With Poppy Red I Paint It Black

Feeling rife with satisfaction, I paint it black, hours, minutes, seconds, let it bleed as tears go by. Time waits for no one, she’s so cold - no looking back; wild horses in my veins and I’m a fool to cry. Hours, minutes, seconds, let it bleed. As tears go by, can’t you hear me knocking, Heaven? gimmee shelter..! Wild horses in my veins and I’m a fool to cry ~ sweet brown sugar is waiting for me to melt her! Can’t you hear me knocking? Heaven, gimme shelter, sympathy. For the devil shattered paradise; sweet brown sugar is waiting for me to melt her. Life, a beast of burden - shooting my tumbling dice. Sympathy for the devil shattered paradise. Waiting on a friend; sister morphine. I’ll miss you life. A beast of burden shooting my tumbling dice, it’s all over now, give the damn devil his due. Waiting on a friend. Sister morphine, I’ll miss you. Time, waits for no one... she’s so cold, no looking back. It’s all over now. Give the damn devil his due feeling rife with satisfaction... I paint it black.

Thank you for visiting my "Stones" poem, J. I'm so happy to know that we share a love for their awesome musical artistry. This was a fun yet challenging contest. Fortunately, the Stones have created so much music that I had plenty of song titles to form a story from.. their music is such an inspiration to me! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

I see a line of cars and they're all--- sympathizing with the devil, who has painted them black...Well-woven musical-poetic tapestry, with streaming demonic imagery snuffing out your the sweetness of your naturally angelic altruism. Oh, Susan, say it isn't---Ah! Great, great poem. No need to say 'good luck' in the contest here. This poem is pure skill. Luck doesn't really figure in...except in your stars: May THEY always be lucky ones, my dear friend. :)
