Responsibility is overrated

by Shannon McEwen

On this rather dull day
I wish I might, I wish I may
Sleep a dreamless sleep today
Wash away this shade of grey
To somewhere far, far away
Keep all deep thoughts at bay
Leave old issues where they lay

Fiery kisses and my wicked way
Let’s just take this day to play
Let our hips and lips display
Limbs and clothes in disarray
Love me like an old cliché
Take away this cold dismay
Looking out at this dull day

...shannon, you have a new admirer...a lovely lilt-ish "cute" but a yearning day...for real...the rhyme works...

"lilt-ish" is a perfect word choice from Charlie! Very well done Shannon. It evokes many different feelings and thoughts in me. I very much like when a poem can do that! Welcome to Pathetic.
