POEMS BY
JIM MORRISON

POEMS COURTESY OF
THE LOST WRITINGS OF JIM MORRISON
WILDERNESS VOLUME 1
I dropped by to see you
              late last night
But you were out
              like a light
Your head was on the floor
& rats played pool w/your eyes

Death is a good disguise
for late at night

Wrapping all games in its calm garden

But what happens
when the guests return
& all unmask
& you are asked
to leave
for want of a smile

I'll still take you then
But I'm your friend
The day I left the beach

  A hairy Satyr running
  behind & a little to the
  right.

  In the holy solipsism
           of the young

  Now I can't walk thru a city
  street w/out eying each
  single pedestrian.  I feel
  their vibes thru my
  skin, the hair on my neck
  --it rises.
What are you doing here?
What do you want?
Is it music?
We can play music.
But you want more.
You want something & someone new.
Am I right?
Of course I am.
I know what you want,
You want ecstasy
Desire & dreams.
Things not exactly what they seem.
I lead you this way, he pulls that way.
I'm not singing to an imaginary girl.
I'm talking to you, my self.
Let's recreate the world.
The palace of conception is burning.

Look.  See it burn.
Bask in the warm hot coals.

You're too young to be old
You don't need to be told
You want to see things as they are.
You know exactly what I do
Everything
