More Poetry from my new book (out 2013)
ROCK STAR
It’s safe to open the blinds now
The sun has gone down
I’ve had a vampire kind of day
The sun’s rays could not disperse the fog
Surrounding my thoughts
So it was banished.
I see that you have called
Written messages
Messages saying you understand
Feel my pain, my sadness
You send me healing energy, love
A shoulder to rest on
You are a faithful friend.
But I need a Vampire rock star
I need to be loved fiercely
I’ll take that healing, that love
I may even rest briefly on that shoulder
But I need a fucking warrior princess
Yes I’ve been through a lot
But I didn’t do it crawling on my knees
Whimpering, looking for pity, asking for handouts
I scratched, I clawed, I survived.
Yes, I am tired now
And some days the fog hides my path
But right now I need a vampire rock star, a warrior princess
Because I need to bring it
With a god damn vengeance
This time it’s a battle for my life
And I need a Warrior princess,
Vampire rock star
Cuz I’m ready to feed.
