Dreams/Reality

In my dreams you rescue me,
like a damsel in distress.
YOu are my Knight Errant,
my Hero, I must confess.
You'd slay the mighty dragon
who would have me as his own.
Or confront the evil witch
and melt her heart of stone.
Other times you are a mariner
who has sailed on every sea.
But when each voyage is over
you return again to me.
Each picture in my imaginings,
when all is said and done,
is just another fairy tale
except where, my love you've won.
But I don't need a knight in armour
with a white horse for him to ride.
All I need is my love returned
and you by my side.

Thanks Sudhir, I only just finished it as I was posting it. So I was nervous about the reaction.

Hi Dee,

Better watch it, you'll have every man at Passions coming to rescue you, my fair damsel.  Nicely done, dear friend. I knew you'd love it here.

Take care,

Michael

Thanks Michael, I'm pleased you like it. But I think they would be in shock if they rescued this "fair damsel"!!!
Love,
Dee
