Trying to escape Broken mind dulled low to forget the pain living in this reality with nothing to gain And as in a dream down the rabbit hole, we go My sweet Alice, in madness, paid the queen's costly toll For I both rabbit and hatter would lead you on, into the eternal hope of this nights coming dawn reflected in looking glass, a black hole sun it became Wonderland was always real, and this life just a mad game Previous and before my existence with nothing to say Dawn to dusk I would toil spirit slowly fading away Neither dead nor alive leaving just a sad grin My life a facade, ill fated role to be cast in Then my Alice appeared, like a muse from mythic antiquity compelled inward journey to explore our souls eternal mystery Awakening a passion I thought was to oblivion lost My eyes fixed on that light, I must follow no matter the cost A Poison to ingest, as catalyst, reaching outside of time a metamorphosis, raising conscience, seeking or becoming the divine Cut to a walrus and carpenter on a beach, but out of reach, this dogma seems so low voice over to all they preach, habits teach, these forms of subtle yet demonic mind control Tow the line and pay your tax or might 'swell be dead For king and queen preside over a court where justice has fled DA presents first verdict, then sentence, before testimony is read As the tweedle Dees and Dums stare blankly chanting off with her head For sanity, I do see, here tis madness they label But this madness, a poets heart, will allow me free thoughts to be able to put back together the pieces of broken souls other sought to bind Then In wonderland I would dwell leaving this place far behind For a poets soul my friends is what I did find, When this White rabbit followed Alice and left all behind And Alice has gone on now to her own wonderland Full of mysteries, and beaches with white velvet sand Twas Brillig in our love reflected dawns gentle glow, Emotions dance, behind my eyes, a vivid and eternal show. Words take flight, into her heart, in verses they soar, The Universe, it speaks through me, A tapestry of feelings to explore. Through lines that rhyme and verses blend, My life A poem, its story divinely penned. From depths of heart to the page it springs A melody of words, the poet sings. In ebb and flow, emotions collide, A Painting of images, makes dreams come alive. With each verse I create illusions become real The desires and love I want her to feel So let the words of my passion, like wild rivers flow, A symphony of thoughts my gifts to bestow, That precious moment captured, our energies frozen in time, The poem and the poet will be forever intertwined. Past love now gone, happiest of my times let that passion play forever As I perfect it through my mind.
