Array ( [sid] => 178502 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => won't sleep without you [time] => 2014-06-08 06:47:37 [hometext] => a gentle tease for the dear, sweet lady that always has a kind word for everyone here...may you have pleasant dreams, always, my dearest ms. n.! [bodytext] => Another day ceases past it's sunset sky
Prompting a call for my own quiet rest
Amidst life's donated piles is where I lie
Forgetting the now past's urgent request

A few squeaks, creaks and a rustle of sheet
Lying back, my arms surround my old friend
Not quite a lover, yet inspires such complete
So necessary if I am ever to sleep in the end

I poke and push and even strike my bedfellow
Who never utters a single complaint nor whine
Into a night now dark as the moor from othello
I nestle with arms wrapped, knowing he's mine

Ebon shadow silently paints this familiar place
An errant evening breeze giving drapes billow
With no one else would I share this warm embrace
Snuggled sleepily, thinking, oh how I love you, dear pillow [comments] => 8 [counter] => 219 [topic] => 43 [informant] => reprobate [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

michael! lmao! oh clever funny you! after recently reading some of your racier poetry- heh, i had no idea here what to expect, thank you for sharing a glimpse into your world, a beautiful writer as always; this is brilliantly penned, even Into a night now dark as the moor from othello so poetical and gentle a line fits perfectly into your light hearted poem, you are a true artist:) !just for a split second i worried- ...then the ending! if only i had an ounce of your wit and ease of laughter!

love n' hugs nessa

LOVE IT! A change up at the very last, you have caught me unaware again!
"Who never utters a single complaint or whine"…Oh such fun to go back and read again to see the web into which I happily fell!
To sleep, perchance to dream…dear pillow on your well worn seam!
Wonderful fun!
