61st Birthday and something more
Hello and greetings from Poland,
Due to lockdown I was watching more youtube videos than usual - mostly music of my youth-the 80ties. For many on this planet it' s the best music ever- many talented young men composed hits just like on a production line.
INXS is always on my " to listen list".
A few days ago I was wondering how Michael Hutchens-sexiest rockstar of the 80ties- could look like today -as a middle age man. After short "googling" I learned that he d' died in 1997.
I cannot remember that I've heard about it.
In 1997 I was living between Germany and my homeland Poland , and we had no this kind of western "gossip press " . I knew nothing about Michael's privat life- for me he was just a superb front man, singer of INXS.
I remember in 1991 I was hearing an audio cassette "Graetest hits "on my 20 hours holiday bus travell to Spain - I' ve bought the cassette on a black market in post communist Poland. "By my side " was my favorite, and I was hearing this song again and again.
Anyway owing to internet I' ve learned something about Michael' s life, his famous girl friends, family, and last years as father . It inspired me to write something , a kind of poem -maybe someone like it.
For Michael
I cry bitter tears, didn' t know you 're gone
You spent not enough time here...
Remember you singing „ Need you tonight”...
That night in November, no one at your side
at the point of no return...?
The final numbers 524 -new and last sensation,
mystified for ever...
Wherever your spirit might be now,
don' t miss to taste and smell -
a glass of bordeaux wine , a ripe olive
and a beautiful girl-in a lavender field
telling you -„Never tear us apart” .
The time slips away, elegantly wasted
by many , but not you-
-you lived your life in excess ,with passion
giving love to family and friends ,
sharing your music with us.
I would like to disappear for a while
and occur in your perfect universe
just to thank you for being here ...
Maria
