The Seductress pillow

Born to tempt, till the day we sleep

Tempted

It’s the silence that follows the alarm

An awkward silence

A lapse in judgment

A whisper, you get closer

The moment you close your eyes

To its soft bosom

You feel you’re going home to your dreams again

Beware, it’s a seductress pillow

It puts you back to sleep, so slow

What is happening to you, you wouldn’t know

Cheating on your early-morning commitments

You decide to sleep with the seductress pillow

I loved how you termed the pillow as seductress as it tempts us to sleep on it by cheating on our early-morning commitments.

Interesting, unique idea Ashwin...temptation is an age old catch it seems...how many do not face it in one way or another, choice is often forgotten...I enjoyed this...
