Prologue
Welcome to Love, Alice, a poetry site created and run by me, Hannah.Love, Alice was started several years ago as a place to store my poems, with a whimsical theme and some magic sprinkles. Today, I don't add poems as often as I did, but visitors are still more than welcome to traverse my small and (lovingly) dusty poem stash.
Thanks for stopping by!~
A Box for Something
Poems
To Cheese
CheeseA tangy delicacy
Cheddar
Or maybe Swiss
Creamy yummyness
Good on a sandwich
With bologna
And mayo
With a yogurt
A perfect lunch
Or just plain
All by itself
Pepperjack
And summer sausage
Mixed with a good book
Wonderful
For every occasion
And when I close my eyes
I can see
My cheese heaven
Black and White
WhiteIs a solid canvas
Pure and clean, like newly fallen snow
It's a smooth blank space
To write joyful things on
A bright ray of happiness
Void of hue and grayness
Sometimes appearing
In an illustrious silver
Nothing is hidden
In its simple honesty
Black
Is an emptiness
That is not a color, really
It is a deep dark dangerous shadow
Absorbing everything it can
Like a cold dark winter sky
Without a moon to light a path
Leaving you lost in an endless maze
It's a place where creatures with forty eyes
Stare out at you from closet doors
And clowns can make people smile
Though not in a happy way
Overly Optimistic
Just a person who'sOverly optimistic
Keeping the world from
Entering total seriousness
Ready, set, go
Magic tricks,
Anyone?
Now it's your turn to smile
Whatever doesn't kill you
Helps to make
You stranger
So don't blow things
Out of proportion
Seeing as how
Everything is one big game
Re-creating terror
Is my specialty
Over the entire city
Until I stop smiling
So why not see the bright side of things
???
Mirror
IllusionIn glass
Mocking
Taunting
Saying
I'm real
When really
You're not
Mystic
Revealing
Hidden wishes
Uncovering
Secrets
Stealing
My sanity
Like a fog
A thread
To fantasy
To a world
Of heresy
Never
Stopping
My heart
Stops beating
It pulls me in
Takes me away
I don't exist
Does anything, really?
In a land of lies,
False promises,
And broken hopes
Twisted and woven
Into something demented
A devil's crown
Warped and bent
Reality's connection
Is now blemished
Turned into
A tarnished wire
Nothing endures
The shadow's touch
Forever falling
Never soaring
My wings
Are broken
Wound around
A ghostly evil
I'm vanished
Into nothing
Living in
A mirror
Frozen
My fingers are numbMy pencil sticks to the page
Doesn't fly across
The blank space
Doesn't produce
The right words
My hand reacts
A second too late
I've already made
A dozen mistakes
Like taffy
My fingers slowly function
Trying to warm up
Trying to go faster
It must be below zero
I wish it were warmer
Can't Erase
I made mistakesBut those were erasable
Practically untraceable
Until I wrote with pen
Now everyone knows
The mistake I made
There's no way to hide it
No way to fight it
I see it everywhere
My eyes in the mirror
Tell me much clearer
How fatal my accident was
I'm pinned against a wall
Under everyone's prying eyes
Just because you told me lies
I can't start over again
Another Place
I just live hereIt's not my place
No connections
It's that much easier
When you move on
To another house
Don't promise to write
Or keep in touch
Just bury the memories
Numb the pain
Tell yourself it's fine
The world will stop spinning
Around your desolation
And you'll find
Your destination
A hidden treasure
The mother pearl
In the black sea
Of a cruel world
Your heart will heal
Eventually
But don't lose hope
You'll always have it
Someone loves you
You know they do
March proudly
Put on a mask
Until you're home
Safe, at last
Crazy Wonderland
I think I justGot lost in a wonderland
Can't you see the rabbit hole
I fell through?
