About Alice
Climb up the seas and jump in the mountains…
Swim on the lands and weep with the fountains…
Laugh at the sands and dream with the stars…
Crawl in the dark and smile through her scars…
Wake up to the sun and meet twilight…
Dance with the moon and sleep beneath the skylight…
The shards of glass cry and taper her soul…
They tell everybody the stories untold…
Intense are the musings of this fairyland queen…
Who walks in her kingdom as if it is a dream…
Gone are the days when the sun kissed her…
Today her world is nothing but a motion blur…
The kingdom of truth and the kingdom of pain…
Lingers on for Alice to love and rein it again…
So Alice sits and awaits her charming prince…
But the mayhem of wait makes her wince…
She ponders over love’s twist of fate…
And realizes it’s dusk and already too late…
The sunflowers of her garden have already dried…
And she knows she will never be his bride…
Her dream of happiness comes crashing down…
And her velvet stilettos tear her wedding gown…
She weeps in despair till the night envelopes her…
And the wild animals cloak her in their fur…
She regrets ever loving the man of her dreams…
And wakes up in tears and screams…
The wounds cripple her thoughts and fantasies…
And leave her unarmed amongst the wild daisies…
But the rays of realization suddenly dawn upon her neverland…
And she once again sings the songs of the farther lands…
whoaaa….that is some amazing piece of work….love every bit of it… Lady, you’re surely in love….it shows the strength of your character…its rocking!!!
Kudos…!!!
Thanks Aarti…its been ages since i have written like this…dont you think so?
Ohhhhh…..very gud work, really cherished….keep writin such nice thins, n keep postin….just luved it…:-)
Thanks a ton Akash…
but with nothing to loose she dreams again,
and sees him clutching her in her arms
wish dreams could come true,
wish he was here, wish he would look in those eyes
and see the love within
——————————
and one day he came back,
maybe he was meant to…
maybe dreams do come true when they are dreamt truly
oops…”clutching her in his arms”…pls change!
if dreams were meant to come true then they would have already… then probably Earth would be called Eutopia… sadly that isnt the case…however we can still wait for the eternal truth…after all that is the hope of life….

I generally don’t like poetry. But there are always exceptions!
I somehow get the impression that you have been on the saddest roads of life.
@ Amit- Thanks… everybody goes through those sad roads of life…but i guess few pen it…
“everybody goes through those sad roads of life…but i guess few pen it…”
So true… ***sigh***
your current quote is so true.
@ Nimmy- Thanks babe…
@ Withering Willow- Its one of my favourite dialogues from the TV series ’sex and the city’
The kingdom of truth and the kingdom of pain…
