A WONDERLAND WITHIN

A WONDERLAND WITHIN

A Poem by An owl on the moon
"

So many perceive only surfaces...

"














































So many perceive only surfaces

only skin…

but she is a Wonderland within.

 

Chrysalis tea with a hatter’s cup

and more…

inside her live ten thousand doors.

 

Red queen, white queen shadowed

stormy cries…

she feeds me bread and butterflies.

 

A vast expanse of tranquil space

this etched ink…

dancing now through her folds of pink.       

 

We play in her gardens of delight

by roses red…

wildflowers make our untamed bed.

 

Drink me now and inhale us in

this frabjous day…

Sweet hookah in our minds will play.

Stunningly elegant writing dear Craig. The wonderland with ten thousand doors that hold magic and a multitude of hues forever fascinating and free to access and to enjoy, but how many really come to know this wonderland within us? Your superb knowledge and imagination is beyond comparison, meu Querido amigo. Parabéns para uma poesia spectacular.

LOVE IT! Love your playfulness & rhyming. Love your use of the mad hatter motif. I couldn't agree with you more, that too many poems address only the surface attributes of people, which is why I'm not a fan of love poems (often the worst). I love it when a writer takes the time to come up with a strong concept, then playing & crafting this into an original way to say what everybody is trying to say, but better! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

Thank you for your presence here, Julie. Always glad to have you visit a bit of Wonderland. :)
a woman, a wondrous land, a wondrous universe, You live wondrously inside her mind, inside her heart and soul, a way deeeep under the "flesh" where the real true beauty dwells, abounds and pounds, You live with her, she is an never ending dream, where there is always more, gorgeous and wondrous piece my creative friend.
