Aram Stefanian Poems

Night riders thru the endless speed tunnel
The sunset wind blowing upon our frozen faces
The road is too rough and our decision's final
Gotta flee to a far spot where no one can find us
...

When Jesus Lopez fell out, his pump nearly stopped
He slipped into a coma for a week, a hopeless case
Nobody noticed how a tiny shred out of his body hopped
And a weird smile appeared on his pale lifeless face
...

One day you'll be driven out of the planet Earth
To leave for a new world more than giga miles away
And find out that you were also extraterrestrial by birth
To enjoy feeling free from the gravitational sway
...

You wanna sprout wings and fly away to heaven
To become a messenger of God and carry out His will
Offering loving wisdom and guidance to any human
Dedicated to serve and to heal all who are taken ill
...

Am I a sap hanging around on this alien planet
A dream digger, or maybe a fifth wheel of a seer?
I used to buzz along saddling the tail of the comet
Once a medium among scattered stars, was I devoid of fear
...

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.''
