In Remembrance "The Day Bowie Died" (Poem)

In remembrance of one of the best known glam rock n roll artist: David Bowie.

The poem was written days after I had heard that he had passed.

The Day Bowie Died

Headlines read,

The king of glam rock

Has passed away at 69.

Rebellious creator, birthed

Blackstar ‘till his demise.

Isolated teenage years I

Spent with him, he was

One of the few

That welcomed my kind.

Encouraged the freak

In me, and in my despair,

Oh no love, you're not alone

He'd lullaby.  

In times of pain and disillusionments,

He’d advise me;

Turn and face the strange changes.

With hopes high, Soul Love strong,

I know I’d make it through,

with Ziggy by my side.

In present time,

when I feel blue,

I  put on his tunes.

His Aladdin Sane poster hangs

On my wall-

He comes alive at night. Long live

The Starman In the Sky.
