DARK
DREAMS
She paints the most
amazing pictures with her pen
Creates worlds out of
nothing but the air she breathes
She will sing you a
lullaby composed of her dreams
Tell you the glory of
the world in which she believes
She will spin you
through galaxies on gossamer wings
Dance you through the
stars as they sing just for her
Take you on journeys
through distant lands
Tell you fairy tales
of beauty and epic wonder
But what she doesn't
say speaks louder than verse
That she is a heart doomed
to beat forever alone
That nature is the
only place she's ever felt at home
How can words with
such emotion be tied to a heart of stone
She will make you see
the wonder of heaven's grace
Take you with her
down all the less traveled roads
But tonight when she
lays her head down to rest
She will live with
the knowledge of ever dreaming alone
When you try to
decipher fate's ultimate destination
Based on the beauty
of a song from a wounded heart
Know that she
generates the light from inside herself
Though she falls to
sleep forever in the arms of dark-JK
RED'S
FIRE
When the angel dances
she is at her most free
She remembers her
souls innermost fire
She lets go the hand
of illusions there
Steps into the depth
of her souls desire
The warrior in her
fights ever for the light
Weaving the stardust
into flames against the dark
She is so much
stronger than she appears
There is beauty
beyond wonder that shines in her heart
When she let's go of
the earth that holds her bound
She is free to burn
to the music of her inner song
The glory of her
angel spirit rises as though a phoenix
Forever tempered in
the fire that has made her strong
She learns to dance
on the blades sharp edge
Controlling the
balance that has become her destiny
Can you hear the echo
of starlight captured
In the heat of the
song that is her truest legacy
Watch as she burns
away the hand of darkness
To stand firm in the
flames of her resolve there
A woman born of
mystery yet with a childlike grace
A subtle shade of
firey red with a peace beyond compare-JK
RED
QUEEN
The board is set it's
time for the game to begin
Every move is
calculated and leaves no room for chance
Each pawn is played
to gain her trust
The king dreams of
joining her heart in dance
But the rook underestimated
her ability
To understand the
challenge laid
And the lonely knight
ever loses ground
With each gambit in
shadow played
The game is but a
liquid metaphor
For she has fallen
far through the looking glass
Make your next move
if you truly dare
Or your fate may
never come to pass
For in wonderland
Alice holds the balance
And the hat's madness
reigns on this stage
The game you thought
you could not lose
Would require one
with a true depth of courage
So make your move but
beware the jabberwock
Don't believe you
know the truth behind the cat's smile
You were never as
close as you believed
The Queen has seen
through you all the while
Don't weep when she
catches you unaware
When she reveals your
love was only a game
For when the Red
Queen puts you in check
You'll never see the
beauty of her heart again-
[JULIE KOPS]
