Dollface

Dollface

A Poem by Aria

Sweet, sweet mockingbird

I'm nothing like what you've heard

Sugar and spice and everything nice

Just makes it easier to swallow my ice

 

Twinkle, twinkle little star

I'm only porcelain from afar

The perfume of roses only covers

The sweet scent of all my little lovers

 

Lace, satin and silk

Makes you want a cup of my milk

Lick your lips in the garden

But you'll never get too far in

 

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

Nothing you do will make me want your trick

Yet the image of me in my tower is so haunting

You'll never think the climb too daunting

 

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Rage wars for just one taste of my sin

Trying foolishly to put me back together

When I'm the one controlling the weather

 

Sweet, sweet mockingbird

I'm nothing like what you've heard

Sugar and spice and everything nice

Just makes it easier to swallow my ice

 

Twinkle, twinkle little star

I'm only porcelain from afar

The perfume of roses only covers

The sweet scent of all my little lovers

Author's Note

Aria
not promoting anything negative towards women, especially since I am one. Just wanted to do a fun piece where the woman, who is always frilly, pretty and the damsel, be the one in charge. Who says men are the ones who get to have all the fun?

And I know the line usually reads, Sweet, sweet, nightingale (from cinderella right? thats the reference i was going for) i used 'mockingbird' for a reason. hope you guys figure out why. :) as always, thanks for reading and enjoy!

I don't do well with talking about myself so I will simply say that my writing sets the stage for my imagination to play. But more than that, every piece I write, whether a poem or novel, is a bit of .. more..
