A little deeper-- I've fallen Down the rabbit hole Of my heart. Tumbling Upside down and sideways, Wholly unprepared for this, And these unsought And unknowable repercussions. I tripped over something, Something so tiny, casual and Commonplace--I don't remember Even what it was. But I tripped, And this started, falling down From yesterday to here-- And here I am. I'm lost down this Corridor of persuasion, with heartbeats As the silence that broke the sky, Lingering in remedy that knows no Reasonable bounds--a kiss Could save the world from any war, And make any man swallow his pride. Nothing is as it seems here, but That is the true falsity Which is wholly understood, and I Have been nothing but honest about Every truth and lie--gauging All your hidden smiles, in an effort To understand--you love me. And I'm sorry, because I know that you Didn't mean to, and you overdid The workings of your heart, gifted me With more than a wise man would share, And you trusted my eyes--the Eyes Of a Woman without anything to lose, And after all the questions, singing-violet Anger and conflicted resolutions, here you are-- Fallen down the rabbit hole, with me. |
