Sleeping Beauty
as the invincible tranquility
of the ocean prevails
over the rage of storms
your beauty remains awake
in the deepest of sleep
your awakened face releases
onto the world a smile
that speaks of hopeful
dreams triumphant
above haunting nightmares
every morning i find
you more accomplished
than the day before
every night by your presence
is a blissful experience
in my world there are
no worries over load-shedding
i just cannot afford to wake up
from the clutch of your thighs
into the world of failed power
& limping reality
