Airborne sea girl plays with fire behind castles
The crackling of fires on bare backed bones
Soil seeping into spread eagled fingertips
Where Orion hangs low on the slope of her shoulders
Unyielding her spine splinters the constellations
And great cacophonies of slack jawed gods and monsters
Hang limply along the water’s edge
Hazel centered fingertips turned over their palms
Clasped around her dragon breath heart
Her honey dew arteries resounding
Behind tiger eye flame sleep songs
Behind burning mantle pieces of embellished
Water works falling from the sky
Siren pools embodied behind her pupils
The architecture of her bones
Hides secrets of gold and stone
Laced between her lotu
Those wishing to be a Knight take a knee
“May courage be your guide
And loving kindness your companion,
Repay all evil acts with fierce compassion.
Defend the defenseless,
bring salve to the suffering
and never suffer those who exploit them.”
The Princess takes the raw iron
And puts it to the fire
To draw out a fierce sword.
May you be a flashing sword in her arsenal
Arise to your new Order
A guardian of Lustra
A Knight of Princess Heart.”

Cheshire Cat's Lullaby
Dear little Alice, please don't cry
Tears of woe won't help you get by
I know that you feel scared, lost and alone
Since you cannot find your way back home
Have strange things happened?
Is there anything I need to know?
Did you taste things that make you shrink or grow?
Did you suffer any, please say it isn't so!
I will help you out, just wait and see
You'd be glad that you found a cat like me
I'll show you around this fascinating place
Only if you keep a smile on your face
No more reading signs that say "This way" or "Yonder"
Now you don't have to sit down and try to ponder
Which way should you go, you ask?
I seem to find that
shhhhh...
everything is alright.
the room may be dark
and the night may feel suffocating
but i swear
all will be better in the morning.
i know you feel alone,
but,
we all do.
each of us thinks that we're the only one.
but i'm here.
i'm here with you,
i always have been, and i get it,
i do.
just breathe through me
until you can breathe on your own again.
hold my hand
until you feel its safe to let go.
i don't mind, really.
use me for what you need, lean on me.
you may think i don't get it,
but i do.
we gravitate toward each other,
because we share something.
we've both been here.
i know how it feels to drown
even wh
Give me a paper
Give me a flame
A pen in my hand
Narrating my shame
Give me a moment
A second in time
To tell you my story
A tale that's all mine
I guarded my heart
But now it lies charred
I gave into hope
Now all hope is marred
You gave me back life
Melted the ice
Kissed me so gently
Did softly entice
I trusted your words
I gave up to you
My body, my soul
And my heart too
Then you turned right around
Mocked me for fun
Laughed at my pain
Remorse you felt none
So here I will burn
In passion, in hate
Betrayed by your touch
But my love won't abate
And when you pick up the embers
Of my last written will
You will know
It comes slowly at first
That unquenchable thirst with which
we are all cursed.
Rest your head against a pillow
Pull the blankets and watch them billow
Still it won't do any good
No it won't do much good
So you think you'll make it out all right?
You think you'll make it through the night?
Curl up against a window
Then pretend you're in limbo
Watch them drag you away
Into a dark sleepy bay
Where the shadows play with light
and sorry souls shout in fright
So you think you'll make it out all right?
You think you'll make it through
the night?
They live inside abandoned wells
And tiny little shells
At dusk they ring a bell
