One Night..

I thought of you one night,
And whoosh! You'd arrived!
Or was it just your apparition?
Or a figment of my imagination?
Yet, there you were, with all the glory!
With laurels around your head, and
Carrying a sword studded with diamond,
With flagrant contempt for the rules,
Or, for me?
You dazzled me with your chimes,
Shackled me with your rhymes!
A fair maid, wasn't I, or a naive slave?
The travail of a loving soul, atoning
For the sins I haven't committed!
One of your greatest skills,
Killing me softly! Deftly slashing,
Across my arms and my legs,
And my heart and my soul!
I see you, in haze,
One last glimpse of your face,
Decaying in the stink of my blood!
Aah, I wake up from slumber,
To the dark silence of my room,
Drenched in sweat and tear!
Phew! 'twas just a dream!
Or, was it?
Unless, perspiration is as red as wine!
