Affinity

Tenderness of the words make them vulnerable

Their reflections are subtle and slant away from harshness

Offer their comfort as a soft pillow on which emotions rest

Sluggish rays at the end of day does have melancholic feel

Yet, the heart believes in the slender chances to redeem

This pause has a different cadence of soulful recitation

Hoping for a peaceful night with an elegant Ode

As breathing settles down after sighing moments

Tender words feel with this heart to articulate feelings
