pickI wouldn't say his poetry was brilliant or anything, but it's intriguing.
The poems in this book are from 1966-1971, and they were unpublished until the release of this book. It's not the best of his work, hence why it was left unpublished by him.
Wilderness lets you see a little more into the mind of one of the greatest songwriters.
Only for die-hard fans.
⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆
Day 8
For fans of radical & darker poetry. Must have if you are a Doors fan like myself. Will reread again before the end of the year.
“Untrampled footsteps
Borderline dreams
Occasion for sinners
alive if it seems
given to wander
alone at the shore
wanton to whisper
I am no more
Am as my heart beats
live as I can
wanton to whisper
faraway sands...”

The best known lines from “The Celebration of the Lizard” may be “I am the Lizard King/I can do anything” but my favourite lines are these:
“And I can tell you the names of the kingdom
I can tell you the things that you know
Listening for a fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade”

pickAbsolutely fascinating read. The author touches on every subject I wanted to know about and more. Answers many questions and is very hard to put down.
Kerb burglar strikes again! I was obsessed with Jim Morrison from The Doors as a 16 year old and it would seem I still am as a 40 year old.
