CHANGELING
Through The Looking Glass...
A changeling sleeps 'neath starry skies,
She closes soft, her pretty eyes
Ghosts, through misty windows cry,
Earth angel spreads her wings to fly.
✨
The changeling dreams as secrets sleep,
Her worth well ploughed, her seeds sowed deep
The aftermath of joy’s injection,
Appears as shame in her reflection...
✨
Denial screams from inky depths,
Forbidden fruit, her nectar blessed
In watery eyes, her dreams dissolve,
Her hope hangs lonely in the cold.
✨
They labelled her as “too far gone”,
Her blues turned black, her star had shone
For hate of self and words unheard,
She squandered gifts, as “underserved”,
✨
The changeling fled from judgement’s glare,
Through the Looking Glass, she disappeared
There, Alice held her trembling hands,
And welcomed her to Wonderland...
✨

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.
