Good day, Mr. HatterGood day, Mr. Hatter

Why oh dear, what's the matter?

What could be so bad,

as to make you sad,

on a day so bright and new?

Good day, Mr. Hatter,

perhaps if I sit with you I can,

make you laugh, and make you smile,

and sometime in that while,

draw you out of your dark and dreary mood.

Good day Mr. Hatter, yes I'd love a cup of tea!

Though I cannot quite understand,

why that involves your hand upon my knee,

or why you're so insistent,

on holding hands with me.

But you're right,

it is rather nice,

and is that a smile I see?

Good day, Mr. Hatter, what is that you say?

A kiss upon my cheek?

I suppose it could cause no harm,

no

Mad As A HatterMad As A Hatter

I pull my hat low upon my brow
My hands trembling, convulsing now
I wipe the drool from off my chin
And try to walk upright again
I stumble, screaming out a horrific sound
I have fallen once more to the ground

I cannot stop the shrieking
How many biscuits are there today?
A COPPER A WATCHMAN!
No, no n-n-n-n-no sir, I-I-I-I
Hattah Hattah Hattah Haigha
STOP IT!

It comes from within yet I know not where
I crawl now with frightful despair
I only wish to return home
Saved from the tempers which are my own
And here they come their coat of white
I have no voice to tell my plight

And yet I laugh and mumble so
Ten o

Hello, Alice girlHello Alice girl, won't you take a seat?

Won't you sit?

Won't you rest?

Won't you talk a while with me?

Hello, Alice girl, won't you have some tea?

Mad?

Oh yes

Of course I am,

I can hardly help it, you see,

I am Mad and I am a Hatter,

And that's the long and short of me.

Hello, Alice girl,

sit a little closer,

if you will.

We shall talk,

and drink our tea,

and soon enough you shall see,

that you have little to fear from a Hatter,

even one as mad as me.

Hello, Alice girl,

what is it you said to me?

Why yes,

Oh my,

that is my hand,

resting upon your knee.

I can't imagine how it got there,

it wasn't from any choice by m

Cheshire CatOh cat
Cheshire grin firm
Why is your Wonderland
Such a troublesome place to live?
Cheshire?

Lost Heart My heart isn't lost, but my love is.
My mind isn't here, but my soul is.

My breath disappeared, but it's because I'm speechless.
My eyes are watering, it's due to your beauty.

The way I'd describe you, isn't something I can say.
If I ever found you, I'd know it anyday.
I thought I did once, but apparently I was wrong.

My Heart Break, is the only proof I have.
The only proof that Love is real.
My scars, tell my story.
So do my puffy eyes.

Come out from the clearing, I owe you a hug.
The curtain is here, I'll remove it soon.
When you arrive, I'll let you in.
I'll knock down the walls and begin the flood.

cutting.my body was the canvas for what my heart had to say.

The Cheshire Cat'Do you think in thoughts or words?"
Asked the Cheshire Cat sitting on her
High perch.
Teeth grinning-
Mind slowly spinning
Circum-skipping a forgotten topic,
Like a dusty record player
Humming to itself.
Such a simple melody
For such a complex machine.
A mortal machine,
A slow machine that likes its
Instruction booklet.
The Cheshire Cat grins again,
And closes the booklet.

The Cheshire Cat The nights grow longer as I wait for my dear sweet Alice. Always having something interesting to say with quite a mouth for such a young barn; however, it is that trait that truly brings my heart closer to her radiant figure in this bleak world. Her stride keeps my gaze until I can no longer stand the agony of knowing the truth of this my secret, nice love.
Though she does not understand all of what I have done for her is out of my deep want of her to love me as I love her. My taunts are only a true want of her to endeavor at these the journeys she must undertake herself and only by herself.
The nights and days passed as I wait

The Mad Hatter's Serenade

and then the hatter said, to the tree
'life is the colour you want to see.
black or white or blue or red.'
and then he stood upon his head.
'The world makes more sense upside down,
so now, when I'm happy, I usually frown.'

'I wear many hats, none of them are mine.
I keep them to sell, so please get in line.
Buy them for cheap, and take this mask for free!
Use it to hide the faces you don't want anyone to see.

'tis a neverending tea party, this life, my friend!
time is frozen still, and this will not end.
not joy, nor sorrow, nor love, nor hate
the most you can hope for, is to get a clean plate.'

