Pulled between two desires,
frustration battles with contempt.
Perfume wafting down the hall
makes decisions harder,
obligations, nagging incessant whispers,
I must leave,
but still
I am seduced
by feathers on my bed

It really is the feathers,
Because I know humans.

It seems we writers have difficulty in pursuing our sleep...ahhh, but once we are there, cuddled within the warmth and comfort of our covers, we do not care to rise too soon. 
Congrats on your golden chalice, Di.

Sounds like sleep can be the best seduction of all. Best of luck with this as it was truly written with an artist hand.
