Like Alice

Silence-
An enveloping melancholy
Masked in glorified attraction-
Running from ashes
Of a buried tale
Running my fingers
Through your hair
As I tumble down
The rabbit hold of uncertainty
Like Alice.

The wells are barren
The wasteland glaciated
Glittering as a prism
Refracting your beauty
Into the many faceted hues
Of a rainbow that leads
To the table where you dine
With a mad hatter
Like Alice.

Roaring vigorously now
The turbulent seas of my desire
Drifting along with gratitude
For your salvation-
A tea cup amidst a tidal wave-
Tossed and battered
Drowning in your embrace
Just a little girl lost in a dream
Trying to find a way home
Like Alice.
