Sleeping Beauty Poem by Prandy Clark Banawan

Asleep for many decades
Sleeping beauty you’re awake!
The man smothered you
And bear tears of yours
Upon the lake…

How’s your dream
When the cotton clouds
Of the past days
Kiss the hymn
Of the memories aloud
Every solemn,
summer May?

Serenade a chariot
From a man’s palm
That tenderly touches
Your glow…
But forsaken, idiot!
‘though you beg for alms
Heart like stone and no “please”
They know…

If you gonna let me
Those perils I shall pave.
I shall be in the midst of thee
Besetting many grave!

So worry no more, oh dear...
Sleep well, calm your chest
I’ll struggle to the very rear
To the most tough, for your rest…
