As the Long Day Ends

As the long day ends  

~

     Padded poetic phrases recline,
                softness invites extended stays
    within deep cushioned desires
        comfort stitched of woven words
   Arm chair wishes beneath pressed tin ceilings
                offer relaxation penned in durable ink
    Put your feet up, clear your mind while 
           literary whispers relieve burdens
        in past tense delusions, quietly wafting
  as dreams take flight upon pillowed emotions
Cozy creations silently soothe 
       tired thoughts and anguished promises,
    calming sunset endeavors
as the long day ends

Good night Soupers
