Guitar Man Poem by Dirk Kruger

let me sway
to the frenetic sound of the lead guitar
let the base come in and rock my world
and rhythm will always be there to sooth my soul

give me a guitar
that gently weeps
give me a guitar
that speaks the only language we need to speak

forget about classic
forget about jazz
forget about the blues
give me the eruption and emotion
the crying out in pain
of a heavy metal band
don't let their music
all be in vain

give me
jimmy page and throw in Hendrix
if you want to

let me play you a love song
through the eyes of Kurt Cobain
