Verse – “Sleeping Beauty”

How can the woman in my life,
and in my bed, sleep placidly
while lying next to her is ME-
so sexy, handsome–any wife
should toss and turn, moan now and then
just from the pure proximity!

Or better yet, talk in her sleep!
My darling, sweetheart, you’re the man!
Please wake me now with a deep kiss,
my dreams of you fill me with bliss…

Surely now she’ll beg for MOAR!
But instead she starts to snore…

[Consult an urban dictionary for the meaning of “MOAR”]

About Gordon C. Stewart

I've always liked quiet. And, like most people, I've experienced the world's madness. "Be Still! Departure from Collective Madness" (Wipf and Stock Publishers, Jan. 2017) distills 47 years of experiencing stillness and madness as a campus minister and Presbyterian pastor (IL, WI, NY, OH, and MN), poverty criminal law firm executive director, and social commentator. Our cat Lady Barclay reminds me to calm down and be much more still than I would be without her.
