Oh these pillows of mine,
So many tears
Cried on you.
Witness
To all so many frustrations
And sorrows.
So many hugs shared
In compensation
For failures
And delusions.
Oh these pillows of mine,
In the place of the beloved…
Comfortably
Comforting me.
Confident
Of all my inner
And more obscure
Secrets…

Pillows can be very comforting at times. I love the poem. :)
Yup, we all love our pillows, they're our real best friends.
I am constantly amazed at how well you match the image to the words.
A sad yet universal poem. Love the image.
Ah, beautiful, to dream of a love and wake to the pillow he once laid his head, the essence of him still lingering in that moment upon waking,trying to capture that moment, man, I love this! :)
A poem to pillows. Great writing.
Ha ha ha...Yes Dr., even pillows- or especially pillows- deserve a good (or better) writing.
Thank you: these series of short poems lead somewhere> from & to my bed.
Tomorrow we'll see-

You are all great friends> I love your comments.
Something very personal seems to be lurking--not hiding--in your words, Dulce.
Dark Wings said it all and said it well.
Dulce, you know I look forward each day to your word-thoughts. Is this series written "fresh" daily, or are they from your own archives?
Sweet peace to you, dear.
Ah, the wonderful and comforting pillow!
It's always there to catch our tears.
I so enjoy your writing, Dulce.
It has such a intimate quality to it.
