Chamber of Horrors
There is a place in the London fog
Where people are dystopian
During the darkest nights
Dressed in her gown of white
Chained to the walls of Madame Tussauds
To visit you our love forebodes
I'll sneak in this dark abode
Inside the gallery I pass the hours
The wax museum's chamber of horrors
Where we fell in love
I took her off the pedestal
To shower her with kisses
Under the misty glow
From gas lamps that light this show
I've come to be with my love tonight
I'll hold her in my arms so tight
And dance with the mannequin
A fantasy romance from visiting
The wax museum's chamber of horrors
Where we fell in love
Chained to the walls of Madame Tussauds
I'll visit you our love forebodes
Dance with the mannequin
The galleries have all closed within
The wax museum's chamber of horrors
Where we fell in love
We fell in love
Fell in love

Crowned With Roses
An open grave
Awaits my love
You've left me
All alone
And I’ll mourn you
With roses
Goodbye my darling
I enjoyed our time being together
I will miss you
See you my love
In heaven
When all the years
Have passed me by
I’ll remember
The tears I cried
And I’ll never forget you
The leaves in the churchyard rustle by
You know how much I’ll miss you
When I visit
Your tombstone crowned with roses

Graviton
Constellations of zodiac
Hypothetical graviton
Preposterous string theory
Grand un-unified flurry
Gravity is the strong and weak nuclear forces in a planetary mass. It cannot be quantized with quantum mechanics. Newton stated: There’s a power of gravity tending to all bodies proportional to the quantities of matter which they contain. Physicist's futile imaginary hopes postulate about a graviton particle that generates this gravitational force.
When the stars appear
Some strobing and glowing
All through the night
Vast expanse of space
No quantum of gravity
Grand Unified Theories fail to dig up a graviton out of the standard model. Einstein could not unify the theories because he was not an original thinker. He appropriated and plagiarized his theories from Poincare, Lorentz, Newton, and others. But science reveres its figureheads, even when history is cheated.
When man pierced the sky
With rockets they study
Astronomy
God's celestial feat
Stands mighty
Eternal Forever
Graviton is alchemy
General Theory of Relativity
Higgs Boson God particle
Quantum theory reality

I'm Not Your Harlequin
I’m not your Harlequin
Although I wear this mask
It is with shame to be a mannequin
This burlesque comic charade
My heart bleeds to wash with blood
Away the stain
Of your deception
I’m not your Harlequin
I took you off the streets
Like an orphan
I was such a fool
You toured with me on the stage
And when the final curtains closed
I'd get sick with the fever and folly of love
The hope I had for love
But was blinded with delirium
If not for love
Then pitiful mercy
And all the sacrifices made
Within my broken heart
I believed more in you
Trusting more than in God himself
What evil lies in your soul
So dark and neglected
So heartless out of your mind
And out of all good sense
Go away leave me today
And take away your shame
Or in contempt I’ll crush you
Down beneath my feet
Aria: “No, Pagliaccio non son” by Rugerro Leoncavallo

Kiss of a Mermaid
Deep in the ocean
Swimming where she
Was in motion
One thousand leagues
Under the sea
She saw me
And followed
Cresting in the water
Drowned am I
Floating by
I died
Kiss of a mermaid
To give me life
Care and first aid
She rescued me
Beneath the deep
She saw me
And followed
Cresting in the water
Drowned am I
Floating by
I died
Capsized was my vessel
And dashed upon the rocks
Sinking through the fathoms
Lost and settling on a crag
Then she came to me
Quickly pulled me up to breath
But it was too late
Cannot deny my fate

Oedipus
Blood soaks my eyes
As I gouge them not to see you
Put on my death mask
For the drama
Oedipus Rex
Play the monarch
That enticed me
With some stagecraft
I mistook the Queen and
What length I've fallen
Just to be with you
The theater in Acropolis
A drama stage for two
Love my accomplice
The play is over
Yet I'm plagued now with this feeling
The passion of love
And betrayal
Runs hand in hand
When our love
Makes sacrifices
And I know
That there is more to life than
Taboos and forbidden love
Between us
The play is not quite over yet
My eyes are still bleeding
On with the tragedy

