Spinnaker ...a tribute to Whitney Houston

i heard your song and wildly danced

thrice around the moon

shock shivered on the dark side

the sun couldn't come too soon

my spirit swelled and raced on with you

in hopes your song be sung

our hearts were feather light and heavy anchored

but your song sailed us along

i've never been so affected

by any song before

as you bravely set your spinnaker

to defeat the worldly oceans roar

*

i could hear your racing heartbeat

it echoed my willing own

distant pulses of the piper tunes

as they danced and pranced that reel

that rattled both our bones

*

sweetly calling to a lilting lover

a lithesome dark skinned boy

a boy inside a mansuit

a song of irreverent joy

not lost on us the multitude

those fans you so enjoyed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH3giaIzONA&ob=av2n

hey skinny legged gal you'll be missed

you named us

you claimed us

we knew you were just on loan

*

when a candle burns that brightly

with such a fine display

too soon it burns itself out

and last only one short day

*

bombarded by fame

a sweet but often unholy game

some say nothing good will come of it

but that isn't true

so much good will come of it

but so much bad will too
