For they remind me of you
So bright
Yet so far
I’m in love with the stars
I find myself staring at the night sky far too often...

tilted
my halo
at life, for kicks;
and life kicked back.

My hand is home to all my dreams
Writing poetry
Here I am
Writing poetry again
Instead of talking to you

Good night my love
Alone I lay
The heart grows heaver
With the end of day
A wandering mind
In a maze of rhymes
Gathering poetry
From vanished times
Lovers eyes
Slit the night
A poetic mind
Possesses sight
To see the wrong
In an artistic light
Where the beauty
Of pain sadly ignites
And there a spark
In the dread of dreams
A mirror reflection
Of what could have been
While alone I lay
In my dark room
Rocking and a rolling
And a howling
At the moon

"He came from outer space to save the human race",
Black lips and painted face,
It was acquired taste,
You came so far,
You were not here long,
I still cry when I hear “The Cold Song”
A “Total Eclipse”
Life is not always fair,
But “Lightning Strikes”
And you were there,
Nomi,
Nomi,
What can we do?
Your name was a song,
But no one knew you…
And when you reached with lesioned
hands,
Friends backed up,
They did not understand,
You entertained,
We asked, what is it?
You said Nomi,
But no one would visit.

Performance pop history!  Does anyone remember him?  I found my vinyl and went there. Watch the documentary on YouTube! So sad he died of AIDS in the hospital. Early 80's!  Fear and ignorance. No one visited him
