Visitors
They visit you sometimes
Emptiness’ entourage stares at you
With faces of
Blank walls and slimy snake hands
They bite
But you do not really die
Though you feel a little numb
Irritated
So you think of that as something
Only scary,
Just like ennui slumping
On an old hunchback’s body
Touching your face and squeezes
You to some semblances of
Pain,
But you are not
Even scared a little bit,
You learn as early as a
Naughty school boy, that
These two and others more
Visiting you, lots of other shapes
And other weird forms
Fire trees burning, and
Sea breeze with spikes
And grenade fruits hanging
Machine gun fences and
Plum dusks and grey metallic
Twilights & fire breathing dragons
Spitting bullets,
Soon,
By the constancy of
Their visits, they, after all
Are not that scary or damaging to you
Anymore, than you
Scaring them with some of
Your fits and
Seizures
As always they come without
Warning and they look at you
With their broken shapes and
Twisted faces, sometimes
Louder in their
Inventions of noise
And psychedelic hysterics
And fanged
And horned
Tailed and tasseled
You look at all of them so tired
Turn
To another side of your bed
Pull a blanket to your head
Wiggle a little bit, and slump
Your legs on a bigger pillow
With
Now, your back at them,
You ultimately
Don’t give a damn, you’re tired of
These scary boring visitors
Uninvited and rude
Then comes the time
Snubbing,
You become rude like them
“Go away, leave me alone! ” you mumble
Sound sleep steps in
Your room, the weird
Visitors can harm no more,
And they leave, or if they stay
So what
You are very tired and so used to all their bearings.
“Who scares? ”
nobody, anymore, after all.

Is It Scary?
Theres a ghost out in the hall
Theirs a goul beneath the bed
Now its coming through the walls
Now its coming down the stairs
Then theres screaming in the dark
Hear the beating of his heart
Can you feel it in the air
Ghosts be hiding everywhere
Im gonna be
Exactly what you wanna see
Its you whose haunting me
Your warning me
To be the stranger
In your life
Am I amusing you
Or just confusing you
Am I the beast
You visualised
And if you wanna to see
Eccentrialities
Ill be grotesque
Before your eyes
Let them all materialise
Is that scary for you baby
Am I scary for you oh
Is it scary for you baby
Is it scary for you
You know the stranger is you
Is it scary for you baby
Theres a creak beneath the floor
Theres a creak behind the door
Theres a rocking in the chair
But nobody sitting there
Theirs a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin and a yawnin
Where restless souls spoke
Im gonna be
Exactly what you gonna see
So did you come to me
To see your fantasies
Performed before your very eyes
A haunting ghostly treat
The foolish trickery
And spirits dancing
In the light
But if you came to see
The truth the purity
Its here inside
A lonely heart
So let the performance start
Is that scary for you baby
Am I scary for you oh
Am I scary for you baby
Am I scary for you
So tell me is it scary for you baby
So tell me is it crazy for you baby
Am I scary for you
You know the stranger is you
Am I scary for ya
Masquerade the heart
Is the height of haunting souls
Just not what you seek of me
Can the heart reveal the proof
Like a mirror reveals the truth
See the evil one is you
Is that scary for you baby
Am I scary for you oh
Am I scary for you baby
Is it scary for you
So tell me am I scary for you baby
Am I scary for ya baby
Is is scary for ya baby
Am I scary for you
(I dont wanna talk about it)
Am I scary for you baby
Am I scary for you
Im tired of being abused
You know youre scaring me too
I see the evil is you
Is it scary for you baby

Scary But Fun
The first time you rode your bicycle down the streets, you fell on your hands,
(? ) and bruises, the first time you dropped then you ran,
Scary but fun, take a chance in life you have one/won,
A little bit scary, but fun, did you forget what its like to be young?
I remembered I learned how to water-ski, and the road ran over my head,
Broke several bones in my body, I got right up and did it again
Scary but fun take a chance in life you have one/won,
A little bit scary, but fun, did you forget what its like to be young,
See you standing on the corner, watching lights as the action goes by,
Hearing music coming from the neighbour, as they sit in the silence, hear them cry,
Take to your wings, butterfly,
Scary, but fun, crazy, but so much fun,
Scary, but fun, crazy, but so much fun,
Scary but fun, take a chance in life you have one/won,
Scary, little bit scary, but fun, did you forget what its like to be young?
Fun! (x3)
Fun! (x3)
Fun! young! fun!
Im a little bit scary, but Im fun,
Just a little scary, but so much fun,
Fun.

