My Guns N' Roses poems...

I have been a Guns N' Roses fan from almost day one. Why almost? Well, I hate to admit it, but when I first saw the video for "Welcome to the Jungle" I wasn't impressed. Thankfully, it started to grow on me quickly. By the time "Sweet Child O' Mine" came out I was hooked. I've been a die hard fan ever since. They are my favorite band, and I absolutely adore Axl Rose. So, of course, they have inspired a couple of my poems. I also saw them in 2016 for the new tour, and I was blown away. I'll add a few pics here from that concert, too.

​Resurrection

Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes
Taking flight as the lightning flashes
Reigniting the fire in your heart
Ready to make a brand new start
Here they come to take the stage
Like wild animals let out of their cage
With amazing energy and brilliant talent
Commanding your attention, completely hell-bent
On giving you the show of your life
And putting an end to all your strife
From all of the long years of waiting
Now no more wondering and debating
All the questions are finally put to rest
You know for sure they are the best
The music makes your heart start to race
As it takes you away to a special place
Filling your soul with pure amazement
While they make such a profound statement
They are the greatest band of all time
But don’t doubt it was an uphill climb
Although there were pitfalls along the way
You spent all the while dreaming of this day
You stood behind them through their ascension
Now you are rewarded by their resurrection

A Man Unafraid

Fierce intensity beyond compare
He pierces you with that devilish glare
Contradicted by an angel’s smile
That makes you long for him all the while
His dance leaves nothing to imagination
Swaying hips with a snake-like gyration
Tickling the ivories or caressing the mic stand
You know how seductive and gentle his hands
A beautiful voice that touches your soul
And makes you feel like you have no control
A childlike bad-boy with a heart of gold
Often wonders why the world is so cold
And makes you wish you could somehow save him
From the melancholy world he seems to live in
But through all the controversy and heartache
He still manages to make your soul quake
Taking control in front of your eyes
Commanding the stage while your innocence dies
Not that you wouldn’t have given it freely
To the man who touches you so completely
And in the end the memories will last
Even though they go by so fast
Of fiery red hair and rose print pants
And a man unafraid to make a stance

Ride a vampire!
