Once a great guitar contortionist
alluded to the Axis
He provided peculiar clues
to a mystery that still hadn't been solved
Were we too caught up in a druggy haze
to see that Jesus Saves
Purple melodies dripped into tie-dyed brains
only to be erased by L.S.D. trips
Believing to be believed
Maybe the drugs made you feel
Experienced
But really were we ready
Ready to understand this Gypsy
and his blissed out harmonies
Wanting to take us to a distant multiverse
Were we ready?
It's o.k. what he left behind
is as Bold as Love
To
Jimi Hendrix (you are loved more than ever)
As a free verse poem it is well written. Unfortunately this piece does not speak to me personally but that does not make it any less good. Poetry is about baring your soul and emotions. Sending a message to the world. You have written a worthy message and it will be like by many but remember some may just pass by and not take note. Rosemary
Sometimes in life we need to slow down and listen to the still, seemingly insignificant voices around us. Their silent contribution may really be loud and effective...

What a shame to have lost such a great musician as Jimmy Hendrix. He is well remembered even by the young. My children enjoy his music, how sad to have been lost in the haze of drugs. Jimmy along with other greats left just too soon. Jimmy may have left us but he lives on in his music and that we can always enjoy. --Melvina--
This poem was awesome.I loved Jimmie.he trained Ernest Isley of the Isley Brothers.Its so sad that WE as a creative people.Get loss and pay the cost of subtances. That remove much to soon
