Best Allusions Poems

Swim above light your 
gift will lather you with 
sweet blood but

Bare your mean frantic 
friend and leave to 
deliriously

Luscious sweet skies 
in our vision of true 
love together......

They thought he might be a queen
Bohemian, yes but not dumb
If he wore pink, Floyd didn't care
Claiming to be comfortably numb

He loved being high as the eagles
In a hotel, California style
When locked out, though he'd turn purple
Haze checked, he'd Jimi it in style

He once asked...
