NEVER IN WONDERLAND

I wish grabbing onto frazzled roots,
And snapping twigs
Could stop me from falling down this love chute.
Tip the hatter and kiss the rabbit
As I chase you I’m a Cheshire cat.
I’m the queen of red
Happy as Twiddle Dum next to Twiddle Dee.
Can you see me looking through the looking glass?
Or is the rose tint in my eyes only?
Will I ever wake?
Is it just a dream?
Can I stay in Neverland,
A little girl lost in love?
As I run from the ticking clock
Love’s jaws snap at me
What can I say? I’m hooked.

FILIPENDULOUS

(Hanging by a thread)

When you play tug of war with another’s heart,
Letting go isn’t always an option.
You might nose dive into a pit of muddy despair,
But if you’re already there
Just let the thread snap.

I fall in the pit now and again.
The thread tends to twist into a noose,
And my heart slips, losing it’s grip.
As you tug at my heart strings I feel them strain,
Playing my heart’s chords
Churning out hopeful melodies
And disastrous rhapsodies until my heart becomes blue.
I am filipendulous more often than not,
Throw me two strings from your heart
Feed life through my one
Let us make 3 cords eternally unable to be broken!
Till the day you look over the cliff edge
Till you feel the weight of heart swinging in love’s breeze
Still I’ll hang.