Maybe it's just the moon
But if I'm underground
That can't be so
And what about that rabbit
With the uncertain eyes
They say time flies
But I think its stuck here
Where cats are insane
I can't say less
For the Queen
I don't know how tall I am
Or how big I'm suppose to be
A cat may look at a king
I can't find the key
Maybe I lost it
Perhaps I forgot it
When I played croquet
I'd rather go home now
For the excitement is dull
My mind is swirling
I must be mad
To wind up here
In this crazy wonderland
Insane Melody
Insane MelodyDriving me crazy
My mind goes hazy
Nothing is real
Can't get it out
It seems to be mocking
My world disappears
My life it steals
I am but a plaything
Perspective is lost
My eyes become glass
A puppet on a string
Like the sea
It pulls me down
Horrid blackness grabbing, dragging
Such an unbearable cling
It makes it's own
Rules for me
That horrible
Insane
Melody
An Entertaining Feye
Strawberry redGlints in you hair
Emerald green
In your eyes
A smile like gold
Shines on your face
And your laugh
Is an autumn sunrise
The dance of a willow
Is how graceful you move
Bright butterflies
Circle your hands
Birds summon a breeze
Whenever you please
Your skin glitters
Like fine grains of sand
A crown of ivy
Entwines your head
You see the night
Yet bright as the day
Who can feel
If anything's real
When entertained by a feye
Dreaming Girl
Dreaming girlStaring at the wall
Seeing fantasies
Inside the wallflowers
Dreaming girl
Tracing portraits
Into the sidewalk
Invisible masterpieces
Dreaming girl
Flying with doves
While lying on the ground
Surrounded by leaves
Dreaming girl
Making daisies
Out of weeds
Calling butterflies
Dreaming girl
Weaving tales
Mixed with imagination
Bringing out the best
Cuckoo Bird
Cuckoo bird, cuckoo birdHear my plea
Flutter your wings
Take the darkness away
Cuckoo bird, cuckoo bird
Hear my prayer
Banish the dark
From my prison-like lair
Cuckoo bird, cuckoo bird
Hear my cry
Help me up
And teach me to fly
Cuckoo bird, cuckoo bird
Hear my screams
Make me awake
From my hideous dreams
The Raven
Caw the ravenFill the sky
Black silken wings
Terrify
Me, the land
A swarm of shrouds
Engulf the clouds
Wings beating
Moon phases
A dark cloak
Velvet curtains
Universe torn
Quoth the raven
Nevermore
Time
Time, timeFlitting past us
Catch it if you can
Time, time
The clocks are ticking
Seconds passing by
Time, time
Seconds to minutes
Minutes to hours
Time, time
Here and gone
Never coming back
Time is fleeting
Silent Bitterness
I hate the silenceSo why can't you answer
When I say hi?
What did I ever do to you
To make you treat me the way you do
It's like I'm not even there
With you looking past me like
I'm just thin air
I don't want to hear your life
I just want to be comprehended
This weird silence ended
Is it too much to ask
For you to say hi?
Bluebird
Sing me a songColorful bluebird
My sky is a dark grey
I want something to cheer me
Sing me a tune
To remind me of better days
Bring the sunshine back
And turn back the clock
No! Please, don't fly away
Don't leave me alone
In this darkening gloom
Take me with you
Lead me back
Pretty bluebird, take me
Where I can see the stars
Hear the ocean cry
Sing away my heart
Take it where I can always hear
The pretty music of the wind
Bonnie little bluebird

Namesakes
Alice Cullen
Alice Cullen is a vampire whose family only prey on animals, while assuming the role of normal people. She has the remarkable talent to see things that might happen in the future.Quote: "Some things are more certain than others… like the weather. People are harder. I only see the course they're on while they're on it. Once they change their minds - make a new decision, no matter how small - the whole future shifts." ~Twilight
Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is the bizarre story of a girl who, after chasing a white rabbit down its hole, finds herself in a mixed-up world of strange creatures, non-existent places and the most outrageous food items.Quote: "Well, I'll eat it," said Alice, "and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door: so either way I'll get into the garden, and I don't care which happens!" ~Alice in Wonderland
Alice Bings
Another Alice is the brother of Alec in The Phantom Tollbooth. This unusual family obviously has different ways of seeing things than we do.Quote: "I'm Alec Bings; I see through things... the only thing I can't see is whatever happens to be right in front of my nose. My father sees to things, my mother looks after things, my brother sees beyond things, my uncle sees the other side of every question, and my little sister Alice sees under things. And whatever she can't see under, she overlooks." ~The Phantom Tollbooth
