Beyond the place of metaphor symbols signed in signature of the dream in Jungian wondering what I came for... down the alley to the street where the light blinded my eye through the slop of back door greet gripping brick of corridor-- I found my way head first. See me tumble from the ledge an edge of corners in a curve... Stumble-neat in words' defeat-- again--again-- and never learned where the cursive leads the pen and curlicues of whispering wishing for a finger's scratch across the nose and into thatch of a fevered skin's concede-- tell me this and swear me that no chalice now to catch the bleed... Here, there is enough of me. Pull the rabbit from the hat. (Yes, it's true, I'm late again.) Alice, through the looking glass drank the medicine of Arts lusting for the look of Hearts-- it's good to be the Queen. Watch me jump the horse of hedge and edge the corners over curve-- stumble in the repartee'-- and dive across the ditch of yearn. Just a brush of ledges luck-- as ivy danced the brass spittoon shadowed tarnish of the edge that curls upon itself in beg praying please, "Oh don't give up." The oath that yes, "I'll be home soon." Tell me that you love me too? And even if it is not true, then lie to me-- and swear purpose dancing in the ruby shoes tapping codes "no place like home" as if to think we had thought twice deciding which side was the hole... I found the picture side of me-- there within the PDR, a picture captioned with "Drink ME." A picture of the star... |

The Jack of Hearts is holding hands with Alice as she runs through lands and holds in dream this part of me, a bit of rhyme, and fantasy... ~*~ Goodness, I do believe you woke up PS... but would you please step back from my mirror?  Enjoyed this greatly... and then some. Hugs...K  Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? [This message has been edited by Sunshine (04-13-2003 08:57 AM).] |

this is a wickedly delicious poem. you are taken to some many amazing visuals that by themselves would hold their own in a poem but they are so well transitioned to in this piece. So now where is my jefferson airplane? |

Grin--I was gonna go into my Grace Slick routine, but then realized I swore I'd never imitate her again--after watching Jim Carey do the superb karoake routine in "Cable Guy" (he performed "Somebody To Love") I swore there was no way anyone could follow that--not even Ms. Slick herself--so, I guess I'll have to pass--this time. (y'just got luck folks... )Thanks for reading once again. Ya'll are all perfectly groovy...  |
