sleeping beauty

by writer   Sep 24, 2024


there once was a dream
to live high up in the clouds
but it rained loud
and the storm seemed to never recede.

and one fine day, i saw a rainbow,
a glimmer of light shining bright
with a pot of gold underneath it.
and i walked up to it
and he touched me - midas touch -
i turned into gold.
now i sway between reality and dreams,
between surprises of fatality,
wondering what all of this will be -
can it be anything more than something?
a lone night of passion.
how can i abandon those dreams
i never thought i'd dream.
but are dreams ever real?
i think of sacrificing myself every night.
it's only my family and all my dear friends
who somehow make sure i'm all right.

i was frozen ice,
he touched me into a smile
making me forsake every lie,
a husband, a wife,
a knife,
cut me deep but spare me tonight,
alive,
let's surmise,
i - i - i - you've changed me,
will i now move towards the light?

i was sleeping beauty,
am i awake now?

september calls me to do the bravest thing:
i kissed you and let you live on in my mind, sunshine.
