Wonderland

A girl I know 

as Alice

lives deep inside my heart.

She does not fear

her dreams,

but rules them instead.

But one night,

after a lub-dub, lub-dub

lulls her off to sleep

a raven visits her in Wonderland.

The Jabberwocky must be slain!

Only you can do it!

And in return the girl becomes

bejeweled.

Her teeth are diamonds, 

eyes of the deepest jade. 

Her skin is gold-plated

and the rose quartz lips swayed.

A Valkyrie has risen!

The ashes have been shed!

No longer weak and helpless

fueled by words of a thousand suns.
