comforting extensions
she makes her bed with gentle and refined emotions
in it sleeps pillows that comfort with gracefulness
you lie knowing that dreams will bring delayed notions
color-matching textures placed in evening playfulness
should you require any forgiveness she closely holds you
in need of a paramour where secrets are often never exposed
unless you feel the winter night's chill as it scolds you
safety surrounds you from an exit door open never closed
be with my spirit until the lover returns to my elegance
i'm prepared to forfeit the cloud of luxury where i rest
will you strengthen the love of my suitor in a pretense
can you extent me in my night as a proceeding request
