Aram Stefanian Poems

You've already learned the strict do's and don't's
If you follow them, you're good for nothing
Happy after getting brownie points?
While breaking rules, you're onto a good thing
...

Alice was back in the infamous house on Elm street
It seemed silent, except for a pair of running feet
A china doll just missed her head, crashing to the floor
A tricycle started riding by itself and stopped at the door
...

Why can't you stop crying in your beer?
The problem addicts bore the pants off me
Get a life! You can overcome your fear
Together, we can go on a weekend spree
...

You look like a sleeping beauty
In a crystal coffin in the forest
Unlike the fairy tale, my fervent
Kisses ain't gonna wake you up
...

Numbed out on angel dust, you try to zap the demons inside
Not in the know that they're on a little joy ride
Feeding you a crackpot idea like gobbling the sun
As soon as the eternal night falls, the deal is done
...

The real YOU turns loose and floats in the air, looking down
At the useless shell of your former body in amazement,
Feeling light and careless, so unafraid of the unknown.
There's no pain, you're filled with euphony of the firmament:
...

You wish you could nuke prenatal haunting memories
Of being confined in the stygian aqueous space.
Dead to the world, yet wide awake in your ghostly reveries
To the danger of plummeting to earth at a snail's pace.
...

A red and yellow falling leaf outside my window
Reminds me of my shattered sympathetic heart.
I wish I could never with my adolescence part
To be on the same wavelength with Evan Dando.
...

He said, ''I am at nonstop war with the Princes of Hell.
I'm gunning for brave demon fighters. Ready for this? ''
I told him I didn't mind, but I was lacking in skill.
''Just let it all hang out, ' he said, ''And nothing will go amiss.''
...

My guardian angel had me fill his shoes for a day:
I got a bang out of flying over the rotating Earth.
By gorgeous mainlands and oceans was I blown away,
Hoping my eagle eye would lead me to my native hearth.