I watch the hatter (mad), and the

A Mad ValentineValentine's Day is a wonderful time, full of love and flowers and beautiful music. People have a special bounce in their step, the air seems just a bit sweeter, and shopkeepers' eyes gleam just a light more brightly at thinking about how much money they're going to make. Yes, Valentine's Day is indeed a wonderful time.

Unless, of course, one is single, in which case it's nothing but a miserable slog through miles of red, pink, and white decorations, trying to keep from retching at the sight of lovesick couples walking arm in arm as they coo sopping nonsense at one another.

Alice shook her head, trying to dislodge such thoughts. She reall

PerfectTime slows in a lovers gaze,
it stops in that perfect moment,
when eachothers eyes meet.
Whether it be from across the room,
or across a candle lit table,
that pure moment where nothing else matters,
but eachothers love.
People...
Time....
all stand still in envy of that moment.
Unaware of such perfection,
and beauty ever transpired,
in a single moment in time.

bruisedI want my heart and soul ripped out of my chest and laid on the table,
When you see it are you going to run?
It has black and blue stains on it,
These black and blue stains are my flaws,
I want you to caress them,
I want you to take advantage of my flaws
Hold them like you never want them to go,
You don't want to fix me you want them just to be the same,
You love that about me,
You love the black and blue stains of my heart,
They make me who I am,
I am a mistake to many,
You should run away and never look at my pulsating heart,
But instead you make it feel alive with your words and touch,
You invigorate that heart,

hourglassSand of time pass slowly on broken lover hearts,
eroding away all the history to what they really feel.
Each grain of sand one memory of love,
each one dropped a twinge of pain,
and an eternity in loving embrace.
Love's burning embers rekindled into fires of ardent desire,
of the hearts most cherished wishes of love.
Every falling memory a night alone in darkness,
of dreams for loves bright sunrise,
to chase away the uncertainties of the darkness.
The broken lovers heart trapped in a hour glass of forever memory,
trapped behind the glass of its most cherished and beloved emotions.
Time never stops for broken hearts,
but plays in

CrimsonYour scent sweeter than wine,
your presence ever lasting.
Your skin like the pale moon,
your existence felt.
Your hair silky raven black,
your touch an inferno.
Your eyes looking glasses to the soul,
mesmerizing in beauty,
hypnotizing with love.
Movements so graceful,
delicate like a rose,
but sharp with thorns.
Lips crimson like blood,
warmer than the sun,
and full with passion.
An expretion of unquenchable,
undeniable want,
speaking in phathoms.

I Knew You BothI loved you both,
I'd hold you so close.
Each of you owned my heart,
not just one tiny part.
Time used to just pass us by,
never giving us a reason to ask why,
but now I alone sit and ask the sky.
With one of you I was romantic,
the other I was quite frantic.
One of you I'd shair my love,
the other together we were like lofty dove.
But alas those days are dead,
and put queer thoughts in my head,
each night as I walk to bed.
What happened to us three,
whose bond was strong and spirits free,
what happened to you two and me?
We were to grow old together,
and stay side by side through the worst weather.
Now I sit dreamig of the

endless sorrowTake it all away,
take all of it away.
Destroy all my anger,
take all my pain.
Give me no more sorrow,
hand me no more grief.
End this life of constant sorrow,
take back all your memories.
Give me back my peace of mind,
give me back all happiness,
and leave my life never to return.
Take back all your joy,
and return to me my heart.
Take back all your love,
and return me to where we first met,
let me go through life like we never met.
Let us both escape this life of endless sorrow,
and find the ones we were meant to meet.

Hatter

Drink from my cup
sit in my chair
hurry hurry
I must find a new kettle
and the march hare.
Walk
run fly and fall.
Quick back to tea
take a sip
a gulp
perhaps a bit of sugar
a pot of tea
maybe three?
Quickly quickly
no time to waste
no time to waste to race
its always time for tea.
A dash of honey
a lump of suger
and a guest for tea.
Switch chairs
trade with the hare
but dont forget the tea.
All life for tea
you me and tea.
Tea by the pot
the cup
the drum
sweet wonderful tea.
But remember you must have tea
with me
you see?
Its not quite tea time
or a pot of grey
nor a party without me.
No tea without a Mad Hatter.
