Mad As a Hatter

Alice in Wonderland 
Was my favorite book as a kid
I used to pretend that I was Alice
Having tea with the Mad Hatter 
And the March Hare
But now I pretend that I am the Mad Hatter
For my mind is unhinging itself
Breaking away from reality
Till I can no longer recall
What is real and what is a dream
My emotions often get the best of me
But I have learned to smother them
But sometimes like a pot on the stove 
It boils over and out
And I can't contain it
My mind is and becomes a freight train 
Ramming itself against my skull
At 8, 11, at 1 in the morning 
It is constantly running 
And it never stops
I can't tell anyone about this
They'll think I'm insane
But what can I say
My mind is my own Wonderland 
And I am but just the Mad Hatter

Oh Come Ye Child

Oh come ye child
To the land of the fey
Where dragons roam
And fairies play
Where the music is 
Both soft and wild
Oh come, oh come
Oh come ye child!

My Sweet Divine

Before I go 
My sweet divine
And embark the forbidden hands of time
I shall ask of you one thing 
As I stand before you 
I see you crumble 
Sweet liquid luck 
Runs down your face 
But to you it doesn't seem so lucky 
You beg me to stay 
And scream my name 
And whisper sweet nothings 
Why, oh why 
Do you set my heart on fire 
With words instead of flames
Promise me you'll remember 
The day we first met 
Your hair in a bun
And your smile so sweet 
Like the earth of the Summer beneath

Go To Sleep

To the girl writing poetry at 2 am
Stop
You are beautiful 
You're like the moon if the moon ever came down to earth
You are more precious than a single moon beam shining down through my open window
at night as I lay there wishing for sleep to come
tossing and turning trying to find the power button to turn off my restless mind
You 
You are beautiful 
Your mind is beautiful 
And I know you write these poems because it is your way of bleeding 
and these words that you bleed flow and ebb in way that makes me jealous 
That makes me awe you
And in the morning I know
You'll feel refreshed and light
But dearie
Put the pencil down
Put the paper up
It is now 3 am
Go to sleep

One More Minute

Today was the day 
The world stood still 
Nothing moved
Nothing spoke 
The only noise 
Was the rain that fell
From misty windows
Of souls that have
Been shattered
One more minute 
And it would've saved 
Us a weeks worth of 
Waiting 
One more minute 
And ashes would've 
Already been scattered 
And yet 
One more minute 
To think that thought 
Through 
Would have saved us All
And, As he leaves this world 
He leaves ripples 
In the waters of time
