Sleepwalking

SLEEPWALKING

       Two families were great friends cum neighbors
        One had a good son, other owned a daughter.

        Mutual care and share freely flowing
       Boy and girl of same age gradually growing.

       They studied in same class, played together.
       As friends, boy and girl loved each other.

      No trouble, no problem between boy and girl.
      Boy shone as diamond, girl glistened like pearl.
 
      Parents were worried as both were victims
      of sleep walking in half-conscious dreams.

      Often the boy in sleep walked in neighbor’s garden.
      Sleeping girl walking appeared all on a sudden.

      Both being grown up, friendship turned to love.
      Parents watched them as pair of cooing doves.

      No trouble, no problem wedding took place.
     Two sleep walkers woke up with bright face.

     Congratulations to newly-wed bride-groom.
      Sleepwalking is stopped, confined in same room.

A surprise ending, and fit provides some fun to the poet's heart.
