sonnet- American Pie

cry for nineteen-sixty-nine evermore
they stood up to dance but sat right back down
for the sixties they knew not the new score
when Buddy Holly plumeted to ground
the great artist fell into shades of fire
as a jester stole a thorny crown
they're dancing in the gyme, hes the liar
during these times the beattles invade town
the seargent an everlasting tune
the foul grass catches the eyes of the old
but in the store records shatter the moon
and those of platinum more thought of as gold
the sixties threw out the window
the music is eaten by crows.

                                           LAYLA..


"let's see if you can spot this one" he says
and then the riff hits my ears with memories of good old days.
the slow shuffle groove is like a rom-com movie, when he plays
teases the beat and slows down the second time before the whole band joins his grace.

The whole rhythm sets a jazz feel
then out of nowhere Clapton unveils
a solo sweet as honey that every flower conceals
staccato notes makes it delicious , I consume it everyday as a meal.

then he  says his first words to layla or maybe just to her solitary mind.
my eyes closed , I see my girl running away trying to hide
from me , it breaks me , but makes me smile
when he says "its just your foolish pride."
oh! slowhand stop making fun of my love life.
oh! jeez its so close to me, that I feel I have written it
as the lyrics eats my sickness a little bit.

And then the clouds clash as the riff pours the chorus
the melody of the piano flows like a river through the porous
hmm.. I taste sugar in my headphones
when angels start to sing along..

he breathes the words as they fly in my head , then like a bursting volcano
comes out his mellow
he makes her dance on her lap
I'm talking about his guitar , the tool of his craft
he makes her scream ,
makes her cry as in cream
fast moving fingers hold that one note to ring
then I hold my muscles tight when like a phoenix she sings
again teasing and playing with the beat.
oh! Clapton you are blessed by some Goddess of Greece.
