On a Wave of Fantasy

I drank an overdose of ale
The bubbly liquid left me intoxicated
It took me away on a wave of fantasy
I levitated and flew to the galaxies
All my possessions I left behind

It was an exciting nocturnal odyssey
Clouds of myriad patterns brushed past me
In the silence and seclusion of the sky
All I sought was the lovely face of my 'Eurydice'
All I desired was to hold her hand
Could we gyrate in an immortal rhythm
To be forever an Orpheus and Eurydice

I held firm to her hand
Through the dark alleys I raced
Never looking back, even when fear plagued me
I was eager to leave behind the world of the dead
Reaching a safe spot, I looked behind
Where is my 'Eurydice'? Had she disappeared into thin air?
Like a gecko that drops its tail
Her amputated arm shivered in my hand
Or did my hand shiver in hers???

Yikes, think we've all done that on the odd occasion Valsa, best of it is I don't have to touch a drop to enjoy the journey into fantasy. Tom

Loved your poem with its fantasies and voyages. Funny my wife got drunk on a small bottle of cider. She never drank alcohol again.
