I didn't fight the pillows
or wrestle with the sheets
but, oh, that getting up
my lifelong enemy.

In bed I dream, I feel you near,
I speak of my desires,
and believe I am a queen
reigning o'er my fantasies.

But unruly, so unruly,
is my fantasy of you
that willingly I lay down
my title to the crown.

I'm just a "me", no regal queen
to sign my name to rules
of how and when my fantasies
pay their respect to me.

But queen or no they bend low
and creep silently within
to light the candles one by one
in the window of my love.

A feast is laid on my table of need
and music plays the sweet refrains
of a heart in tune with you
in my room with a view.

Then my lifelong enemy
wins the duel and I get up
to face the day a "me"
who like a queen cannot control
unruly fantasies!

Thanks, Lori. Is there such a thing as a fantasy attack?

Hah! Gotta love it, a "queen" or a "me," it is all good except when the plumbing back up.
