Aliceprismed She surrounds me, this Alice. Wherever I go, she is always looking over my shoulder, giving me raised eyebrows, blaming me with heard words, faulting me in her evasive way, (not there when I turn to catch her, sneering at me.) She is prismed in my soul, every thought encased within, holding me to her, in ghostlike trance, swaying me into neverland. She has bound me in her debt, confined in the fog of early morn, when thoughts rescued by dreamers have not yet discharged into the light of day. Time steals her crystal facade, a veneer, window-dressed only for me. Beneath the surface, she chips away until one day She will become I and I shall become prismed, as Alice steps through and I am pulled back, becoming AliceBehindGlass. ~A~ [This message has been edited by Alicethruglass (edited 11-08-2001).] |

AliceThruGlass~ There are so many facets of you reflected in your poetry~ I've learned that I love each of them for different reasons~  You are writing some mighty fine poetry, my friend~ This is stunning~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

A small glimpse at a multi-faceted jewel..that's the image I'm getting from this tiny self-portrait, Alice. It's very well written. "Time steals her crystal facade, a veneer, window-dressed only for me." [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (edited 11-08-2001).] |

She has bound me in her debt, confined in the fog of early morn, when thoughts rescued by dreamers have not yet discharged into the light of day This is such a piece for pondering...may take a pleasant while. Nice to read you, again. |

this is so indepth, yes, the looking glass where everything is not always reflected. I think this is one of the most special poems I've read in awhile. -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- |

~*Marge*~..I am not so sure about stunning, well maybe I was stunned into writing these feelings..truly I am waiting for the day that my world seems right and I no longer have to express in poetry but can live it all instead. I thank you for your very nice and uplifting comments today. Midnitesun...your reading and response is one readson I enjoy posting here. Thank you. Some days I think I should not look into that mirror. doreen...when you compliment me this way, I feel arriving at some higher level, finally. Thank you for reading me inside out and outside in. Duncan... every morning, early I rise. I look into that mirror seeing my soul or that of Alice's. Dreams are still fresh, beginning to fog though as reality sets in as the sun begins it's rise to a new day. Not sure if that explains it any better..and I am always held in Alices debt as she stands there watching my every move. Magnus ...Nice to see you. Thank you for reading and enjoying my expressions. The Lady of Shallot..I always enjoy you enjoying my words. I hope your days are continuing to improve. Irish Rose..hey if I knock her out, I go down for the count too..then what? Take care Lady In White...I wish it were my mother..*s... I have come to realize, she is a much stronger person than I. Thank you ~A~ [This message has been edited by Alicethruglass (edited 11-10-2001).] |
