The Alphabet Song

SIGN MY GUESTBOOK




(***NOTE: This poem is in no way autobiographical!!!)


 
A
Age of papercut dolls and radiant-colored balloons
B
Blithely carrying wishes to the man on the moon
C
Carefree and hopeful are what i was destined to be
D
Daringly dancing with life in innocent gracility
E
Elephant dreams and crowns of daisies on angel hair
F
Fairytale princess forever happy in bedtime prayer
G
Growing soul in need of nurturing touch and smile
H
However feeding itself on love most troubled and vile
I
I gave to you my trust as natural as the bloom of a flower
J
Jupiter of my world, you governed it with dictatorial power
K
Kept under your smothering wing, i became as a stone angel
L
Laden with a halo of guilt and a tarnished white mantle
M
Magic wand you forced into my hand like a prize to hold
N
Nocturnal games with the devil which cost me my soul
O
O Father, how could you poison your own flesh and blood ?
P
Pervading my mind and body with delusions of fatherly love
Q
Quarry to your most secret desires, i knew not but to obey
R
Reality to me was the make-believe roles you coerced me to play
S
Shameful seduction of a child with promises of toys and candy
T
Teacher, mentor -- pain and humility are the lessons you taught me
U
Unblemished, you went into the world concealing your true light
V
Venerable gentleman by day, callous monster by night
W
Wanton good night kisses when all i needed was a sweet lullaby
X
Xcrutiating caresses forced upon a virgin mouth forbidden to cry
Y
Yearning still for a childhood long ago lost within your embracing confine
Z
Zero hour - i wait - when i can be a child again no longer haunted
by the memory of your satiated face above mine
 
*Now i know my ABC - won't you sing along with me?*
