Ok my turn. This is supposed to be an art gallery so I decided to add my two cents. This poem is one of two I wrote. These two are unlike my usual writing in the fact their not so dark or twisted. Also if you get lost, dont worry that's semi the point. I tell my friends this and I will tell you, when I wrote these I believe I borrowed my friend's muse, or he got bored an decided to bug me. Any way it happened these two were born. Enjoy
The World of Dark Wonder
The World of Dark Wonder
And down the darkness ringing!
The mirrors shattering one by one
Crash!
Skreash!
Skee!
Sklash!
The code word being...alone
Spirialing into the oneness that is dark
Silver threads sharp as knives
Yet as intangible as withered dreams
Spiral to their final doom
Their ultimate destiny that which being their first begining
Begging to be reborn
Born
Start again
Born again
Stars shattered like hopes
Dashed upon waves when boats sink at that final hour
In the darkest of nights when minds cannot hide and all those present know what is to come
And those too who are not present know and fear
Yet all they can do is shake their heads and shut their eyes hoping not to see
They are that which has come before them
and will be that which is born after
They see and have yet to see
Know and yet know nothing
For nothing is always anything we ever truly know
For all our aculmulated knowledge
We know nothing but words and fast print turned to words
Strung together in this finite world of ours
which is slowly crying out to be saved...
And yet...no one listens
Through the looking glass Alice and to your doom
To your destiny my dear cries the Heart Queen
The heart sword hidden behind her back
As she leads her on and into the mirror which shatters before her
Before she can follow Alice and catch her destiny
for Alice is that which has been left behind her
The epitome of her Majesty's lost youth
and therefore it would come to stand to reason
why she would destroy this girl that represents all she has lost
To cut her link with this girl..
with this symbol of youth!
She vainly hopes to keep all she has
Yet in the end it all falls through her hands like sands...
Of the hourglass and is lost just like her youth
Step through the looking glass children of all age and see
See and live for truly that is all we can do
That is all we have
To live
So the mirror shatters in beautifully ugly pieces upon some unknown floor
And is forgotten
Left for the servant to pick up
And send for us a new one
We will always have a new mirror
A new begining and an old end
The mirrors shattering one by one
Crash!
Skreash!
Skee!
Sklash!
The code word being...alone
Spirialing into the oneness that is dark
Silver threads sharp as knives
Yet as intangible as withered dreams
Spiral to their final doom

Born again

Dashed upon waves when boats sink at that final hour

Here is the second poem, the pair to the first one. Hope you enjoy.
The Deck of Two
And so the heart queen morns as all have left her now
Her kingdom is gone
Shut down
The roses have all died
All the red and white
All the cards have been shred
Too many, "Off with their heads!"
Originally 52 now she is down to one
The King
The little man who loves his queen bloated with ego
It is she who hath destroyed her kingdom
All gone
All dark
Alice
The one shining light is gone
The light has fled
The light that could have saved the selfish queen
The pompous queen who loved nothing but beauty
. Selfish beauty who loved her own most of all
The king who only wanted peace in his kingdom
He is left
The rabbit back down his hole
Gone along with his watch
No more I'm late
Late
He was always late
Not anymore
Run little rabbit
Run back heart rabbit
Back to your imaginary rabbit hole
The tea party gone
The mad hatter is now sane
The crazy rabbit has been taken to his special room
With the white padded walls and his special white jacket
The mouse
Yesss...the poor tea mouse
He is dead
Or asleep
Your choice
Done in by sugar
Or just asleep in it
All the characters are gone
Save the queen..
The bright crazy, chaotic world of wonder.
The kingdom of hearts
All fled into Alice's dream
Maybe she will be a better Heart Queen
Will you rule better Alice?
Oh but look here..we still have the ex queen
What will you do now Oh proud queen?
What will you do?
Now you have lost everything cept that patheic little king
The one card that you didn't lose
Tis all you have left
What will you do now oh ex Queen of Hearts?
Your beauty all gone
Your roses and cards too
Your color, and wonder
Dark
All that is asked...
What will you do now?
What now heart queen?
Her kingdom is gone
Shut down
The roses have all died
All the red and white
All the cards have been shred
Too many, "Off with their heads!"
