POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Queen Navajo
Her magic hands
Play the drum all night
Her special friends
Heal their pain
And time passes by
Her magic mind
Echoes in the night
Her weary eyes
Spring the rain
And time passes by
Oh, Queen Navajo
Take us to the city
The place of our birth
So that we may retire
To our tents and dreams
It takes time
Nothing but time
Play the drum all night
Her special friends
Heal their pain
And time passes by
Her magic mind
Echoes in the night
Her weary eyes
Spring the rain
And time passes by
Oh, Queen Navajo
Take us to the city
The place of our birth
So that we may retire
To our tents and dreams
It takes time
Nothing but time

Of Flesh And Blood
Saw you, in a way
And before I figured out
Life lines were drawn
Not to be erased
You opened up your eyes
Grey and green, piercing shards
Jeweled water and the night sky
Once two, became one
You opened up your mouth
Touched your lips to mine
Made a kiss to make death jealous
Your words have branded my mind
Commanding and undisturbed
Every breath an art
For a swift moment
Before our lips met again
Still, I hold the memory
Wrapped as if a ring
Our love of flesh and blood ...

Who Scared You?
You're calling out for me
When I know I must stay away
We can both wish it was different
But that will do us no good
Don't come looking for monsters
or invoke ghosts of the past
Don't try to find me in places we used to go
Because I won't be there
But in spite of how much I know I should stay away
I'd come find you, if I knew you were in danger
And all I would ask is
Who scared you?
When I know I must stay away
We can both wish it was different
But that will do us no good
Don't come looking for monsters
or invoke ghosts of the past
Don't try to find me in places we used to go
Because I won't be there
But in spite of how much I know I should stay away
I'd come find you, if I knew you were in danger
And all I would ask is
Who scared you?

For The Weary Hitchhiker
Long hot days of an endless summer
Burning dead sun in the valley below
We tangled our dreams during our morning slumber
In an old house by the beach, untouched by the glow
The small road by the country side is silent
A few passing cars make their hissing sound
The FM radio is softly weeping
Pulling cool blankets over our unconsciousness
Awake
There's a scary overfriendly figure, you've brought to bed
A stranger, smiling, hiding under the warm bed sheets
You cannot remember when it was
Time slows down before you...
Burning dead sun in the valley below
We tangled our dreams during our morning slumber
In an old house by the beach, untouched by the glow
The small road by the country side is silent
A few passing cars make their hissing sound
The FM radio is softly weeping
Pulling cool blankets over our unconsciousness
Awake
There's a scary overfriendly figure, you've brought to bed
A stranger, smiling, hiding under the warm bed sheets
You cannot remember when it was
Time slows down before you...

Two
Only us
no one in the world
Close your eyes
and dream us home
Forver mine
I'll be forever yours
For a moment
frozen in time
no one in the world
Close your eyes
and dream us home
Forver mine
I'll be forever yours
For a moment
frozen in time

Now, now
We are now living the moments
we'll feel nostalgic about in the future.

Liquid Night
Night clubs, movies,
neon signs and rubies,
The stars shined like rhinestones in the sky.
Smooth laughter, cheap perfume
soft lies, electric bloom,
cigarette smoke filled up the room.
Night clubs, movies,

The stars shined like rhinestones in the sky.
He rode the highway west,
across the border
He left the chaos and disorder
and drifted away in the liquid night.

Thunder
Thunder, thunder burning bright.
Neon forests of the night.
What immortal hand or eye
could perform this design
What furnace forged the chain
and made you forget your name
What hammer hit the nail
that made you lose your brain
Thinking it is always the same
Thoughts of hope
Thoughts of pain
Thoughts smooth as pale blue skies
Thoughts are dripping through your brain.

Thoughts are dripping through your brain.

The Auditorium
He was drunk
Big party last night
Head spinning like a roller-coaster.
Darkness surrounded him as he sat down
and the auditorium went silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen we are about to begin."
announced the emotionless voice.
"The show for this evening is something you’ve seen before.
It is something all of you will most likely recall
and not some tale of ancient lore."
"We are here to get you out
and this fact no one can doubt."
"And where are we going?"
asked the girl in the...

Fear
It was early in the morning, she was lying on the floor motionless with an expression of terror. At first I thought it was just a clumsy fall. I wondered over to help her up, saying something funny to make her feel better.
She looked at me, frozen, straight in my eyes.
I tasted fear.
She looked at me, frozen, straight in my eyes.
I tasted fear.

Beast
A beast is caged in the heart of the city,
sweat oozing from its scaly skin.
The sheets felt like warm, dead prisons,
the motors outside growled like rabid dogs,
foaming in the summer heat.
The walls were painted dark green,
there was no sign of a door.
Beast in a cage,
flesh and rage,
tell me are you willing to stay?
Outside the guests entertained themselves
until the dawn found them kindly unaware,
asleep on the smooth carpet.
The feast was as promised.
