Alice's Poetry

Ha Ha! You Know Me?
By Alice Peng
July 6, 1997

You tell me that you know me
Better then myself
Do you truly know me?
I don't really think so

Do you know Alice?
Possibly so
For that is the me
You see each day

But do you know the others
That I mask behind
The masks and sides that I can hide
I think not

Do you know Amy?
The wildest side of me
Alice is proper
Never doing wrong
Amy is the rebel in the pack

Or do you know Amythist?
The one that knows it all
But doesn't tell it all
She can see what others can't
And she believes in much

Shocking you yet?
Then lets continue
For this is just the beginning

Do you know Hera?
The regal one at that
She acts like a princess
And royally proper
Yet the kindest of royalty
You'll never really know

Or do you know Hyppolyta?
Not the one by Shakespeare
But the one that's cold as ice
And is the Queen of Swords
She is defensive, clever and keen
Cross her and die, she screams

Now what about my favorite?
Her name is Katarina
She can be odd but she is me
She is the truest of myself to proclaim
But not many have been privileged
To meet this Katarina
For she is my secretive one at that

Oh now have I confused you?
Do you still know me?
Let us keep going
I shall spin you a dream

Ah yes, and Lenore
Her name is as poetic as the wind
She is the writer within me
She writes this poem
With the greatest of ease
And fancies for detail
As you can see

Getting impatient?
We're almost done
One last side of me
And you'll be free
But be aware to never judge me
For you never know who you'll meet

White Rose the mystic
As mystical as can be
Into the realm of the spirits she's free
She explores the meaning
Of Worlds beyond this one
She believes that all is possible
Mystical is she, the white rose in me.




Bring Me A Lover
By Alice Peng
Sept 12, 1997

Bring me a lover
That brings unto me
The fine qualities of dreaming
Within a large sea

A sea of emotions
Beyond the sight
Eyes can be blinded
But a heart cannot

Bring me a love
That can never be lost
Love that the world has not seen
Make him so caring, gentle and sweet

Sweet with the words
He speaks from his heart
And his touch
As soft as can be

Bring to my sight
The love of all loves
Bring me the joy
That lovers share

I do not trust love
Yes that is true
But only a love
Can show you the truth

Bring him to me
So he'll show me love
His heart be flooded with dreams
And the fear of pain washed away

I will not hurt him
If he doesn't hurt me
For pain goes two ways
Not just from he

Bring me my love
The love far away
He was lost one day
Please bring him back home

The love I once lost
On a far distant sea
And as I lay in bed to dream
I dream of him caressing me.

Now it's time
For reality
The above can never be
For love is but a fantasy
I do not trust my heart to thee

Love is but a small, small word
And the thought behind it
Lost far away
Love is but a mere light thought
That no meaning is behind

Please think of me, but understand
That I need the time to think
For at this point I believe in much
But love is not within me

Maybe some day
You'll make me think
That love can exist within me
And maybe then, I'll understand
The purpose of dreams within

Remove my mask
So I can see
And then I shall see you
For the man in my life
Has to know me
And to know the me within me

Are you that man?
That I speak of
The man that knows me
Not just the me that I show each day
But the me that's truly within

Within my heart
Ice does not exist
And the cold is melted away
Like lava spewing forth
My true heart can only be

Think of me, but understand
That I still have much
To comprehend
And life is but a timeline
For me to view today

Once I master
The time of life
I can have time for you

Do not despair
For I do love you
But time is much too short
And I have much
To learn such forth
That I must have time on my own

My path of adventure will soon begin
Follow if you have the courage
If you choose to follow
Then I welcome you
And my path
Will I share with you.



Guys Are Hormones
(Not all but most)
By Alice Peng
Oct. 18, 1997

How stupid are these guys that think
I am but a piece of meat
Hormonal are they who think it best
They are disgusting, little pests

Am I laughing at these fools
Who find it cool to drown in drool
Insulting them behind their backs
All I want is some respect

You laugh and joke, but so do I
I point and laugh, you don't know why
You and your walk, wow, so great
But then again, you're yet so fake

Come on down, off that high horse
And meet the truth behind your sores
Mocking are you, the one all mighty
I have some cards, still up my sleeve

Back away or lose the game
'Cause you're playing by my rules, in this game
You better learn, or pay the price
This game is far more then a vice

A game of cards we do not play
For the truth is yet so very vain
Come off your trip, and learn the ways
Are you so dumb, as to think
I've fallen for your little ways?

With a snap, you summon me
Now with a clap a banish thee
Silly you, the fool so great
I'm sorry my king, but I'm not your slave

Hormones are your brains my king
So easy is it for me to see
Now you can learn for I banish thee
And you persuade, little old me?
Never I say, and never shall it stay.
