Words should not be corked like a fine vintage
wine, let them take flight soar into the ether.
For who knows where or what I'm saying
begins or ends...does it really matter?

Crying out for time, in need of respite,
the lacuna of this page beckons me like
a charismatic muse...believing in ones self,
giving light and energy to the desires of the people.

Hi there alice, you know you may be right about manzarek now with jim, although mazarek did believe that maybe, jim was still alive, but of that we'll never know. I wrote this while watching a documentary about Jim Morrison the poet, it was on BBC 4. Then the strange thing was, that when I woke next morning, that was when I heard the news of Manzarek death. Very sad. I'm so pleased you liked this poem and thank you for letting me know, it means a lot. Jenny.

A lovely read Jenny, I didn't realise Manzarek was that sort of age, then again we all wonder where the time went. Hope you're well and all the best to you.

Hi there FB, good to hear from you again, it's been a long time. Yeah I was shocked at his death, and like you said also about his age. You tend to forget people grow older, when you don't see them for many years. Manzarek actually founded the Doors, I think people forget that and seem to focus more on Jim, but I suppose that's life. Anyway again thanks for stopping by, always appreciated. Jenny.
