A Strange Celebration

Some friends on a Harry Potter forum last year asked me to create a poem to celebrate the birthday of Alan Rickman (the actor who plays Severus Snape). Here is the poem I ended up producing.

I dreamt I went mushroom hunting
I passed through the looking glass
Fell down the rabbit hole
And began to hear whispers there about the snark

I wanted to find one,
While hunting, I stumbled upon an outdoor party
With a cake light and frothy
Many unusual creatures having grand fun

The world below is strange
Colors vibrate; thoughts become real
I met a hatter--mad, deranged
He stole my heart; he made me feel

He invited me to a private tea
Even though I'm from the U.S.
Asked me to watch his billowing vestments
Left out in the breeze

He sat down and read to me
In a voice that stroked my head
Words taking flesh
Unadulterated glee

I wished I could stay
But he quickly whisked away
As he was late for a very important date
Suddenly, I was awake

All that's left now are memories
Silver images on the screen
But I can celebrate his birthday,
And he'll always be a dream

To Be Loved

I wish that I could be loved To hold the hand of God That stars shining above Could ignite a lightning rod Many years and days alone I walked and prayed for you I no longer know my home I have searched to find your truth I sat by you on this shore Upon rocks in the sand Waiting to be adored Yet, refusing to take your hand I hear these waves crash and die Short lifespans savage, then gone I feel so still inside Always a bit withdrawn I wish that I could be loved To believe, to be with you To touch and to be touched As each night and day renew

Human Angels

"Life is difficult!" I cry out tonight, So an angel from heaven Is sent to be by my side. He swoops down on mighty wings Amidst tumultuous skies. Black forces, pent up and waiting, Strike him down as he flies. In my dream, I see him. I open up my eyes. An angel stands there bleeding, Injured and dying. "Yes, life is difficult," The angel lets me know. "You are stronger than me: You have a human soul." "You can repair my wounds; You can restore my life; You can keep me safe Until I'm well and right." The way to keep an angel safe Is to close your eyes and dream, So I lay back to sleep While he rests right next to me. In my dream, I watch over him Rather than him watching over me. I touch his hand and feel his pain. I see visions of him as a man. "You are in love with this man. He's a reflection of my light. Someday, you'll be together, But not in this lifetime." As I heal the angel, I ...
