She sleeps |

She Sleeps She lies like dead upon the bed, Alive the land of things unsaid. Sleeping the ebb and flow salon And the dawn has come and gone. I fear her state of near yet far, Her mind to long in Shangri-la. Held to hard to the non aware, I question time and is she there? Alone she lay so sweet and still, In rest her body needs to fill. Yet still she shows no sign of wake And do I dare the slightest shake? Will she excuse the rude intrude? Or will it cause vicissitude? In tender love I vacillate? I love her, no matter the state. My love to wake or not to wake? My love to shake or not to shake? I think I'll wait a little more And then I think I'll SLAM THE DOOR. |

Well! What a mix of things - the exotic and humour, and big words juxtaposed with little ones. All in all it adds up to: Just wonderful! |

Let's hope she doesn't wake up grumpy! (and I don't mean Balladeer!) |
