Wonderland

Take me to a place..
Where all my dreams come true..
Take me away to paradise..
Lead me down the rabbit hole..
Ignite the fire to my heart..
Help me burn brighter..
Intoxicate my blood stream..
Take my dreams hostage..
Show me the way to wonderland..
Show me the horrors and gore..
Show me the light and beauty..
Be the poison in my tea..
Be the glimmer in my eyes..
Be the shine to my sun..
Be my land of wonder..
Be the sweet symphony my heart desires to hear..
And when I awake promise you'll be my King of Hearts..

Really good, I liked your usage of anaphora in the closing lines. Nice poem.

I enjoyed this read SS...as you've asked for honest critique, I'm giving it, always aware that poetry is very personal and what seems 'right' for want of a better word for some is not 'right' for the person who wrote it... :)

'Help be burn brighter' ... should 'be' be 'me'?
'Ignite the fire to my heart' ... would 'in' be better than 'to'?

While I like the usage of anaphora I feel there would be more 'strength' in the verse below (especially if performing it) if 'be' was deleted on the 2nd and 3rd lines giving them emphasis...
Also symphony is spelt incorrectly ...

'Be the poison in my tea..
Be the glimmer in my eyes..
Be the shine to my sun..
Be my land of wonder..
Be the sweet smyphony my heart desires to hear..
And when I awake promise you'll be my King of Hearts'
