‘Tis a strange and startling thing to think
As mind chase Rabbit, swig Alice’s drink
Leaps toward phantasms, myths at the brink
Of a seismic sea in which souls sink:
That, what was known to be solid truth
Is now estranged, gone and aloof
As under Hatter’s crooked roof
Delusions are spun and rattled through
In the stir of visions in the wonderland wilds
Mind regress to inner child
By illusions, treachery deceives, beguiled
So fear rules rank in this cursed isle
But in the stir of the anarchy in Alice’s heart
Against dread fear visions impart
With spirit that inspire the angels of hell
To rise up against the devil and rebel
Wonderland sings to heaven of loves luscious truth
Consists in it a common beauty yet rare forsooth
Their destiny to be immortalised sublime
In words that vanquish hell and transcend time

Oh, life is as a song
Now that you’ve arrived
And whoever your amazing beauty
Chiselled, sculpt, contrive
That finer mind nor sweeter heart
Couldn’t be by heaven conceived
While I lament the years sore spent
By men wont to deceive

My heart is heavy, hunted, hung
It shatters in my broken breast
From which a bitter dirge is sung
Of sorrows to outrank the rest
I strain my brow as reaper comes
No paradise in life or death
Just the haunt of devils drums
O Jesus save my breath

Shall we be blessed by union of hearts?
Shall we rejoice in Love’s majestic art?
Keep smiling sweet gloom’s hour over, gone
Sew Ruby’s in my Heart **** its pallor wan
I love you more than angels love the earth
Virtue of thy smile measured not by worth
You talk a saint upon my ear
And I rejoice such joy to hear

Your smile made laughter in my eyes
As towards me, sweet, you cruised
Perhaps before my heart disguised
For being hunted, bruised
You spoke and that song through me waved
And angels wrote the score
Lo! The dance that I have craved
Never hence shall I want for more
As you lay in my sight my heart gave way
Such beautiful repose in thee
I promised hence to be a pilgrim
Therein I consent to be free
And wings of passion take me to
Your arms in tender dream
In which the saints ordain our love
Smile upon us supreme
Oh I adore each every limb
But most of all your heart entwined
With golden threads craft by Gods whim
Forever more with mine

A year! - My head sunk beneath
Horizon which conceals the hell
Drags its prey along by teeth
Around, around the soul’s grim cell
An eternal year these torturous ways
Which make me see, sense, hear the soul
Of deathly fear, that reaper strays
To maim innocence with hot claws foul
My hunted heart, my shredded mind
Could never last the trials of fires
In which grim Lord in evil refined
Sets to torture and never tires
That empty, putrid and bitter eye
From whence the pits of torture surveyed
Roves its sights upon me as I
Relinquish hope for which I’d prayed

I lie in turmoil as the beast
Drops on my head, all hope deceased
He knows the fears on which to feast

Eye to eye, I yet alone
With regent of infernal throne
With stare that sets my heart to stone

How did my hope sink so low, deep?
That it was gouged from my breast, he keep
On laughing as I tremble, weep

God be gone, my peace is dead
For beast descend upon my head
To fill me with immortal dread