Scary Monsters
She had an horror of rooms she was tired you cant hide beat
When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home
Well she couldve been a killer if she didnt walk the way she do, and she do
She opened strange doors that wed never close again
She began to wail jealousies scream
Waiting at the lights know what I mean
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
She asked me to stay and I stole her room
She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind
Now shes stupid in the street and she cant socialise
Well I love the little girl and Ill love her till the day she dies
She wails
Jimmys guitar sound jealousies scream
Waiting at the lights know what I mean
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, and super creeps
Keep me running, running scared

Sick And Tired
Got no time to be on the run,
Got no holes in my shoes,
You're the reasong all my friends have gone,
But I won't run from you.
So many promises, and you broke them all,
Oh I'll forgive, but I can't forget,
You know you're a fake, but I just can't take no more,
Cause I'm tired of it.
I'm so tired, so tired,
Sick and tired of it all,
I'm so tired, sick and tired,
I'm so tired, sick and tired of it all, yeah.
You turn the truth, then you turn your back,
You're a victim of yourself,
The hate remains, the hurting still exists.
I'm so tired of it all.
I'm so tired, sick and tired,
So damn tired, sick and tired of it all, oh yeah,
I'm so tired, I'M sick and tired of it all

Asleep Forever
Little boy where's your mom?
Little boy where's your dad?
Are you alone?
Don't cry.
I'm alone too.
I lost my mom and dad tambien
Come with me
We don't need them
Just like they don't need us
No, they didnt leave you.
Well, Why would they?
You seem like an ok kid
I'm sure they'll come back
But (sigh) I shall sit and wait with you
Because us lonely folk stick together that's why!
Yes that is a very scary face haha.
How's mine? (rawr)
hahaha. of course I'll be your friend
You must be tired (yawn) go to bed
I know theres not really a bed!
I was just saying to sleep little boy
Yes, yes I'll wake you when they come back for you.
Now rest your little head

Pain-Free
Teenage girl, seventeen years of age.
Tired of making stupid mistakes.
Tired of being put down.
All she wants to do is be happy.
And make her family proud.
She's locked herself in her room.
Her only safe haven.
Wondering what it would be like if she was never born.
Her mind a jumbled mess.
Tired of the constant scorn.
Tired of regret.
Tired of causing it on her family.
She looks at herself in the mirror.
And a stupid girl stares back at her.
Telling her: 'you're worthless all you do is cause pain, your ugly, annoying and weird you don't deserve to live! '
She sees the pills staring back at her.
Inviting her to be pain-free.
Telling her that all her pain and problems will go away.
She takes the pills and knows she will inflict no more pain on her family, friends, and herself.

Off Broadway
Hanging around Broadway, and I think I saw your face
Cars speeding by me, reminding me of us
Shuffle down to the watering hole
Getting tired and I want to go home
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
Used to be off Broadway
I miss your locket, and the way I felt inside
And I just cant stop it, hasn't killed me yet, but give it time
Shuffle down to the watering hole
Getting tired and I want to go home
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
Used to be off Broadway

Asthenia
Last night it came as a picture
With a good reason, a warning sign
This place is void of all passion
If you can imagine it's easy if you try
Believe me I failed this effort
I wrote a reminder this wasn't a vision
This time where are you Houston
Is somebody out there will somebody listen
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you
My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions
This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you

Sick And Tired (song)
Afraid to love and afraid to trust
I stand here today with a harden crust
I’m fragile and I’m weak but I have to be
Strong and tough but I just can’t see
All the lies that they have told me
To my face and
To my face and
To my face and
I’m sick and tired
I’m sick and tired
Of all the lies
All the lies
I’m sick and tired
I’m sick and tired
Of all the pain
All the pain
I don’t wanna be scared
I don’t wanna pretend
Anymore
Scared to love
And scared to trust
Pretending to be strong
With a hard crust
But deep inside
I’m weak and torn
And I’m trying to hide
I’m sick and tired
I’m sick and tired
Of all the lies
All the lies
I’m sick and tired
I’m sick and tired
Of all the pain
All the pain
I don’t wanna be scared
I don’t wanna pretend
Anymore
Unable to do what I wanna do
Unable to feel what I wanna feel
Unable to see what is meant to be
I can only wish that this wasn’t me
I can only wish that this wasn’t me
Cause I am
Afraid to love and afraid to trust
I stand here tonight with a harden crust
I’m fragile and weak but I have to be
Strong and tough but I just can’t see
All the lies that they told me
And I’m sick and tired
I’m sick and tired
Of lies and pain
I don’t wanna be scared and pretend
Anymore
I can only wish that this wasn’t me.

