Then Again, I Do Not Fear At All; I Smile Through It

I fear I may have lost myself temporarily
Went on a trip and forgot to come home
Swam through a sea
Lost as a fish with a five second memory
Afraid of my own reflection
Today I showed up at my own doorstep
And did not recognize the girl before me
The entire time I thought I was grasping for help
Untrue
I was calling for myself
To offer my own hands,
To raise me to my own two feet
And while the journey was important, none of that matters
Because today I came home
And I really missed myself.

Welcome to Wonderland; Population- Unknown

Silly girl fell down the rabbit hole
Chased by a heart she couldn't quite hold
Bring forth your story that no one had told
Don't lie, kind heart; remember yourself
Be cruel not to me, nor to those you have shelved
Books have no room upon their own home
For this love I have pushed down the well waits there, alone
Drenched with hope and dissatisfaction
Forgive me, for I have been saved and lost
All by one who kissed my forehead every chance he got
I can never forget, no matter how bad the fall skinned my knee
Little Alice forgot, love isn't just make believe

You Be The Cat, I'll Be The Mouse

Cat got your tongue, silly girl?
Not a chance
Words flow forth like a plague
Nothing to keep my mind from spilling out
Caught only by the attention we trade
Thoughts nearly drip to the floor
Laying along side my jaw
Oh how you tempt me
Tease with a grin
Tell me your secrets so I might learn to sin
Sin properly
Educated as I am,
There is so much left to absorb
Ignore the lesson and remember to play
Cat got your tongue, my dear friend?
You who are deep, bold and oh so inviting?
Not a chance.
Separate from sin, we learn
Taught by laughter, a smile and an understanding meant for two
Cat caught a tongue, young loves?
Not one, and never two alone
Together, a new experience
We take it as it's ripe, never a moment too late
Nor a moment too soon
So we wait
Cat got your tongue?

Poetic Tragedy

Perfect love
Within fear of love
Cannot exist
Close your eyes
Fall into each
And every perfect kiss
Hold none back
Take a hand
Hold your heart forward
As an offering
Take my heart
Keep it safe
I'll keep yours
Forever far from harm
Love it as my own, and more
Promise to care
Promise to try
Should we give up
Please remain kind
I will love you forever
Even when I feel
That I no longer can
That is perfect love
Soaked in all its imperfections.

Oblivion.

I don’t think words will ever be strong enough
To describe the way I felt
The closest I can come is
That it was like,
The deepest ocean pulled me in and carried me to the sun,
Placed me in a raincloud
And let me fall
All over greenest forest you’ve ever seen
Then I grew within every flower to bloom,
Only to fall within the earth and rest,
Waiting for the next rain
While I wait, birds sing for me
Beckoning your voice
Enchanting us, together
Into a world neither of us knew existed
We fell together
Beneath the soil,
Beneath the gardens,
Beneath the ocean who carried me once before
Our bodies became one
And our souls intertwined with the billions of stars
Blanketing us
Your lips
My lips
Two hearts, now one
That’s what loving you was like.
