Quilted Plush Horizon

~

The sky looks like a mattress
a pillow-top it seems
A quilted plush horizon
where I just left my dreams

I really should have stayed there
all nestled in my bed
With visions of the one I love
adrift within my head

But now that I am out here
to brave the freezing cold
My eyes still gaze towards the east
and if the truth be told

No matter if I’m sleeping
or up, the day is new
My mind will always see the same
because my dream is you

~



Actually the clouded sky on my way home last night 
looked like a pillow-top mattress. I just saved the 
inspiration for this morning. : )

Gershon Wolf Date: 11/12/2019 2:24:00 PM '--a quilted plush horizon where just left my dreams...' Remarkable bit of phrasing there, Chris. Of course, that's 'par for the course.' I, for one, will never take it for granted however. Bravo! Login to Reply Chris Green Date: 11/12/2019 2:29:00 PM Thanks my friend. I think I was tired this morning, every thing looked like a bed to me. : )

Ronald D Thompson Date: 11/12/2019 2:11:00 PM Quilted plush horizon...now why can't I think of phrases like that? I love to read your poems Chris but the double edge sword is that it highlights my inadequacies..Great work. Ron :) Login to Reply Chris Green Date: 11/12/2019 2:28:00 PM Oh come on now, you give me too much credit and not enough to yourself. I am still laughing over the carrot reply to my comment on your Christmas shopping poem. My friend what I do with weird word combinations cannot compare to the humor I find in your work. But thank you for saying so in your kind comment.

Did you find the hidden meaning, that I would have rather just stayed in bed today? : ) Just kidding, I appreciate your kindness always.