Rapunzel
Through the forest
As I rode
One day
All of a sudden I stopped to listen
Heard a sweet voice singing
Came from Over yonder
I went to see
There was an enchantress
Imprisoning her
Rapunzel
I love you
In a lone tower
Lives the maiden
So fair
Like a Grimm’s fairy tale
Near the garden bower
Climbed her golden hair
Her tresses like flax
Borne with flowers
And clad in white silk
Rapunzel
I love you
-
Species
Don‘t treat me
Like another species
Don’t mate like birds
Nor spawn like fishys
So vain you flaunt
In every action
You want to cause
A chemical reaction
In this jungle amongst creatures and bugs
The boy runs like a child
While the girl in the hut
Plays so vicious and wild
My DNA
Scattered in pieces
And portioned out
In a thousand kisses
A strand of hair
And genetic footprint
She’s so fair
It leaves an imprint
There in the petri dish of life
Grows the source of my love
Like cells multiplying in a harsh environment
My heart is infected
Like a crazy scientific experiment
-
The Candle
Wrapped in a shroud my love
Today they lay you to rest
And I wonder
Why no longer
This last time
Hold me to your breast
Now you must sleep my love
And dream of eternity
When the candle
On my mantel
Snuffs the flame
The life out of thee
When the pallbearers they lift your coffin
Covered with flowers
Funeral procession
Then God's Angels will take possession of you
Upward to follow them
Now that you’re gone my love
Where will you be going to
In heaven
A safe haven
Where my God
He has taken you
The undertaker will place you in a
Coach pulled by horses
Funeral procession
Marching slowly onto the cemetery
Where you will rest in peace
-
Under the Stars
The countryside covered in snow
The ringing bells in the steeple
Ring in the moonlit glow
All the ponds have turned to ice
It’s a skating paradise
But we’ll ride a sleigh tonight
A lonely road we’ll dash away
Hitch the horse to the harness
We’ll ride under the stars
Nestled with my love
An angel from above
So warm wrapped in my arms
My tender cooing dove
You’re my endearing love
---Chorus---
Take my love under the stars
Let's go out in a sleigh ride
Nestling with my love
An angel from above
So warm wrapped in my arms
My tender cooing dove
You’re my endearing love
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! She’s my love
Riding the sleigh tonight
With a chorus of angels
And the jingling of bells
With the neighing of horses
We’ll ride under the stars
Ride under the stars
We’ll ride under the stars
Robert Schumann Der Nussbaum Op 25 No 3

Voyage to Mars
On my voyage to Mars
Past the stars
For you
In cosmic bazaars
And quasars
I’ll find you there
All systems check on launch pad Pressurized module,
propulsion, guidance, and telemetry Gyros, Ignition, takeoff.
Thrust and throttle reaching escape velocity at supersonic speed
Coordinates of transponder comm data into the radio spectrum.
Receiving signals from my reconnaissance sensor probes.
On my voyage to Mars
Past the stars
For you!
Into cosmic bazaars
And quasars
I’ll find you there!
Traversing the universe in my space capsule
Into the gravitational vortex waves of the red planet;
The Doppler shift and parallax;
My vector trajectory to establish orbit,
Then down in angle of descent,
Igniting afterburners for touchdown on the LZ
To make contact with you in the northern quadrant.

Cortez
He sailed to a faraway land
That was unknown to any man
Upon arriving on the seashore
He beached his galleons on sand
He was tempted with tales of gold
More than ships store could hold
Over the treetops great temples shown
Where the natives sacrificed and ate their own
He gird himself for war
With bucklers, lance, and the sword
And when his cannons fired and roared
His horse ran down the fleeing horde
Onward through forest and over mountains
Through water torrents
Crossing the rivers gushing like fountains
Facing the natives massed by the thousands
The battles continued on and on
When it all ended winning the fight
There in the mist beholding a sight
A native slave girl given as prize
Beautiful Aztec princess
Then he reached the city of gold in the lake
And vowed that he was going to take
Helmets, breastplates and cannons lost
Many men died was the cost
Some men were burdened with so much gold
They sank and drowned is how it’s been told
The Spanish knights winced like sparrows
Through a gauntlet of stones and arrows
Those lucky enough to survive
Got dragged away and taken alive
Their hearts taken from their chest ripped open
And their bodies eaten as a token
Memories of better times back in Spain
Charming and gallant
Woo senoritas and entertain
Courtships and romance how life was back then
Adventurous life of Cortez
Nobles with titles grandees and Knights
Dancing with ladies late in the night
Lovers kiss under the moonlight
From Saville to Barcelona
All the Aztecs were so fierce
Spanish lances did they pierce
Brought their empire to an end
That they could not defend
So bold he marches on
With gold by the ton
The war being won
And the conquest just begun
Back in Spain with triumph and with glory
And the fame the soldiers tell his story
Of Cortez Conquistador
From a theme by Franz Liszt/Rhapsody Espaniol

In a Dungeon
In a dungeon
Of the French Bastille
From its Towers
Shading bowers
Where my heart was imprisoned
Whilst they charged me with treason
For my love
To the gallows
And the guillotine
Then conspire
Burned with fire
I prithee please have mercy
When you found me unworthy
Of my love
Once our lives in better days
When we pledged our vows
Paris spree and love carefree in spring
Trothed to you perchance I’ll falter
Fleeing from your charms
Thou art fair maiden
Courtier of the Queen
Pretty lass of dainty class
Anon to be shortly with me
Twain I sought privy counsel
When love sealed my fate
-Recital----
In stone castles
And ivory towers
where courtiers flatter
The sovereign’s powers
Mark this well,
There within corridors murmur
Behind marble effigies
Of bygone kings in armor
Vouchsafe the whispers
Of a lover’s tale in secret rendezvous
Quivering with candles in soft footsteps,
Run the two
Where a lovely mademoiselle
Pledged for a king’s ransom to kiss
This suitor groaning
To the ministering angels for bliss
Ay marry! I pleading curtsey
Desperate on bended knee
‘Twas misfortunes to cast
Priceless pearls hither from me
I but a knave wooer
And the damsel above rubies
Taken by the Queen’s henchmen
To my fate, his duties
But removed from the courtyard
In chains and so fraught
Yoked under heavy guard
To this place I am brought
Thus was my sin
Pursued my dear lady
To what end I know not
To love her so madly
I leave you with this last piece of advise
If one day you find love in disguise
Do not your consort make,
Best be alone, and wise
Notturno pour piano/Canzone Napolitana by Franz Liszt
