The reason we love movie stars is simple,
they're the celluloid glitter of Hollywood,
and we place them high on pedestals
like porcelain figurines!
They are the performers of fantasy,
capable of playing any part or portraying any scene.
We can cause unknown stars to go supernova,
with millions of likes on our computer screens.
And we love to post epitaphs for fallen stars,
following a lingering trail of internet sparks!
Stars are today's wizards and witches, able to fascinate us,
acting out our worst nightmares
or fulfilling our fondest dreams.
We cling to climbing stars on the rise,
fueling their ascension
with enthusiastic applause!
For stars hold a magic sway over our hearts.
They whet our appetites for the ecstasy of love
while exposing our faults, over and over again.
They know us all too well!
Adoration is the lifeblood of stars
trying to gain enough mass appeal
to morph into overnight sensations.
Stars entertain our collective hearts
as villain or hero, it matters naught,
we love them all!

DREAMWORLD FIGURINES – THE CURATOR
Such pleasant musing echoes out.
She sits and creates her waxed dolls.
Dreamlike are images sculptured.
In her tiny waxed doll shop,
Her mind configures masterpieces…works of art.

DREAMWORLD FIGURINES
Setting on a mantel…a doll.
Beautiful sculpture… achieved.
A surreal existence within…
Adolescent girls…playing jacks
Envisage tomorrow lightheartedly…filled.

Contortions beloved china doll ballets; fallacies repertoire?!
Sublime, embarking upon another vigilant mnemonic journey
As ever searching these sinuous theatres jigzaw corridores to well find
A maxims inverted souvenir....
Effusions waterfall of wisdom to contest this mortuaries enigma!?
Discernful images incised within black marble stones strewn amid
The roguery of this grayish night; rustic, crossing the cold damp earth
With its wilted flowers unto the mausoleums preemptive seminal door....
Twilights prophet speaking now in summations scarlet rhymes?!
To wrest the breath from abymals reaching grasp that it may surely die; dissolve
Into a thousand broken pieces to be crushed aneath, vice versas impasse ~

Christmas day. Receiving a Darth Vader remote controlled toy.
I had it for only 24 hours. Last time I saw it.
Where did you go, Darth? Back to chasing Luke Skywalker?
Oh well, got a good 15 minutes of playtime with you.
I've been called Yoda.
