To Bob Marley

You were  the heart of us,
Throat of musicians,
King of reggae,
A mad singer,
Created hearts on guitar,
Breathed love on each   note,

Cannabis on your lips,
Fragrance's to music,
Weed stain on your lips,
Symbol of ecstasy,
Long curly hairs,
Frills your notes.

you were the 'one love',
Notes were flesh and, meat for us,
To chew and swallow.

you never died,
Dipped yourself ,cell by cell,
In celestial music,
 For angels to dance .
