Poem based on titles of Eagles Songs

 

Tequila Sunrise

Witchy Woman

New Kid in Town

Desperado

Life in the Fast Lane

Hotel California

In the City

After the Thrill is Gone

One of These Nights

Hole in the World

 

 

 

 

Passionate Affair my head throbbed like a jackhammer in full bore my eyes felt like pieces of eighty grit sandpaper it was another Tequila Sunrise which was no surprise when we first met, I was her bad boy, Desperado type, she was my Witchy Woman I was the New Kid in Town, she was an old hand In the City we both liked to live Life in the Fast Lane we first met at the sleazy, time worn Hotel California our love affair set my life on fire and left me feeling on top of the world it all came crashing down when she said what do we do After the Thrill is Gone I knew she was angling for a way to end it she finished her drink cooly stood up and walked out no word of goodbye nor tear in her eye she left a gaping supermassive black Hole in the World I was sucked in to the hole with no chance to escape tequila was my only relief I live in hope that One of These Nights I will find another just like her
