In the company of Paris graves
Near La Piaf and Oscar Wilde,
Jim Morrison – famed Pop Rock child.
Iconic singer of «The Doors»
Psychedelic inspiration scores
Youth counter-culture, Hall of Fame
Six great albums to his name.
In UCLA Kafka and Rimbaud
Inspired him as did Jean Cocteau
LSD and Baudelaire
Balzac, Nietzsche, Molière...
'Love her Madly', 'Light my Fire'
The Sixties mantra does not tire
Ed Sullivan's invited guest;
Drugs, alcohol and heart arrest...
Dependency his spirit stole
At twenty-seven - burnt-out soul...
Death stalked in Paris' quatrième;*
His like we shall not see again...
(c) Poet in the woods 2017
*on July 3rd, 1971 - Rue Beautrellis, 75004 Paris
Jim Morrison's grave
