Human?

what is human?
is it the great mind and will?
is it the emotions?
is it the civilization?
is it the tameness?
or is it the artistry?


is it the DNA?
is it the conscience?
is it the hatred?
is it the eyes,
looking deep into the soul?


well then i'd have to say that
i may have the blood, but i will
never have the Human Soul
i AM forever primordial
and forever HUNTING

The Moon Weeps

A great glowing orb sinks behind the horizon
Another sphere, silver and shimmering, rises to take her brother's place
Farewell Apollo, greetings Diana
Cast your light upon this hurt little girl
Fill her with your understanding and love
Do not let her weep in anguish


She looks up to the silvery orb
Diana's light glitters, filling the girl's tears with specks of fairy dust
The girl stands up, lifting her arms
"Diana," she whispers, "take me home"


Silver light surrounds the girl

you are the one

you are the one
who's face i see
each night in bed
wishing you near to me
you are the one
who's hear I hold
and feelings I find more sacred
then my own


you are the one
who's touch I crave
for which every night
I hope and pray


you are the one
who i desire
your love and embrace
eternally I recquire.

A Biography of Vampira (Maila Nurmi)
When an image enters the popular imagination, its origins can become difficult to trace. How many people can name the silent film in which a heroine was first tied to railroad tracks by a snarling evildoer? Or the western in which a lock-jawed hero first told the bad guys to Reach for the sky!?
