Savage lust of a childlike infancy
Your soul weeps in intricate ways
Mystical poet of the night
Let your words of wisdom take flight
Sweet is the wilderness of the forest
Dancing with raindrops from the darken sky
Your voice still echoes throughout
Your phantastic L.A. where you once roam
The city streets beneath your feet
While singing a child's lullaby
To your humble distant cry
A multi-colored rainbow graces your fragile
And lovely spirit and singing birds fly the baby blue sky
Singing your name to the wind
In a state of white hot emotion
You enter the hot dream
And watch the butterfly scream from above
With grace and disillusionment in the afterglow
Sacred vision, erect inquisition of the pale forest
The sun's burning rays will lighten the way
To your peaceful and forsaken kingdom
Electric philosophical poet, erotic shaman
You walk among the masses who like you
Will want to break on through to the other side
Where the madness and pain is no longer an option
But a rather sweet and gentle grave in which
To rest your battled and scarred heart in comfort until eternity
The mistral winds and sands of time
Have blessed your entrance into the palace of exile
That you spoke about in your poems
Angel of Rock, you are the prince of philosophical poetry
And your wisdom and legacy will continue to reach and inspire
Generations to follow in your wake
Death came like a blazing rocket trailing the infinite sky
Your angel wings will carry your torch
High into the realm of tragic youth and misunderstood alligence
Where fate has sealed your name in the lips of men of genius.
