Aram Stefanian Poems

You didn't realize that it was a master of disguise
Who left you alone in the macabre nether world
Was he sold on your soul, or was it no bargain?
A tagless jerk suffering from solitude, you're spooked
...

I got an eyeful of Valhalla, and it was freezing cold
Trying to work myself up to greeting unfamiliar souls
I asked, ''Que pasa amigos! Trouble with central heating? ''
They cold-shouldered me, just one lad came up to me
...

I wish I was sent back to my distant one-time planet
To revel in bathing in magical rays of the emerald sun.
Since time is no master there, I won't suffer a reverse.
If I meet my pet Pegasus, nothing's gonna spoil the fun.
...

You wish you could get the whole enchilada
To rule over the world and be the firstest with the mostest.
Being a mortal, all you can take with you is nada,
Your chance of having an eternal life is the fattest.
...

When out of the blue arose a winged entity before me,
I was so freaked out that chose to turn tail and run.
I watched the mythical bird say, ''I'm not a bat out of hell,
But the answer to your unfulfilled wish to fly.''
...

You recover consciousness after falling into a blackout
And wonder what's just happened to your keen vision.
Capable of seeing everything but yourself, you voice a doubt
If you still exist in time and space, or is that an illusion?
...

When a thunderbolt struck her beemer, Meg freaked out.
The brakes screeched as she tried frantically to stop the car.
It bumped against something, and Meg heard a piercing shout.
She got out and faced a winged entity looking so bizarre.
...

One Sunday afternoon when the sky was clear as mud,
A bright elliptical shaft of light descended upon the earth.
All the eyewitnesses later contracted the creeping-crud
And transformed into monsters claiming they were of alien birth.
...

Out of nowhere appeared a dark angel before Tor,
A fear inspiring messenger with piercing blue eyes
Who said, ''That we'll fly into heaven now, I'm sure.
I need a trusty pard to tab those rebels in disguise
...

Tor saw stars and had a flashback to the Dark ages.
He stood on a narrow deserted street of his hometown.
Seeing a remote chapel, he covered a distance in early stages.
A loud shriek came from the inside, ''I'll shoot you down! ''
