patti smith’s horses
lost on distant horizons
of crystal beaches

obsidian voice
seductively in this darkness
echoes of the sea

distantly calling
every night  I go to sleep
doves whisper her name

amy winehouse sings
a devil with angels wings
water into wine

voice diamonds cashmere
dark honey or black silk sheets
we  go back to black

whisky on the rocks
though you went back to rehab
only songs are left

diva madonna
living in dark new york slums
moonlighting boudoir

a material girl
heart closed for so many years
when her mother died

for she was frozen
years when her heart was broken
now she cannot melt

still I see her dance
in dark arabic rhythms
give away our hearts

leonard cohen
brings you tea and oranges
suzanne takes you down

shows you mysteries
you want to travel with her
the ghost within song

are friends electric
mine’s run down no- one to love
car’s only machines

cloned white then to black
electronic waves delight
gary numan fans

here’s the jean genie
androgenous clone fashion
so chic on his back

he is outrageous
a starman who amazes
with space oddities

ashes to ashes
star man shining forever
ziggy played guitar

day at the races
a night at the opera
mercurial songs

dark piano plays
bohemian rhapsody
the white queen dreaming

a sheer heart attack
great king rat bought and sold
to a faithless world
