Lucy In the Sky

Have you ever listened to Rock Me Amadeus on Karaoke

I would rather be a Bat Out Of Hell on my Stairway To Heaven

And that is what they will have to sing when my box gets lowered

Sunk into eternity while the pastor's Guitar Gently Weeps


For Singing In the Rain we can be sure A Hard Rain is going to fall

Pitter patter on the Eve Of Destruction and Smoke On The Water

Overcoming Sounds Of Silence on a miraculous Yellow Brick Road

Funeral For A Friend Knocking On Heaven's Door Born To Be Wild 


I wish for a cacophony of voices a true concerto for a Tambourine Man

Honest and truthful recitations of Lucy Jordan when I cross the Styx 

Caron shouts Don't Pay The Ferryman for my ultimate Ticket To Ride

A Script For A Jester's Tear has to ooze gracefully and Slip Sliding Away


Dance Me To The End Of Love and don't forget The Famous Blue Raincoat

For it's The End Of The World As We Know it and The Doors know The End

The Song's Over and from now on it will be Radar Love on Telegraph Road

Another One Bites The Dust and I have peace Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Kai, Some of my all-time favorite artists & songs. You know I just had to listen to Leonard 'Dance Me To The End Of Love' once again. This poem truly rocks. -Richard

Hi Quoth TheRaven and thank you. Leonhard Cohen's muse is so poetic. I had the privilege to see him in concert in London and waltzed with my soul mate, lover and wife. They recorded that very concert and we cherish the CD and our memories. Happy Season's Greetings to you, Kai
