Dying Wonder
I sat beside her bed stand, And watched her weary frown, The days are shorter now and easy, But Alice is not coming around. In one arm grasps a stuffed white rabbit, The other a blood stained cloth, Of the tireless days she tried to die but alas, could not be sought. The asylum's still and quiet as I eye her swollen wrists, My eye slits narrow and I hum a sigh at remembrance back amidst. A gentle moan entices me and I lean across her frame, She clutches her rabbit and pale lips move as if to call my name. I take her hand and grasp it tightly, victim to her song. I gulp once, then slightly twice, and ask her what is wrong. Looking back I feel but sorrow as her hand begins to slip, I shake my head and grab her palms to replenish my sweaty grip. She tells me of a wonderland but how am I too tell? This topsy-turvy fancy? Is it heaven? Is it hell? She giggles faintly and stifles a smile, Then lowers her eyes in vain, My wonderland is heaven. Til release me from my pain. She says these things but never, Has a world so come emerged, She tells me of a pussycat, A demon that's been purged, Into her dreams and wont come out, Until she says choice words. She says she's mad, She tells me things she's never said before, I'm scared for her in doubt of her, but quoted nevermore, For I closed my eyes, the rabbit dropped onto the floor. The Cheshire cat will claim another soul; Forever more.

All I Wanted All I wanted was to be loved And to be given the chance to be a beautiful dove So you took me to the cove And there you drove Me insane And here I wait in dreadful pain In this padded room I have sealed my doom To thee I give thy heart For now I dare not part With my body in check Now with my broken neck.

Truth of life Quiet, surreal, endless nothing that comsumes all and entails all to bring eternal realization that we exist to preform upon the stage that we set for ourselves. and deeper still to the nothing the darkness lurks to take those who have fallen from their own state and will enter the darkness and be fit to be alone for all time and then in their own dispare they find the loneliness to be deafening and deathly silent at the same time, though they lose themselves in the darkness of their own sorrow twinfold within the dakness of life and existence the rest of my poems

Before I Lay me Down to Sleep Before I lay me down to sleep I pray my soul I may keep In a world full of lies and hate I pray my anger can always wait Until the day I know I’m damned To step foot into his filthy land And before I lay me down to sleep I pray my soul I may keep From the creatures that haunt me night and day Beckoning me to always to turn the wrong way Before I lay me down to sleep I pray my life I may keep If I should die before I wake Let me be the one who made that mistake ~*~ Nyahahaha fear my crappyness! Anyway, this will be turned into a song, with just these 14 lines heart It's kinda my version of that prayer "Now I Lay me Down to Sleep"...

That's nice Morticia. Sounds a bit familar... can't quite say what it resembles though whee
Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things. The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away

Oh, I know why it sounds familiar now!
There's an old english prayer called "Now I lay me down to sleep" whee
The third and fourth lines are as follows:
"Before I lay me down to sleep, I give my soul to Christ to keep."

Oh, that's a cool one, Aria. *makes mental note of it* Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden lived there by whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee;- And this maiden lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea; But we loved with a love that was more then love- I and my Annabel Lee- With a love that the winged seraphs in Heaven coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling My beautiful Annabel Lee; So that her high-born kinsmen came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulchre, In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, Went envying her and me- Yes!- And that is the reason (as all men know, in this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night, Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older then we- Of many far wiser than we- And neighter then angels in Heaven above, Or the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;-
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams, Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;- And so, all the night-tide, I lie by the side Of my darling-my darling- my life and my bride, In her sepulchre there by the sea- In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Oooh, Edgar Allan Poe!
There's a poem by Edgar Allan Poe called Israfel that I like but I'm too lazy to type it up... sweatdrop
According to theology, Israfel was the archangel's whose music will end the world on the Day of Judgment or something like that.
*searches for it on internet*
In Heaven a spirit doth dwell Whose heart-strings are a lute; None sing so wildly well As the angel Israfel, And the giddy stars (so legends tell), Ceasing their hymns, attend the spell Of his voice, all mute.
Tottering above In her highest noon, The enamoured moon Blushes with love, While, to listen, the red levin (With the rapid Pleiads, even, Which are seven) Pauses in Heaven.
And they say (the starry choir And the other listening things) That Israfeli's fire Is owing to that lyre By which he sits and sings, The trembling living wire Of those unusual strings.
But the skies that angel trod, Where deep thoughts are a duty, Where Love's a grown-up God, Where the Houri glances are Imbued with all the beauty Which we worship in a star.
Therefore thou art not wrong, Israfeli, who despisest An unimpassioned song; To thee the laurels belong, Best bard, because the wisest: Merrily live, and long!
The ecstasies above With thy burning measures suit: Thy grief, thy joy, thy hate, thy love, With the fervor of thy lute: Well may the stars be mute!
Yes, Heaven is thine; but this Is a world of sweets and sours; Our flowers are merely--flowers, And the shadow of thy perfect bliss Is the sunshine of ours.
If I could dwell Where Israfel Hath dwelt, and he were I, He might not sing so wildly well A mortal melody, While a bolder note than this might swell From my lyre within the sky.
