Random Poem:

Caution: the inevitable pull of cliche
unknown

Come darling, let us throw
 1
caution to the wind
 2
and run, run away from
 3
here. Leave those petty
 4
words hanging in the air
 5
and your suit jacket on
 6
the chair. Ignore all politicians
 7
and silly wars, turn our
 8
heads away from broken
 9
laws.Neglect all rules of
 10
our roles, add disloyalty to
 11
all protocols.Wed all benefits
 12
to all risks, divorce all
 13
well-respected habits.
 14
Forward all obligations
 15
to eternity, fake a
 16
well-behaved obituary.
 17
 
 
Come let us pour wine
 18
until overflow and sleep all
 19
day in each other's clothes.
 20
Feast until we distort our belts,
 21
sing and shout until hoarse
 22
throats. Kiss without a
 23
conditional care, remind all
 24
gods we don't care. Make
 25
love until we fall on the floor
 26
and then make more love
 27
until we're sore.
 28
Come my darling
 29
let us throw caution
 30
to the wind,
 31
to disintegrate
 32
into our
 33
dreams.
