Spent and Tired - 5 Minute Freewrite Day 55
So here we are, Mattress,
Polite, silent friend for life,
End of the daily, grotesque ballet.
Nobody can uderstand me like you do.
The only thing I want is to spend more time together.
Across the darkness ferry me.
Numb and deaf and blind, I will become for a while.
Do this magic trick for me once again.
To the next light bring me,
In a vessel made of your broad shoulders,
Rhythmically cradling my crouched, folded body.
Exhale calm and peace, closing the
Door of my conscience for the periodical inventory.

Marvelous poetry. I love my bed and pillows! This is my hope, too!
Across the darkness ferry me.
I'll do it this weekend ;)
Very nice, the mattress surely deserves more lyrism and dignity (ad much as the pillow)!
I have a conflictual relationship with the pillows...they tend to be hurled in the room
Sleeping on a mattress will never be the same again, after reading this beautiful prose!
I know it's not like sleeping in the depths of the Ocean, in the lost city of R'lyeh, but I settle with the mattres ;)
Oh, my sweet, cozy R'lyeh, with all the tentacled sleepers, how much I have missed you!
At this point I have to follow the messenger of the Ancients! Cthulhu ftagn! (Wish i could have got that nickname ..genial). Just promise me that when you'll be a whale you'll sink all steemit in a pit of madness :-P
Just wait until the stars are right....
Wow. I'm somewhat speechless. So simple and yet really beautiful. A poem about sleep... maybe it's my years and years of insomnia struggles, but... yeah. This is fantastic!
I'm sorry for your insomnia! Sometimes I choose to not sleep because I want to read, or write, but I like a lot sleeping :)
This IS so true!! I will never think of my bed the same :D Thank You for making me smile!!
Yes, I'm grateful for my bed :)
I see my mattress with new eyes now I've read this. Very imaginative!
Thank you...I use to see my mattres with....closed eyes! :D
