Senryu Poems Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

I sleep to dream
That someday you will be here
Sleeping next to me.

I cannot leave home
Without touching your sweet lips
You make my day.

Eyes so beautiful
They capture my dreams
Before I go to sleep.

The moon speaks to me
With wisdom of an astrologer
I am a Capricorn.

I am a slave
I bow to your beck and call
Waiting for Freedom.

Roses have thorns
They prick my mind with joy
Red is my favorite colour.

Scent of your silky hair
Perfumes my mind in happiness
I love you.

Listen to your voice
And hear the echo in my sleep
You keep me awake.

Clasp my hands
I offer prayer in your name
Om, Sai Ram

Enjoy morsels of food
Salads, sweets and spaghetti with chicken
Enjoyable meal.
