Magical Theater

If a human has lived well, they do have this!
Their very own living, colorful remembrance 
magical theater.
Of family and friends, and great lovers, too.
That flicker on a colorful, living, screen.

Of New Year's Eve, in the snow,
And that New Year's Eve kiss.
Magical, sparkling moments, wrapped in moments, divinely gossamer!
Even moments that are strictly taboo.
Which is your life's most precious
revenue.

Some may think memory, should be dismissed.
But, to me, it's like the secret
world of lit peacock feathers.
I write of blooms of yesterday's 
Tempestuous bugaloos.
And tender nights of sultry surrender.

Amen. The past comes alive for me too! Nothing to be ashamed of whatsoever! ... It's not we're like Gloria Swanson chain-smoking while watching her old movies for the 100th time or something. Cheers, Gershon

I love this poem...thanks for commenting. Gloria or whomever...what right have I to pound on her? Addicts and drunks populate the planet. Why do we criticize the famous and dishonor people of accomplishment? Hoodlums, thieves, looters are our new heroes of course?

Panagiota, Love the Technicolor picture that you have playing in full Dolby surround in this poem. And at a matinee price that's hard to resist. I hope Bogey is out there with Lauren smiling. May all your movies have happy endings for you in the new year. -Richard
