Pillow talk – By Douglas C. Pugh
Published By Douglas C. Pugh • Sep 27th, 2009 • Category: PoetryI am the shoulder
a pillow
soft, compliant
listening
fluff me, plump me
rest in me
I am succour
and support
the silent listener
of the night
cornered but not too harsh
crumpled by the pass of time
a sop for hidden tears
the bitten throe of passions height
the bag of angers vent
the holder of secret wishes
in the night word walk of dreams
I am the pillow
rest here, my love
in the hug of my down
and the up of my comfort
About the Author
Douglas C. Pugh
Douglas Pugh lives in Northern Ontario with a logical wife and an insane menagerie. He likes to believe that he fills the gap in the middle.
Bleeding words onto a page help with his delusion. When he’s not writing, he’s probably painting or out riding his bike. And thinking about writing more.
Very original:) Nicely done!!
Very well written, wise, warm, amusing and romantic.
