The Other Side

Comfort in Dark Times

By Chris SantiagoPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

I awake in the depth of darkness

Groping searching for your caress

The fear and heat envelop me

Covered in sweat wrapped in duress

In the gloom impossible to see

Panic consumes, dread ensues

Too dreary bleary to flee

Bladder full no strength to pee

At last then I touch you

Feel your skin made of cloth

I Embrace you in my sloth

That remembered treasure

The cool on my flesh a wash

As I lay my head upon you

A sweet intoxicating pleasure

Calming my fears

Drinking in my tears

Sleep soon follows

The other side

Of the pillow

Chris Santiago

I've always found a bit peace and release in putting word to written medium. I'm by no means an accomplished wordsmith but I find enjoyment in it. My love for writing started from world building that being a dungeon master provided.
