The Lizard King
Last night I shared a bottle of whiskey with Jim Morrison
he brought acid to the table
we may have been surrounded by indians
his soul jumped into mine
I had a vision of an ancient burial ground
I saw chaeos
He showed me a planet
"They have yet to find this" he said
He called it "Intemperance"
"We bring no wealth here" He said
"Wealth is good for one thing only. Dissipation."
He introduced me to a world of impurity
Events of debauchery
Women sacrificing their chastity
We danced around
with creatures
half human
half inhuman
I witnessed his death
I couldn't watch
He gave me a watch
it had a snakeskin strap
He said "It will give you any time you wish"
another room
faces
the faces stared
They said "Nothing is what it seems. The bus is waiting."
My watch said it wasn't time
The bus crashed into me
He said "It is impossible to live in a world in which I cannot breathe"
I told him he was alive
Another room
naked women
sexually entertained
they saw to my every wim
they saw to his every wim
We stopped at the morrison hotel
its walls adorned with the painting he could not get out of his mind
Napolian in exile
A serpent at the desk
Told me he was my eternal friend
I had a vision of a vast dessert
Ruled by a lizard who would be king
gentle screams of passion
souls over indulging in vices
A staircase
made of a a material not known to man
Guards at the top
dancing around on payote
a poem by William Blake
The door has been opened
The end

Hello, Richard
The poem is really nice. It actually shows what life would be to live in here for you. You brought all the visual pictures of an ‘Indian Burial Ground’ in your poem. Excellent imagination!!
Pleasure to read; thank you!
PS: Thank you for your concern, I am fine just had a writers block...Sorry.
Warm Regards,
Zuzanna
