The Sleeping Beauty Poem by Tulsi Shrestha

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY
Once I awoke in midnight
My beloved is sleeping
by the side of me.
I noticed her soft
graceful smile.
She tenderly squeezed
the pillow beneath
her head.
I planted a sweet
kiss above her
crimson lips.
My lips enjoyed
heavenly touch
her slender
finger tips.
It is all
in her half sleep.
When she experienced
a soft caress of mine
above the long blonde
hair, cascaded below
weaving in bed.
She gently caressed
above my chest
and utter something
that I can't hear.
Might have spelled
I love you, I love you.
She again smiled
in her deep sleep.
It really sounds
mysterious for me
Tears of joy and pain
floated from my eyes
to remind me
To what extent
I really love her.
I can't notice
when did golden dawn
peep out from window;
because of intoxication
of her fabulous beauty.
While gazing her
elegant beauty
through out
the whole night
without disturbing
her deep sleep.
The beauty that I watched
the whole night
without expecting
any reward
is indeed
a symbol
of truth and
eternity.
A base of life
A thing of joy
An essence of mine
