Sleep Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

You took advantage of my weakness
And drove me crazy with your seductive eyes
Knowing very well that I’ll fall for you
You cast your spell upon me
Charming all my five senses
Into a hypnotic trance

Your intoxicating cup is amazing
Betraying my physical fitness
You manhandled me to the ground
Putting me to bed with ease
Conspiring with my dreams
You conquered my night

You wrapped your arms around me
And made love to me for hours
Answering my inner desire
You came a multiple times
Conquering my senses
And sending them amok
You aroused my inner freedom
Solidifying my inner peace
And putting my soul to rest
You did not stop until sunrise

You left me a note on the pillow
Reminding me of our unfinished business
In haste you left
Your shyness betrayed
By the intruding sunlight
