AURORA’S SONG
A thousand deaths I have died
And many tears I have cried
But look at me, I’m still alive
I begged but the devil wouldn’t take me
It was even worse to have the creator forsake me
So I live on in this wretched state
Forbidden from heaven or hell’s gates
They made it clear that I was damned
But I simply did not wish to understand
Inside my veins my blood is cold
Still I live on both young and old
I perceive the world in a sinister light
Where I’m bound to eternal night
Death is not a foe now, he’s a friend.
He stops by every now and then
I’ve asked him more than once to take me
That this is a dream from which he should wake me
Each time he’d toss his head back and with a laugh he’d say
‘I’m sorry little one,it’s never worked that way’
He pleaded and coaxed and said he would wait
Until the day I accepted my fate
With demon speed the years flew by,
And at last there were no more tears to cry
Without much left to do , I conquered the night
From that moment on , all wrong became right
My reign has just begun, but I’m afraid I have no heir
I hunt for a companion or successor
So mortals beware

THE VIKING I NEVER MET
It will lead the way
they said
It will heal the pain
they said
It did
I admit
So,
Though the destination is uncertain I will keep running over STOP signs and jumping the traffic lights
The journey will never end
Like a Kenyan matatu I WILL NOT STOP until there is a physical barrier to tell me that that is the furthest I can go
And only then when I get to the limt I will I activate my super power
A power that only you know, my super power
My after good night sleep well super power
The super power I was afraid to tell you about super power
I thought that the world was round or flat
And then I found out that it is roundly flat and flatly round ,
that I can love without a sound
that blood is the best way to be bound
when Magnolia blooms in red
I learned that we are only human
but love was made for us because
we are only human
and no matter what we do or don’t
we are only human
and this is for me and you
you and me
my human.
