The Lizard King

( Written with the tune 'Riders on the storm' in mind) Unpredictable and wild At times a Jekyll then a Hyde. A rebel on the run Just looking to have fun. But when he began to sing His voice would draw you in They called him 'Lizard King'. A fleeting honeymoon He left this life too soon. Creatively inclined He sometimes lost his mind. Like a tune without a beat His life was incomplete; A medley bittersweet. 15.05.19 'Writers on the storm contest' : Sponsored by Chantelle Anne Cooke

As a great Doors fan, I loved this. Too soon many creators leave us. Noel from NoelsArt

I'm really grateful for your feedback,Noel. It only really works if you fit the words to the 'Riders of the storm' melody but I'm glad it appealed to you.
