Alice?A Poem by MinorArtSomething rather odd I scribbled in a few minutes and I'm Not exactly sober so hey ho
But, my dear, this isn't wonderland
And you are not Alice You are not Alice Not Alice Not Alice Alice Alice? Alive Not Alive You are not alive I could've sworn I was I felt my pulse Intense Through my fingertips, aching With every beat Against my temples Painful, almost But I felt the beat I smelt the blood I tasted life I was alive Am I alive? Alive Alive with what? With nonsense, transferable, from life to life Through generations The concern. Petty poor concern I'm alive with fear Does that make me dead? I'm heavy in the heart, I'm sprawled, Spent In bed. I think Maybe I think too much, but how could I not? I'm on the brink And in the blink of an eye I miss my queue and I sink... I sink through bottomless pits Dragging with me dreams of indelible marks I leave in years to come because I tried and I tried and I finally made magic in ink.. Slivers of something big Seeping through me Slow In sync With all the beats and pumps As if I've been pricked Pricked with tricks of life and wind Links Between me and my past cracking open, immersed in flickers of blues and fires My dreams shrink Shriek Call for my help but I'm glued to my seat Thick Thick and sticky, the air is sweet Leaks in my conscience I forget to be meek I'm being witty instead and it makes you tick Tick like you do when rage is hot Piping, surging through your lips Building hatred on that tongue, rolling on the tip And I taste venom in your spit It trickles into me I dribble Wasted on the liquor Cheap Look at me Just look at me Stare long enough so it makes you sick So you know I'm sick I'm sick Sick Sick enough to think I skip in fields of ice cream cones and bricks Bricks in houses made for licking; sweet Sweet and sticky, nothing tricky Just stick your mind in it and eat Eat up every little bite of it Before you hear the.. TIK... TOK TIK and that monster whispering But, my dear, this isn't Wonderland And you are not Alice © 2016 MinorArtReviews
