Tangerine

There may well be

an infinite number of ways

to cast the wound 

An infinite number to 

bleed the cold journey 

But I know of only this 

when made in all certainty 

come morning 

death or night 

Burnt names in hand

Deceased to process

the feeble corpse 

tossed over piles once heaven 

by your fangs 

It is the mark of a lesser angel 

that wills your way

Tangerine, tangerine, living reflections from a dream I was her love she was my queen and now a thousand years between....
The best side of any Led Zeppelin album....Hats off to Roy Harper, That's the Way, Gallow's Pole.
and what a great poem....when the lesser angel wills your way...there is still hope for redemption.

Oh yes, just this past week I listened to all 8 albums in my car on CD. I liked Presence...I liked all the percussion...Greg had to have fun on that one.
My favorite album is four, that one side of three and then Physical Graffiti...
And I happen to like "in through the out door" as well....I think they were all good.

Whoa, Devout!! And quite an admirable feat, cause that's at least a month..hahaha. At that time, even Houses of the Holy was controversial, but now it's all Heavy Metal, Rock n Roll History, and I couldn't agree more, number IV made quite the rage, but I still remember the signs in the guitar/music shops, "NO PLAYING STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN!! All 8 albums ...they must have brought back Orange Sunshine. lol.
