KISS THE SKY

Hendrix born in Seattle
Taking London by storm
Conquering Woodstock
Pairing function and form

His guitar pure magic
A psychedelic orchestra
Transforming his craft
Reimagining rock formulas

His style electric
Iconic and eclectic
Juxtaposing genres
His presence magnetic

Stunning and beautiful
Transgressive masculinity
Creative synergy
Bohemian chemistry

Two arenas of expertise
Music and women
His passions constant
Molding his mission

Both supremely confident
And desperately insecure
Shy and self-conscious
Emboldened by the pour

Savage sexuality
Flamboyant flair
Contradiction and paradox
Revolution in the air

Emblematic of the sixties
The counterculture’s explosion
His purpose profound
Resistance in motion

Ultimately ensnared
The serpent of fame
Drugs a compulsion
His death a convulsion

His impact fierce
Reinventing the guitar
Crafting a legacy
Hendrix a potent rock star

The fire of rock and roll
Style super fly
Pyromanic and pyrosexual
Watch him kiss the sky
