The Singer (Narrative Dialogue)

The singer looks at the now empty stage His voice guarded deep in his warm throat Shielded by a high neck shirt he wore Singing with passion from down within Rehearsing day and night until it’s right Blended rhythms and notes run the scales Clinging in smoky night clubs like a shadow Getting your pay with crumbled dollar bills Go from gig to gig if it makes you whole Your songs will make them dance and spin Like a magic spell being cast far and wide Allow your words to heal wounds and scars And when you have earned your keep Collect the spoils from your conquest sweet Gobbled champagne and fancy caviars And your heart beats crashed musical chart Find the singer who was once loved The brilliant heart that once lived in joy Consider yourself a singer without a heart Who has traded his soul from the start As it ends the conquest will lose its spark Come to your senses and stop this slide You may be witted and sharp as a tack Don’t get eluded and slip—stay on track Comments: This is a narrative dialogue poem. It sets the stage one may probably find in a conflicting situation. It develops into a complication, reaches a crisis then falls into a resolution. It displays connections, alienation, disconnections, and a turning point where a change takes place between a protagonist and antagonist. The ending brings about a resolution after a dramatic point has been reached. Give it a try one day, and I will give it a review for you. It must be very interesting and relates to real life.
