Sleeping BeautyA Poem by Alexander143Out of my head...
Somewhere
Somehow Sometimes And so now I see me lying in a haunted castle, Awaiting my Princess Charming. In dead silence, I keep waiting. For in my heart, I see her coming. Breathing... Softly... Slowly, Anticipating the moment- When the present is wrapped right; Making the future seem dull and faint. Counting dreams... My eyes closed shut. Patiently, I wait in the loneliness of my bed. Designing the circumstances of the minute- In which she'll bend over to kiss me to life and watch my spell fade. What's keeping you? Thoughts... The monotony of sleep is killing me. I cannot wait any longer,- For the one kiss inspired by destiny. Come... Ride out into the castle. Conquer the distance and battle the odds. Rescue me from the grip of time, Kiss me, with your gentle lips, curved by the gods. Tirelessly... Determined... Strike down this prison fortress! A victor! My victress. Come, run against the ticks of time! Grab me in your arms and kiss me, my princess. Long, I waited for our love to prevail. But in vain. The arms of time are stuck on my neck. Then I realize that you're sleeping next to me. No! I will break our spell. I'll fight against this force till I wake. So, here begins the struggle. I'm fighting my sleep so as to breathe our love. Out-matched, but I still fight on. Knowing there's treasures in you, the one drive I have. Side to side, I swing. Up and down, I fight for us. I can feel my strength creeping in. Ferociously slaying the dragon of sleep,- I wake to a stare in the eyes of my hearts Queen. Good morning. It was just a dream. You smile at me and say, 'Wake up soon my Prince.' Then I figure, I dreamed of dreaming a dream. Dismayed, I lay in my bed, heeding my world's silence. Tell me, to what will I wake,- If not a stare in you eyes, pure and fine? So, I'll keep sleeping, till you walk to my bed- And place your lips, gently on mine. Keep Smiling © 2013 Alexander143Reviews
