My Alice

My Alice

A Poem by Thomas W Case
"

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uQvAa0t6VDw Here is a link to my YouTube channel where I read my poetry.

"
In her deadly
blue eyes, I fall down the
rabbit hole.
Down
down
down I go.
I hit the
earth like a
mock turtle on its
back;
with a smack;
like a shot to the vein.
She travels through my
bloodstream with the
force of a mad tea party.
Her hair is dormouse soft.
I touch it, and feed
her tarts, as she
rides me like
a guillotine;
sharp and final,
with a purpose;
like a porpoise with a
fish hook in
its mouth.
I hold on tight
and never let go.

Yes Thomas. I loved how you used the language. Fishing and love. Interesting. Is love like fishing? The fish must bite before you can pull them in? Hello my friend and thank you for sharing another poetry for love.
