She Dreams at Night
A Gloom Sonnet
She dreams of white knights in shining armor,
A man of true sight and lasting valor,
To rescue and to carry her away
Nobel fighter that always saves the day.
Dream lover please don’t fade in the waking.
She dreams of a house with white picket fence,
A garden where butterflies lightly dance,
A husband true and children of laughter,
Home to live happily ever after.
Dream cottage please don’t fade in the waking.
She woke finding she was again alone,
In the dirty alley she had made home,
Her dreams now replaced by reality,
A day to roam till tonight’s fantasy.
