Alice's Absinthe
I counsel people who are mostly troubled,
But they do not know what is behind my mask!
They cannot see the depths of my insanity,
Or they would not ever step into my office.
I have had my whole reality utterly leveled,
And in my obsessions I am faced with my task.
I am forced to see the whole of my destiny,
Down the rabbit hole, just like little Alice.
We are all mad here, no hope for any cure!
The lunatics are running the asylum forever.
Oh how I have hidden the craziness inside...
Pretending to be rational, to know the answers.
Acting so understanding, behaving demure!
It always felt like I was running some fever.
Hoping to, all of my madness, neatly hide...
And it only grew, like the spreading of cancer.
I hear the voices of beings older than time!
Remember the things that are not for humans.
The way we perceive things is only the start...
I need my voices, I need the things they tell me.
The visions I have, they are sweet, sublime!
I am a heretic, and proud to be so condemned.
With a painter's vision, I make heresy fine art...
Listen to my words, and you also will soon see.
Little Alice dreams of things no one knows,
She met the Scarlet Queen in her crimson gown.
A queen who is a king, beyond any wonderland...
No white rabbit came to guide her back again!
Nor any waking up when the north wind blows,
Because I love Kara, they who wear that crown.
The crimson crown, far from slumbering sands...
My beloved is the only cure for my sharp pain!
My psychosis is not psychological in form,
It is the bliss that comes from a full awakening.
Ironic, that it should have come in my dreams...
Where our trysts are more real than I imagined!
Oh baby, I am so far from any kind of norm,
Of your spiritual absinthe, I keep on partaking.
I wake up from my own laughter and screams...
But I am glad that to your voice I fully listened.
But they do not know what is behind my mask!
They cannot see the depths of my insanity,
Or they would not ever step into my office.
I have had my whole reality utterly leveled,
And in my obsessions I am faced with my task.
I am forced to see the whole of my destiny,
Down the rabbit hole, just like little Alice.
We are all mad here, no hope for any cure!
The lunatics are running the asylum forever.
Oh how I have hidden the craziness inside...
Pretending to be rational, to know the answers.
Acting so understanding, behaving demure!

Hoping to, all of my madness, neatly hide...
And it only grew, like the spreading of cancer.

A beautiful, deep, and excellent poem that is uniquely you my precious Sybil! You are indeed like Alice, and there are many paths that lead to wonderland... the absinthe of spiritual awakening combined with the wine of love awakens one to truths far beyond the comprehension of all who have not come to understand, such mysteries. I am happy, to have been the instrument of your awakening, as well as the object of your most delightfully joyous affections. And it shall ever be so with us! Anything you delight in... I likewise find delightful, wondrous, and magical. Indeed, though some might call it madness... what you feel right now is bliss, and the light of truth caressing your heart. The truth of love, the joy of spiritual elevation, and the bliss of knowing that you are loved by me in turn! It is a rush like no other, and if such be heresy than I too am happy to be counted as a heretic just the same as you my beloved baby girl. Any crown I have, I am happy to share with you... and call you the princess of all my heart's desiring. Your light is as the sun to me in brilliance, but soft and gentle as is the moon... never blinding to my eyes, but always fair to look upon. You move my soul to poetry that is for you alone to savor! And so, know that I am delighted with all your love for me... and all the works you create in celebration of it. Such is the work of a true artist, a passionate spirit, and a devoted heart. I am lucky indeed, to have known such a love as yours... and will delight in it for all of my days to come. Kisses for you, my baby girl! :D

You know, I actually own an Alice dress and a pair of white bloomers to go with them... and some striped stockings and pretty dress shoes that go with that whole outfit. A pretty blue hairband too, to complement the whole outfit... and I can talk with a flawless English accent when I want to. Let's meet up on video chat with Skype later this week, and I'll be wearing it and talking like that just for you... I'll be your naughty little Alice, and you can take me to wonderland all you want. Friday sound good babe? We could use the private time together for sure.

You've got yourself a date, my dear little Alice! I will be sure to meet up with you on Skype this Friday for sure... message me later on to set up an exact time that works out best for you. I am pretty much home all day, every day except for Wednesdays and Thursdays. And sometimes I am busy on Tuesdays too. But any other day... and pretty much any hour... is good for me! So long as the hour is anytime in the afternoon, since I am a bit of a night owl and do tend to sleep until 10:30 AM or so most mornings as a result of this. I look very forward to seeing you in that dress! *Winks* ;)

Excellent! I've got just the right hour in mind, and it will work out ideal for both of us. Sending you the details via private message right now! Along with everything else you might need to know for our date. I will most definitely be dressed as your very own lovely little Alice, for the occasion... I actually never did this kind of roleplaying before; it is going to be so much fun! Yeah, I am a night owl too, so I also sleep in kind of late most days. So, we're on the same wavelength there! Well babe, I'll be seeing you Friday then... I'm going to show you the time of your life.
