STONE ROSES

Here it comes,
this is the daybreak,
what the world has been waiting for,
and it's high time
to ride on all across the sands,
breaking into heaven,
where angels play,
the hardest thing in the world
was to break out of these tears,
I am without shoes,
I was going down, nowhere fast,
a tragic roundabout,
an ice cold cube,
made of stone,
I took the fall
with a headfull of fool's gold, asking myself, how do you sleep?
But now I wanna be adored
and say bye bye badman,
a voice inside says your time will come,
for this is my second coming,
I am the resurrection
and now have found my elephant stone,
I'm standing here
as something's burning inside,
groove, groove harder,
I will never shoot you down
for you are my waterfall,
don't stop, my one love,
my heart on staves,
for love spreads
like a ten storey love song,
your star will shine again,
and I know you, this is the one,
you are all I want, by my side,
I'm begging you,
my sugar spun sister,
to tell me
you love me as I do you,
even just a little bit,
never to fall off our tightrope
of mersey paradise,
for the sun still shines
upon the good times and the bad,
but we will always be,
and our souls of two become one love,
always and forever,
as permanent and precious as
stone roses.

(Note: Though I dislike found poetry, I ve been doing these 'bastardized' forms of it for years now (in fact probably my own creation/form)- as I feel my form of it is more unique, original and very hard to write coherently. I've done similiar poems using the works of The Doors, Kate Bush, Blue Oyster Cult, The Monkees, Jane's Addiction, The Police, Led Zeppelin and others. Song and album titles of a band cannot be copyrighted, so there are no legal repercussions.. I must make special mention of this poem as it is one I've worked on/wanted to do for nearly 15 years. It has a spwecial meaning to me in many ways, and is my favorite of all these types I've done. This is my tribute to the power of music (as these songs have seen me through times good and bad, had a vast influence on my life), it is also my tribute to a band often overlooked but deserving of greatness (their first album is always in the top 100 of British music, but never was huge in the USA), and lastly this piece cam together in a way that describes my life, alone and then when someone very special entered it to change my life and love forever in ways mere words will never describe. This piece contains the song and album titles of 50 recordings by the STONE ROSES (Ian Brown, John Squire, Gary "Mani" Mournfield, and Alan "Reni" Wren). I implore you to buy their 1st cd- hopefully it will grow on you and become part of your life as it has mine)

(This poem is dedicated to Terry, my love my life, my dream)
