UFO Green (Example of Romance)
Dedicated to Jolais.
UFO Green
We sailed on a boat
of U.F.O green.
Unidentified flying object, someone told me -
well, our unidentified love was flying on the sea,
pulled out by the wind
and stretched out in a shadow of our sun. Pirate ships
could not catch us, overdosing on their emerald pills
and rum.
We spent months on our chinese spacecraft, jaded and myrtle in
those ebony blanketed stars. Watch out! My alien subtraction, my divide,
my multiply and plus and the scientific acid and the language-filled tongue.
We swam across the sky
painted U.F.O green.
It wasn't the most beautiful colour -
people in their ant-sized fantasy hollered 'Puke.'
and we didn't care and we didn't run scared and we acknowledged
our hallucinations in their unidentified lime; such lime that
we acknowledged our memories of tequila
and salt.
We spent months on our chinese spacecraft, jaded and myrtle in
those ebony blanketed stars. Watch out! Please watch out, my alien subtraction, my divide,
my multiply and plus and the scientific acid and the language-filled tongue, sad now, without words to speak of the old fable that once was romance.

The author encourages honest critique.
It's full of magic and surreality that keeps my head in the fantasy but pushes me above it in parts, like a bird's eye view. Yes, even without drugs. Great head you've got, Miss. :)

Thank you, Jolais - and I seem to think I've lost that skill at the minute - maybe a little delusional... :)
