a Midnight tryst

The once in a lifetime adventure took place two weeks ago.

It was a clear, starry night. The moon was bright.

It was a scary flight yet the fear made it more thrilling.

Going out was reckless but we sought the temptress, adventure.

We went with nothing but clothes on our backs and money of course.

Away we went, faster and faster we rode. We danced to the beat.

We toured the streets. Until we reached our destination.

It was a relief to arrive unscathed. I was happy. He was unperturbed.

I walked ahead. He strutted along, unaware of the stares.

I asked him, what do you want? He looked and looked.

At last, he pointed and spoke, "burger".

Alas, the spell was broken! Everyone rejoiced!

They too were thrilled. After a brief interlude, we took our loot.

Then, we waited and waited. For our ride home.

When we went back, there was an uproar. We apologized for the unplanned leaving.

Then, we had a feast.

Too soon, it was over.

As we lay on our backs, our eyes still open, we were still aware of the adventure that we just had.

It would not be forgotten, forever it will linger.

We faced each other and grinned, it turned to giggles to f ull laughter.

Oh what a day it was. what a day indeed!



PS. This was my poor attempt at creating something lyrical or poetic. chalk it up to lack of sleep. Oh, as a consequence, he suffered from too much sweets. Tsk,tsk. Adventure does have its rewards, but sometimes, it pays poorly. But hear this, we had fun. (oh stop!)
