The Call

The Call (an Ellis poem)

Come to me
All of you crestfallen
All of you washed about
Come to me
Dwell in my arms
I will spin you a new tale
A new web
Do you tire of the web of lies you have woven for yourself
Allow me to show you a new truth
I will assault your reality
I will pique your senses
I will bring to you a new song of self expression
And of joy
Do you desire the miraculous
Do you desire the powerful
Do you desire the odd and strange
Are you fascinated with what is
Or with what could be
Do you desire change
Then come with me
Red hair
Fiery
Passionate
I am the Red Queen
I offer you night
A night filled with lights and wonder
Do you wish for rapture
For pleasure
For fulfillment
For sanity
Do you plea for guidance
For deliverance
For a slight bitter glimpse of that which can be known as truth
Then my child
Come to me
Sit in the midst of my web
Quench your desire
Let your thirst be sated
Eat and be fulfilled
Seek your own truth
In your web of lies
Seek for sanity
And find me
Chaos
Wonderland
I will give you sanctity
I will give you peace
I will deliver unto you a new life
If you but trust in me
Crestfallen children
Wandering in despair
In anguish and in lament
Sing to me a song of your lamentations
Sing to me the eulogy
The elegy of your old life
Death to the image
Hail the new flesh
In this moment
Pure and sacred
I give to you a new story
Rise
In the ocean of blood
In the sea of eternity
Lift your anchor
Batten down the hatches
You are in wonderland now
I can give you all that you desire
I can change your state of mind
I can lead you to be exactly who and what you want to be
A bastion of light
A fountain of radiance
A beacon in the midst of the dull muddle of society
Things go on and on but there is no end in sight
No appeal for change
No appeal for truth
Allow me to show you how to be the appeal that you seek
How to be a font of knowledge for those that surround you
See into yourself
Look deep
And there I will be
Enter into your wonderland
Tap into the beast that rages inside
Do you want to rest in your weariness forever
Or do you wish to make a change
Her name is Ellis
She wispers to me
You are free
You are free
Come to me child
Let me show you your way
