I can't present, them here as kings to be,
what they aren't, some thief in the night, whom
comes and goes through my front door.
Even now I'm fraught, as I must be and even now,
the blind can see what I am not, and we are miles apart....

New England Winter
I tap my foot restless...
The snow continues to cover. 
In a torrent- my torment.
Taking my sweet years with it. 

As I age and forget. 
With all that remains- I regret.

I retreat in my cave and curse the gray days. 

A thief in the night, I awake…to an empty chamber- my heart. 

I cannot take another New England winter. To face myself in the mirror....

The Outside Observer
He's an outsider to the pain I feel
Oblivious and happy-
When with her
Like a thief in the night I want to steal
His heart
But it was never mine from the start
I watch
This time the outsider
An invisible particle of air
All the fire
Extinguished out of me
Pathetic and lonely
My feelings unspared
A smile etched on my face
So that the hurt is never showcased...

Wake Up Thou Sluggard!
Wake Up Thou Sluggard!

The Lord  surely comes as a thief in the night;
truely now is the day and time to get it right.
By your Faith, seek Him while He may be found;
For perhaps in that Evil Day, you'll still be around
Pray that he hide you in the Shadow of His Wing
to protect you from That Beast; That Host of an Evil Thing!

Thieving Fear
Fear ~ Who do you think you are?
And what gives you the right
To infiltrate my senses and trigger me to flight?
From the depths of my mind, you creep with expert stealth,
Like a thief in the night, you rob me of my health.
And while you have the key, you steal away my sanity
I'm held so tightly, in your grip, that I lose myself and abandon ship.

Packing
You flutter about like a bird in flight.
Grabbing things like a thief in the night.
Shirts and pants flying about, what a sight.
When you grabbed the shoes from the floor you gave the dog a fright.
The suitcase on the bed used to be so light.
But now lifting it takes all of your might.
So determined that everything fit just right.
It’s funny to watch you pack tonight....

Precious Gift
Little hands and little feet.
A precious gift for us to keep.

Close your eyes and dream sweet dreams;
of candy canes and choo choo trains.

Little Angel, spread your wings and fly.
Mother will sing you a lullaby.

Like a thief in the night; you stole my heart.
A prisoner of love, Till death due we part.

Little hands and little feet. 
A precious gift for us to keep....

Like a Thief In the Night
Like a theif in the night 
Never trust any one 
To make you usefull 

Never depend on any one
To make you responsible 

Believe in your ability 
Believe in your self 
By your self to make 
Your self who you want 
Yourself to be 

If not by the time 
You realise by yourself 
That you never live 
To build your life 
By yourself 
It will be 
Like the thief in the night...

In Search of the Cream
Is someone profiting on your wishes and dreams,
renaming your parade

Like a thief in the night they steal every wish,
their own life at best a charade

Is someone else cashing the check you just wrote,
to pay for their larcenous schemes

Has your good name been kidnapped, indentured, enslaved
—as you curdle in search of the cream
