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!
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.
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
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,
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.
And our love becomes a funeral pyre.
Jim Morrison, why'd you die so young *
Come on babe light my fire
Jim Morrison, why'd you die in France *
Come on babe light my fireCome 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!
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!
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 backgroundhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
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
3. Lyrics from
and are in Black with the background in White

we were asked to choose one of the pictures, all of whom were also writing poetry, and to write " to the beat of your muse and dance your heart out!"
- Pamela's poem, my Sunday Muse #255 write:
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!

A sad love story, Jim. I am glad yours is much happier.
Clever use of the song mixed with your own thoughts. Enjoyed this one.
This is SO well done, Jim. Very clever.
Sincerely,

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.
I love what you did with this it is beautiful and full of emotion 💗
A precious poem asking poignant questions.
Thanks for dropping by my blog
Much💖love
I love who you chose and the song too Jim! The weaving of thoughts and feelings is lovely my friend!
