sci-fi riddle challenge
This is my response to O Our Noble King's challenge: to write a sci-fi riddle. I fear I strayed out of sci-fi into fantasy but I hope it may still suit our Most Beneficent King.
Whoever guesses the answer to the riddle will in all complete seriousness get a wonderful special prize from me, to be presented in school the day after I read the comment, approximately.
For a moment, my lady’s limbs are feeble,
and she tumbles in the safety of a private little sea;
she murmurs soft to me, her double,
Saying sweet with tiny dewdrop breaths:
I think it is now time to battle the dragon,
To exert the hands and arm-lengths
And unwrap the warm and coiled presence
Sleeping in my thoughts.
So I come in with sometimes-quiet splendor,
Draped with radiant glints and wooly fastenings.
I lift her from her tidelike burrow, her midnight loveliness.
She turns again and wearily still whispers in my mind.

I think I've found a possible answer...but to speak it... it is profanity... O_O and I don't think Laura would place something like that... it begins with "Or" and has 6 letters.
For the record I didn't actually come up with that answer. It just made a lot of sense when I heard it.
