April -- NaPoWriMo 2023 Day 15 -- with "Higher, Higher--Fire, Fire, Fire!" -- and for The Sunday Muse

  

      Jim Morrison, Why  

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar 
If I was to say to you
Girl we couldn't get much higher.
Come on babe light my fire
Come on babe light my fire
Try to set the night on fire! 

    Jim Morrison, why'd you die so young * 
   Jim Morrison, why'd you die in France * 
The time to hesitate is through,
No time to wallow in the mire,
    You left a nice girl in France  
    You left your nice girl all alone 
Try now we can only lose,
And our love becomes a funeral pyre. 
    No body knows why you died, she too died in France 
    Why'd you leave your nice girl, all alone in France 
Come on babe light my fire 
Come on babe light my fire 
    You left, died, when you were in the tub 
    Why'd you not call me from the couch 
Try to set the night on fire!
 
   Too late now, we've done our bit 
The time to hesitate is through,
No time to wallow in the mire, 
    Wallow you did not, to the edge of the tub 
    You're a heal you know, I was so very close 
Try now we can only lose,
And our love becomes a funeral pyre. 
    Jim Morrison, why'd you die so young * 
    Jim Morrison, why'd you die in France *
Come on babe light my fire
Come on babe light my fire 
    If I'd have lit your fire 
    I'd have gone with you then 
Try to set the night on fire! 
    It would have done us both in 

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar 
  
    We'd already set the night on fire 
If I was to say to you
Girl we couldn't get much higher. 
Come on babe light my fire
Come on babe light my fire
Try to set the night on fire,
Try to set the night on fire,
Try to set the night on fire,
Try to set the night on fire! 
    Fire, fire, fire! 
        Fire, fire, fire! 
            Fire, fire, fire!

Notes: 
   1. *  I wrote in person of Jim Morrison's girlfriend, Pamela Courson. She adored him but he died on her while they were in France and was buried there. She died three years later in California, with her plaque reading ""Pamela Susan Morrison 1946–1974", even though "Morrison" was never part of Courson's legal name."
    I wove her poem between the lines of "Light My Fire" in blue while Morrison's words were in black with a White background

    2. "Morrison was buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, one of the city's most visited tourist attractions, where Irish playwright Oscar Wilde, French cabaret singer Édith Piaf, and many other poets and artists are also buried. The grave had no official marker … See more

         Jim Morrison, Why

    Jim Morrison, why'd you die so young 
    Jim Morrison, why'd you die in France 
    You left a nice girl in France 
    You left your nice girl all alone 
    
    No body knows why you died, she too died in France 
    Why'd you leave your nice girl, all alone in France 
    You left, died, when you were in the tub 
    Why'd you not call me from the couch 
    
    Wallow you did not, to the edge of the tub 
    You're a heel you know, I was so very close 
    Jim Morrison, why'd you die so young 
    Jim Morrison, why'd you die in France 
    
    If I'd have lit your fire 
    I'd have gone with you then 
    It would have done us both in 
    We'd already set the night on fire 

            Fire, fire, fire! 
                    Fire, fire, fire! 
                            Fire, fire, fire!

Love the interspersion of the lyrics, Jim. Mr. Morrison was an enigma, a brilliant light, until he wasn't. I loved, loved his music. Light my fire my all time favorite.
