An Ode To My Bed

You rest perfectly in your glorious permanence

The day grows long as I crave your solitude

Unequivocally tethered to your pertinence

My body craves the sweet release it pursues

My essence broken and weary as I seek your sanctuary

Your silent darkness emphatically sought

My reliance on you, never momentary

Your reliability exclusively taught

*

The softness of feathers, the lightweight of silk

Ushers elation upon every fibre of my being

Indistinguishable from a new babe, craving its mother's milk

My skin desperately seeking your feeling

The day grows sterile and colourless when we're apart

My body quakes under the lengthy strain of day

Your promise of peace, desperate to impart

Endless echos of euphoria, where I long to stay

*

Engulfing my mind, I know you to be true

Standing resilient in your ability to temper my sorrows

You lift my spirit when it's swallowed and blue

Impossible to stay in my melancholy, so hollow

My suffering diminished in each blissful instance

Your comfort proves impossible to replicate

The memory of anguish, far removed in the distance

As my mind drifts through the beauty of an unconscious state

*

Solace like no other, a haven of tranquillity

A temptress who has mastered one's art

Nothing has ever called to me so vehemently

Encapsulating my exhausted heart
