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???
