She Dreams

She dreams of her knight in shining
armor protecting her from the evils
of the world. To defend her honor
when some are jealous of her and
her happiness with her knight.
She dreams of sunsets on the beach
where a rainbow streams across the
sky. Sharing it with her knight as
he feeds her grapes as they snuggle
trying to keep warm as the waves
crash against the shoreline.
She dreams of falling in love with
a man who will not lie to her. She
wants to feel loved, secured, desired,
attractive, and to feel his warm
embrace when she needs his arms
around her when she cries.
She dreamt the sweetest things as she
awakens refresh and ready for the
day with renewed vigor.
