Lizard King: An Ode to Jim Morrisson
I am a major fan of Jim Morrisson (of the Doors) and his writing and love listening to 'An American Prayer' for inspiration...This is a tribute to him I wrote:
The snake unwinds its slithery trail,
The shining leather gleams with the oil,
As the sand makes wriggles, entangled,
Smooth and fast, like feathers on velvet
Velvet that burns hot and bright yellow
The grains reflect the sun, make a stellar
spectacle of the galactic desert dunes,
The whisky trickles from the jar, drop by drop
Sublimating into sweet sickly vapour
It sets on fire and spreads like one
Reducing all around to ash and rubble.
Charred remains and burnt edges of past emotions,
memories and relations once thought to exist,
Embrace the poison, take the bite and discover
A sick pleasure in slow decay as life & time slip by...
R.I.P. Jim Morrisson: brilliant writer, crazy rocker, handsome stud and 'wasted genius'
