The Lion's Mouth

Under a spell,
Like an obedient little child...
Dangerous but tempting,
Like a diamond in the lion’s mouth...

There’s nothing I could do but crawl.

Pointing fingers to blame for the crash,
I can’t believe it’s come to this,
Up in smoke for our ignorant bliss.
But, like small cinders of ash,

Everything has a place to fall...

I wouldn’t call it curious...
We’ve all been misguided.
We all get a little delirious,
When the leash is tightened.

I didn’t know what to do.

I am speechless.
From the rabbit hole, I carry out the worst.
Failing with a guilty spirit.
I’ve become a irrevocable mess.

And now, the cat’s got a lie under my tongue.

Cat got your tongue? Miss Alice down the rabbit hole and into the dreams is your secret now.
Delightful spin on a classic.
Love,
Mom
