ROCK AND ROLL GHOSTS

There are rock and roll ghosts
somewhere in my closet
between the memory box
and the art made by a woman
I kissed so passionately that the stars burst.

There are chords that sound like thunder
and strumming patterns that sway
like clouds rolling in the distance
on a humid muggy day.

Just because it's rock and roll
doesn't mean it can't have violins,-
it just means it has to use them well.

The new songs on the radio
can't hold a candle to Bruce Springsteen,
and they are certainly no Queen.
but there are still ghosts in the closet.

Inspired by the words rock 'n roll ghost in a song.
