A Lyrical Proposition Poem by Stephen S. Yeandle

A Lyrical Proposition

Rating: 5.0


Let’s take our holiday
beneath the sheets.

Break the chains of all
restraints.

No good mornings,
no good nights.

We’ll move to the rhythm of
a private beat.

Twenty four hours,
we’ll set the goal.

The lake will flood
but the levee won’t break.

A bullet proof
encounter,
that’ll last for a day.

'Ferris' Wheels and
Roller Coaster rides.

A carnival event.

It won't matter if
it's day or night.

Again
and
again
until
we
get
it
right.

Lyrical indeed, replete with clever imagery. Great ending, tho' the end isn't the point!
