Loves Dream Poem by Biff McGuire

If I’ve dreamed and can’t remember
I don’t know why I am sure that you
Were dancing ‘round inside my head
As if per-chance you wanted to

I don’t know why it felt so good
When waking from this slumber
Or why I ever thought that I could
Break this spell you’ve put me under

I’m dizzy as I start to stir
The air surrounding me is stale
The beads of sweat and clamminess
Confirm the fact, my face is pale

What have you done? To poison me
With symptoms of a restless night
Some hidden fact that I can’t see
A sign of pleasure I can’t fight?

I’ve never had to work so hard
And in the end to sleep so little
The aching mixed with ecstasy
Becomes a puzzling riddle

I guess it’s just like all the years
Of pride so hard to swallow
Your body is the “Pied Piper”
And I (the rat) must follow
