There is no place more unencumbered for the mind to exist than within a bed, so the dreamers say
and I agree
You have always been there for me
From the moment I took my first breath, my life has always revolved around you
There is no morning I wake up wanting to leave your warm heaven,
and there is no night I'm hesitant to retire to your nocturnal lair
You are my sacred oasis, my divine retreat,
and when I'm tired of my reality
I always know that at the end of each day
you will be there for my escape
A soft hum that will lull me into a blissful slumber
A touch that will heal my weary bones
A scent that will lighten my burdened soul
I yearn for every gentle caress your doting blankets slip me
Every time I shut my eyes, you kiss me with plush cotton
I never fear the spell you cast when you put me into a deep sleep,
where the chances of me rising again are unknown,
as it would be the sweetest death
if I could die while peacefully dreaming in your folds
To paraphrase Napoleon's fond words,
I would not exchange you for any throne in the world
and that is the truth
Yet,
for all that you bless me with, you are also a curse
Somedays you are my salvation
I can find solitude in you and never feel alone
You offer relief where I can shed my troubles
A place where I can rest my heavy eyes, and devise a world that isn’t as dark
Other times, you provide a false sense of security and lure me into chaos
I get tangled in your sheets of silk
lose myself in the fabric of your terrors, trapped within your paralysis
Still,
I keep returning
I can never hold it against you
even when the despair feels so consuming that I'm unable to find peace,
and those days are becoming more common
Nevertheless, I'll surrender to your mercy
no matter what anguish awaits me
Oh, how loving you is a splendid form of torture
I cannot escape you, nor do I ever want to
If being in your embrace means comfort comes at a cost of nightmares,
then so be it
for there is no place on earth I'd rather be than buried in your familiar rapture
