Tell Tale Queen Of Hearts

You're a beautiful face, but I fear somethings wrong

I see it in the world, it's alive.

They speak of a game, it's danger I hear;

Love? What a thick sounding name...

I once met a man so humble & dear
love fell upon him as the snow did that year
& I watched as it crumbled, so tender in his hand.
Yes I once knew, now I've only met, a man.

Be stolen! A princess, she walks with no name
but beauty still became her.
Her lips were as red as the hearts she would take;
such a cruelty to befall on a stranger...

I heard of love once, a story so twisted,
wrought and cruel to its core.
Well, I have taken a liking, as would anyone else,
so I dove into the horror;

Until it became horror no more...

I found the light, it was in your eyes
and love, oh love! It sang.
I heard it as sweet as my darling to be,
I heard love speak my name.

Sew Nothing but The Fields of Play

If I could write a letter

in any single motion

I would want it to walk near;

to so delicately move you.

To scribe such a completion

well, what a miracle be!

For I am of much lesser things

than one may think of me.

Built in flesh, embodied.

silk, soft to the touch.

Delicate as the wishing flower,

harsh as mouth's word, love.

Wishing to morph in silence,

become a frail being.

Minding the rules bring weary a cost;

yet shine light to what I am leaving.

Border me, embroider.

Charge me all you stare,

but I will make a pretty penny

on the cloak of hearts you wear.

Making mocking, mind me?

Set across a throne.

Larger is the topper I wear

than your jaded bones.

Take me now to nowhere,

I want to meet you still.

Sit pretty for me, just that way

across my windows sill.

I will drink you as a flower,

until the frost nights kill.

Leaving you to nothing,

but your soul, at my will.
