in the midst of the night

as the moon reign in the sky
and the light surrenders to darkness
chirping crickets is all around while

slowly her strength vanishes

and usher her into oblivion
as  the sirens pierce in
the silence of the night
a ray of light is beaming
gives way to a silhouette of his soul
a gentleman from sole to crown and
slowly he whispers sweet nothings
that is pleasing to her ears
and trembling to her nerves
that brings her to a magical scene
they called paradise…
suddenly the night’s silence
halted by a deafening sound of an alarm
she opens her eyes
and purses her lips in thought
and she utters
IS THAT FOR REAL OR JUST A DREAM?
