the mattress is a magnet (Free verse) by silvertongueddevil
the mattress is a magnet
to the warm flesh lonely people
when the world's eye the window
draws its curtain lids
and the late dark hours are tinted
by the light globe spilling yellow.
when all our words have burned
down to embers like a fire,
and our hands have found each other
in the space that's left between us,
we know the mattress is a magnet
to the warm flesh lonely people
you could go back to your home
while i stay here in mine,
and if caution was the dollar
we'd both be poorhouse tenants,
but the mattress is a magnet
to the warm flesh lonely people.
will you stay with me tonight,
we are close as our clothing,
the kisses are not finished,
our hands are still busy,
and the mattress is a magnet
for our flesh tired of the separation.