I Want To Fall In Love
9-4-07
I want to fall in love
I want to feel that rush
I want to feel that touch that drives strait into my soul
And echo’s throughout on my body
I want to feel the flutter of a million wings in my heart
I want to feel shivers of excitement roll down my spine
I want to fly within your arms
I want to be free
I’m tired of all these guys that don’t lead any ware
Tired of all these dead ends that get me no where
Tired of taking two steps forward and ten steps back
Tired of all the false hopes that this time
It might be love
Tired of wanting
With never having anyway to relieve it
I’m done with my body throbbing with the need of another
Tired of needing but never getting
I want to fall in love
I want to feel that rush that turns my knee’s to jelly
I want to feel that kiss that lights my soul on fire
I want to feel that touch that makes me want to melt into one
With you inside of me
I never want to feel like no one loves me
Like I need be loved
Again
I want to fall in love
I want to feel what it’s like to be your girl
Your woman
Maybe even your lover
I want to feel what it’s like to be in love
I want to feel what it’s like to be with you

To A Young Writer
i surf the faces of young writers
this one: bites his pencil and wanting to smile at the same time
(how could he do both?)
the other girl on the right side of the hall
with bangs is fat, chinky eyed,
wearing blue jeans
and collarless white shirt
she stares at the PowerPoint
four stones above each other
and on top a butterfly, a metaphor for transformation
each stone is a virtue
to achieve a pillar
soon,
the guy wants time to have wings
the girl breaks into laughter
he says he imagines feathers around his body
she breaks into laughter again
her point is: birds are not metaphors anymore
his point: she is numb, and she does not think anymore
awareness, silence, stone silence
pointlessly thoughts are useless with what is there
it is there already and all we can do is just see, feel, observe
and be touched by the hands of time
the body of language, the fingers of compassion, the strangled hair of doubt
spangled stars and running stripes
the eagle that ate all the stars
the apple that did not like the eight rays of the sun
i am tired this early morning.
Breakfast is served.

After A While...
when he was about to
leave me
for good, (that is what is usually
said)
he told me
Be not proud
for you too
shall have a share of those pains
just like the rest
and it is only when every
flesh of your body
gets numb
(i.e. it is too familiar
with pain that
it does not react anymore
to any
stimuli)
that you finally get
that reward
of what you have always sought
that
eternal peace
(i.e. it is not that the mind
becomes blank
like the closure of the windows
of the day
where you are led
into a dark room where you have
no choice but
sleep
forever,
no, no, no
it is not
it is never meant that way
it is this
you sleep
you are too tired
for almost everything
you do not remember
what happened
you wake up
light touches your face
plays with your
eyelids
you rise
again
a whisper leads you to
the door that opens
into a garden
it is such a beautiful garden
flowers that you have first seen
scents that you have never smelled before
there are sounds of
chirping birds
blue clouds
clear skies
a peaceful path
that takes you
to new friends
yes, my dear,
you are into another new beginning
you write again
those new letters upon a new language
that surprises you
with a higher
level of
understanding
yes, it is the wisdom
that faces you
upon a first
meeting.

Blank, Numb, Floating
it is 1: 55 a.m.
i hear the rain falling
she is fast asleep tired of the demands of her day
i leave her and she takes the pillow for me
i turn on the light
and see this room of books and paperworks
i turn on the computer
i am feeling nothing and i am floating like i am but a spirit
i am numb and i am feeling so dumb
i see this blank wall
i am feeling so empty
i look at her again
she utters words in her sleep and i will not wake her up
i lay my hands on the keys
run my fingers on some letters
there is nothing to write
in particular but there is something to run my fingers on
this feeling
this attempt to imitate the sound of the rain in letters
to put the motion of the rain to put its smell
to be wet and to have the rain run over me
all over me all over me all over me all over me
blank, numb, floating and wet
this is the poem now
at 2: 03 a.m.
it has gained finally this form
and scent and motion and color
that you have never seen
or felt the way
i do.

