sleeping beauty's wish

what wiser witch would do
than cast
a sleeping spell
with just a prick
from a single spindle
and have my father's kingdom
wait for you
for a hundred years

but, my prince
i do not wait for you
nor have i wished
for only a hundred years
of slumber

you see
it was not an easy feat
looking for that spindle
or for the kind hag
to escape
the humdrum world

please, my prince
do not place your lips
upon mine

why don't you just
leave me be

or

you could simply curl up beside me
and sleep as well
