Promise foretold

On a moonstruck evening
when the clock stopped to talk
it reminded of an event
a promise foretold
a dreamlike peace in motion
like a flying dove
interpreted and broken
blew the red siren
haunting silent and cold

the set of events
now, the drama unfolds
painting picture of a maiden
the lips so cold

lost in imagination
the beauty untold
the moonstruck evening
reminded a promise
the face unfolds

inspired by a dear friend...