Red Devil
I stand on the edge
I can see all the cars
They look like ants
Bright fast paced ants
I look up and see the full moon
Its so bright
My bright ball of light
I take of swig of my tequila
Molten lava slides down my throat
I start to cry and i teeter on the edge
I look out on the city
All the bright lights
So full of life
I close my eyes and remember
I remember my red devil
Its all running through my mind
Im cowering in the corner
I throw my pillow at it
It shakes it off
I throw my teddys at it
It shakes it off
I press my self back against the wall
You crouch and stare at me
I cry and plead
It says nothing and stares at me
I cry and look at the door
I throw my blanket on it and run for it
I get to the door frame and smile
I feel a tight grip on my ankle and i fall n hit my head on the radiatior
I cry and grab onto the door frame
You grab my other ankle and pull me back into the room
I cry and plead
You pull me close to you
Im trapped in the red devils arms
You throw me on the bed
I scratch and try to scream
You cover my face and I cant breathe
Red devil
Red devil
Red devil burning red pain
Blood
Pain
Bodys on fire
Cant scream anymore
Get tired of it
Cant fight anymore
More blood
Red devil
Red devil red hot pain
I claw at the air
Some one save me
No one comes
Red devil wraps me in its arms
It starts to drag me to the red hot hell
I start to shake uncontrolably
My eyes roll back
I awake
Im back on that ledge
I remember it all
I feel the red devil again
Finally hes come back to claim me
He grabs me by my neck and pulls me over
I fall
I spread my arms out
Finally
The end is near
Smash
The end is here...

Slow Down
an actress
sooner the better for me
you should know by now
im not your friend
youre ravelled up
you take some time to come undone
you look so tired
i know your type
you storm out
and tear the walls,
the portraits down
its what you wanted
its how we are
take it or leave it
slow down slow down
i can stay awake for you
if you can stay awake for me
youre broken to break down
slow down slow down
im not so sure
so wait and see
i wake up
girlfriend im on your floor
you should know by now
im not so mad
its go time
youre barely dressed
but fully on
your painted eyes
you look so tired
i dont think i can trust love anymore
i dont think i can trust love anymore

Wizardly School
You may think my school is ordinary,
As many others are,
But forgive me ‘coz I don’t agree,
My school is a star.
I’m just a normal 12 year-old,
Who is quite shy at first.
But in my school you will find out,
Friends will quench your thirst.
My school is wizardly,
With teachers of every kind,
And there always seem to be,
A weird happening every time.
Sometimes the students are scared,
‘Cause there’s a banshee in the class,
And the beautiful school garden,
Has elves running fast.
It does sound scary, I know,
But sometimes it’s amazing,
To find fairies flying slow,
And griffins in the field.
Our talents are soon discovered,
We could make the sky thunder,
This scares but amazes us,
To others it’s a danger.
Next year I’ll be leaving this school,
To another just beside,
I wish it’s like the one I love,
It makes me shine so bright.
So long my bewitching palace,
And all my sorcerer friends,
I will pray for all of you,
May we meet again in the end.

As I Am
I'm a little broken
I'm a lot confused
I'm very tired and I've got nothing to lose
All I want to know is
Can you take me as I am
You've been searching
You've tested my love
You've been pushing hard to see what I am made of
And all I want to know is
Can you take me as I am
I can't close my eyes
Without seeing your face
And I know if you left
There'd be an empty space
And my life
I gave to you
My body and my soul
And now you tell me you don't love me anymore
And you don't understand what I'm crying for
Oh but please
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
As I am
And I'm not perfect
I don't know what that means
I've been working hard
On what I thought were our dreams
I guess I gotta know this
Just to where do I stand
I can't close my eyes
Without seeing your face
And I know if you left
There'd be an empty space
And my life
I gave to you
My body and my soul
And now you tell me you don't love me anymore
And you don't understand what I'm crying for
Oh but please
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
As I am
Oh but please
Don't leave me
As I am
I'm a little broken
I'm a lot confused
I'm very tired and I've got nothing to lose
All I want to know is
Can you take me as I am

Santa Monica
I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stupid game
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
Go and try to shake away this disease
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
I am still dreaming of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't want to be your good time
I don't want to be your fall back crutch anymore
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die

Tired
I can be your liar
I can be your bearer of bad news
Sick and uninspired by the diamonds in your fire
Burning like a flame inside of you
Is this just desire or the truth
So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
Hanging on this wire
Waiting for the day where I'll have to choose
Cursed by love so dire
One more boy for hire
One more boy to lend a hand to you
Is this just desire or the truth
So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired of you
I can be your liar
I can be your bearer of bad news
Sick and uninspired by the diamonds in your fire
Burning like a flame inside of you

Shame on me for the blues
