Poem for Jim and Ray
It is my belief that Jim Morrison is probably the greatest rock poet of all time. However, without Ray Manzarek, The Doors would never have come to be. Only he could have woven the amazing tapestry of melody that The Doors are revered for.
Please understand that I'm not some kind of groupie. I have the utmost respect for Jim and Ray. I'm simply having a little fun with these titles in their honor. I hope the guys are out there somewhere in the Universe, and maybe they'll pick up on my vibe and dig it!
Rest in peace, Ray and Jim.
Here is my poem.
Hello, I Love You, pretty baby
Come aboard my Crystal Ship
We'll be Riders on the Storm together
It doesn't matter what the weather
We'll sail away from this unhallowed place
In which the People are Strange
We may hear the songs of sirens as we travel
But When the Music's Over, our love still won't unravel
I need you so bad, you can Love Me Two Times
I'll let you be my Backdoor Man
You know my love is real and not pretend
I'll stay with you until The End
~Wanda~
"We may hear the songs of sirens as we travel" - so true.
ReplyDeleteA nice tribute to both Jim and Ray.
ReplyDeleteThank you both for stopping by! :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely weaving of all the titles ~ My favorite part is the second verse, our love still won't unravel ~
ReplyDeleteThank you, Heaven, on behalf of Wanda.
ReplyDeleteWanda, I dig it, and if Ray and Jim pick up on your wavelength, I'm sure they will too!
Love your commentary. The Doors have a sound no one can duplicate. I like how you weaved the song titles into a love poem. Thank you so much for participating in the challenge!
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of Wanda, thank you, Susie. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery good weaving in here! Excellent tribute to two talented men.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Peggy, on behalf of Wanda.
ReplyDeleteVery unique sound, The Doors. One always knows it's them! Clever use of all the titles!
ReplyDelete..and to think that I had never even heard of these people...
ReplyDeleteThey obviously meant a lot to many. Your song of songs would sound nice sung.
Margaret, it is indeed a unique sound!
ReplyDeleteAprille, I imagine you are very young. T'is time to hit You Tube and get addicted! There are none other like The Doors.
At the ripe old age of 71 .. I can tell you listening to The Doors makes me want to dance, makes my spirit soar, makes me feel 17 again!!!! Great poem.
ReplyDeleteHi Helen. I'm 45 (will be 46 soon) and my late uncle is the one who introduced me to the Doors. He had all the best music! I still love them and miss him. I know that Wanda will appreciate your comment. (I'm another team member for this blog.)
