Stay Home

Sanctuary. Cradle of contentment

As the day winds down.

Craving of the working stiff

From 8 AM til the whistle blows.

Longing desperately to

Cross her threshold

And to melt into her arms

Where I’ll be safely settled.,

Coddled in her restful womb.

Not a thought of leaving her

Outside of grave necessity.

Feet propped up, the dishes done,

TV rolling out its’ senseless drivel

Drowning, droning until

Eyelids gently fall to peaceful slumber.

Now the day forgot,

If only for a little while.

No more obligations this day.

No more rat race cluttering the mind.

Content to let the world go by.

Content to just stay home.
