Premium Member Stellars Within the Moon's Spotlight

Stellars under the darkest night
Glowing plight in constellation
Silhouettes afar from the moonlight
Speeding lights in formation

Stellars faint in a blue Moon
Sellars taint in a covered Moon
Faces of stellars form in names
Braces of altars dorm in flames

Stellars catalyze in many places
Like sheer diamonds in pieces
Stellars ascend in night's bleakest
As the Moon descend at its weakest

Each stellar behind the Moon smiles
As the Moon traipse and beguiles
Facing all other crystal lights
Moon stays bright like Stellars in spotlights

A Spotlight Performance

In the spotlight she played on her flute.
Though she tried, her performance was mute.
The crowd heard not a note,
just a squeal from her throat
as they pelted her with rotten fruit.


The Dreams

THE DREAMS

Surely, one day

We will have to get to our way

Forgetting the bad past

Hoping for the good future really fast.



Working day and night

Whether under a torch or a sunlight

Keep succeeding, oh my dear,

Keeping the things in the mind very clear.



Your nightmares should scare you

And the will be the one to dare you

But don't forget to think extreme

And feel accomplished after completion of your dream.



Everything gets changed by a positive hope

Every stream has a great scope

Until it's done,

You foolish, don't even think the battle has been won.



Start working hard

Or else become a security guard

You can do everything with your strong will

And soon the results will make you thrill.



Do the hard work now

So that you aren't embarrassed and have to bow

Try not quit

Just accept a bit.



Fix your hard goals

If you want to enjoy and eat a rice bowl

Take it up as a mission

Only one thing in your vision.



How fast goes away the time,

Now stop playing with the slime

Be brave but do not cry

Answer everyone who asks you why.



This is a very tough fight

But work hard if you want to be in the spotlight

So, try and give a start

Hope you all will become smart.



You should have its fear

You could even get your eyes filled with tear

Everything is very precious

And good future us auspicious.

Spotlight

Placing myself in the context of the first person.
puts me in the spotlight.
Where I dont want to be.

In the Spotlight

Let the spotlight shine
And let the music out
Don't waste no time
I need to dance about

Singer in the spotlight
Giving his songs away
Makin' life feel just right
At least just for today

Float me off from here
I need to see the sunlight
Maybe I'm not clear
I need to get my head right

Help me out this time
Play my favorite song
Even out of time
You can't get it wrong

Singer in the spotlight
A million miles away
Makin' life feel just right
Can I hear him play

That's the very one
I can float away
Even when it's done 
Another one should play

Don't take that bow
Don't go away
Do you have to leave now
We all want to play

Singer in the spotlight
Let us hear you play
Makin' life feel just right
Oh please won't you stay

The show goes down the road
May be back one day
Pay the bills I owed
Put some cash away

And when they come back 'round
Well you never can say
If my money's sound
Could be on my way

Singer in the spotlight
With his band at play
Makin' life feel just right
Never go away

Premium Member Spotlight On Trump

What Trump Wants:  according to John Kelly- Retired Four-star General Trump’s former Chief of staff

                              —Unchecked power

                                                                  —Praise of Hitler

                              —Dictator for a day
                                                        
                                       —Complete command over our Military
           
               —"Stupid people, our General’s aren’t even General’s”-Daddy Don

                                                                  —Military against the people
                                 —a new Constitution

Look yonder y’all
to a mighty military 
which will answer to me
I’m your fearless leader 
in perpetuity
No need to put much emphasis on likability
Despite my personality, I’m in command 
It’s an end to all wars, just don’t mind the    
chaos I caused while in charge                             
Some will starve, like those in Gaza 
No one that matters, 
No bleeding hearts 
in my penthouse plaza, I luxuriate here 
Jauntily goosestepping
My soldiers march alongside me in lockstep
They do as I say 
Pay no heed to the constitution
I did it my way
What you want is fearlessness 
Ignore my derangement, put it aside!
Policy is more important, deport everyone
There’s no place to hide
Policy not feelings, policy not emotions!
Not a sentient human being.
                                           by I Am Anaya

My Dear Leader

I have no emotion, I have no feeling
Sentimentality and compassion are weak
So stifle such mush when you speak!
Vermon sneak in, a toxic flood
Poisoning our pure untainted blood!
We shall seek and destroy the enemy within
In lockstep we'll wipe out their sin!
                                             by RG

Footle ----In the Spotlight

Enhance

Your dance

Under the Spotlight

Just like football I am a crowd pleaser
I got fans cheering me on up and down the field

My cleats stay unknown to the ground
Because they never met
No, the cleats are too fast to stay in one spot
But if the ground met my cleats, I would retire

Many years from now could that be possible
In this moment, I hear people scream aloud my name

I'm in this to win it 
I play it to take it, to be it, I am it 
The uniform number five 
The spotlights shinning on me

I know what it feels like to be above ground
Body in the air, Ball in my grip

Split seconds till I pass that zero yard mark 
Score board even screams out my name 
Lovely victory knows me and my fans well
So where were you at my game?

Hollywood Spotlight

Many desire for it
Even balloon boy and his family
And the White House state dinner guests too
Lying there way in getting media and tabloid
Attention for all to see
In making national media history
It’s ridiculous what people would do
For the Hollywood spotlight
A celebrity status
Many try to claim
Doing whatever for all to see their name
Risking even jail time
It’s not worth this or even a fine
Hollywood spotlight
Is not for those who yearn for it
But for those who truly earn it

Gods Spotlight

If I was in Gods spotlight
I hope that He could see,
For every sin committed
I am truly sorry.
I hope He sees I'm trying,
To put my faith in Him,
To walk His path He's made for me
Then eternal life I'll win.

Premium Member Hiding In the Spotlight

I  lie in quiet wait of Morning Sun questioning how far I might run before Her rays breach the eastern sky,,,,,finding me once more within glow of that bright spotlight ,,,  exposed for all that I am not.  

For hidden within my desire to escape lies the truth of an empty soul exposed for all to see as the once bright embers of my dreams now lay cold and dark, drained of the passions which once ruled my life.

Spotlight

Spotlight

So many people want to live in the spotlight, 
Yet only a few want everyone to know about their daily life. 
Some celebrities don't want every inch of the spotlight. 
Except the Kardashians whom live for the spotlight.
 
It's a crazy world we live in 
and everyone is a victim. 
There's a snake in the system, 
and it's looking to bite with some venom. 

It's like contagion all over again 
And no one knows what the cure is. 
An infection that spreads at the speed of a virus, 
Exposing every dark light with the spotlight.

My turn in the light, I don't want anyone but me in the light, 
Put my face on the jumbo screen like an emoji screen. 
I want the attention all the other celebs get, 
acting like it's a contest.
 
Put me on the red carpet in front of all the cameras, 
So, I can pose for the people with the cameras. 
I love the spotlight like the moonlight, 
Up in the sky shining like sunlight.

Put me in the spotlight, I love the spotlight.
Put me in the spotlight, I love the spotlight.
The only place I want to be is in the spotlight.

treasures my Pisces caress
