Alien Rendezvous
He came and took me in the night.
I do not know what world I am in.
We went on quite the space flight.
He energized me from within.
I had taken off my silk kaftan
And I slipped bare between the white
Sheets that were soon ripped from my skin.
He came and took me in the night.
My house was quickly out of sight.
My body now caught in a whirlwind.
Stars around dimmed to candlelight.
I do not know what world I am in.
I felt my bare flesh wearing thin.
Spiraling toward a distant light.
As we landed, I read, “Neptune’s Inn.”
We went on quite the space flight.
The alien probed me with all his might.
He left no crevice unhidden.

He energized me from within.
It far exceeded earthly men.
I feed his alien appetite.
My former self is now a has-been.
Alien love is my new plight . . .
He took me
