icicles dripping
winter's worst now behind us

In mystery wrapped
Forever behind the scenes
Did he pen King Lear
Othello, Hamlet ~ or was
He a Midsummer's Night Dream...

Behind the scenes
Always wanting to win
Scoring
Kangaroo hops
Exciting buzzer beater
Tough sport
Basic dribbling
Always exciting
Last chance to win
Losing streaks....

    awkwardly waiting, ‘in-between’
      not yet adults, no longer tweens

    larvae-like lurking, behind-the-scenes
      ‘fore bursting their shells, onto life’s screen

I do what I want 
Listening to all my dreams 
What does it all mean 
How does anything happen 
My reflection in the mirror 
A kiss on the cheek tickles 
When the wind blows steady...

HOLD IT

A hold on a library shelf by name.
Man, behind-the-scenes, approaching shame.

Sneaks behind counter, tries to help himself.
Mischievous patron, like a Christmas elf.

Elated swans sucked into a graceful trance,
Look at her, look and them, all together they do blend,
Behind the scenes their smiles fade, for one more moment on the stage.

Be sucessful
But remember who you are
Know who stood by you 
An who you put behind the scenes
But never forget the ones who tried to fail you

...

I know from behind the scenes
I still will love you....

Memories of your kiss
Your tender touch
Your intoxicating laughter
The way you say my name

Your high walls
Your solace
Your fears
Your beautifully thin disguise

I am fine
I am ok
...today
I say, as a tear rolls down my delicate skin...

They fight tooth and nail all those who don't like

Behind the scenes are plotting how to strike 

When see someone to excel

Declare war make his life hell

Till he gives up or pierce him with a pike

Studying the nature of humans throughout
this world of ours we live.
You could see that culture's about
what things that we can give.
But the truth comes out behind the scenes,
lies and deceit bore too.
So if we see what cannot be seen,
then dreams may actually come true....

I don’t know who I’ve been today,
But I wish she’d come back- 

Her confidence, astonishing 
And her ability to live so weightlessly 

I wish I had her airless capabilities-

Who was she again and why did she save me 
From myself

I wished she was me even behind the scenes....

Little Star
You're not much
You're one of many
But you still shine

Sometimes lights hide your face
Sometimes clouds cover your shine
But you're still there behind the scenes
Shinning through it all

I'm jealous of you
I'm not a star
I'm just a girl
And I can't shine all the time...

Listen to poem:

out of control chaos
behind the scenes
passion caution
duking it out
fists flying
teeter tottering
winning losing
caution passion

Happy Birthday!
  Marks each year
We all clink glasses
  To a friend's new year 

Toasts are read
  Loads of good cheer
All in honor of
  The coming year 

Behind the scenes
  It's time to reflect
The good, preserve
  The bad reject

Blow out the candles
  Eat the cake...
Promises to keep
  Decisions to make...

The children saw the glory and the fame
   The high-wire acts of aerial bravery
Adults could see the hang-dog looks and shame
   We knew the truth, performers' misery

Behind the scenes they rued the life they led
   Uneducated, soulless, barren bred
The endless road, no place to call a home
   The circus over, once again alone...

Behind the scenes of life...

The curtains raise and fall...

...the fractured mind awaits...

...with entertainment with drawl...

...The stage echoes ovation...
greeted with applause...

Behind the scenes of life
the curtains raise and fall...

...spotlight thrust the opening line...

life's no dress rehearsal...

stampede to the exit...

tickets all recalled......

They move about behind the scenes,
Between the dark and horrid screams!

They leave a trail with icy breath,
That follows through with certain death!

They follow quick,and follow fast.
They lead with howls of hollow past!

You cannot run,you cannot hide,
Until their thirst is satisfied!

But noone knows unto this day,
The darkest secret,who are they?...

Shadow Lies
The dead must laugh at how silly we are
For most of us will soon join them
Due to being jabbed up with the vacc
To cure the world of the CCP Virus
And de-populate the planet for them
Them who run the world behind the scenes
We only see shadows and hear lies
And countdown till we all die
The clock in the vac is ticking
Will you go and die before me
Time to go now see you soon...

I see the wake 
of what I look at
objects casting ripples
through the sea 
of visual fields
like a boat or Nessy
cutting water
in zig zags
its trail allowing 
secrets, coloured 
kaleidoscope waves
rips and tears
peep holes no less
an honoured glimpse
into the mechanics
of reality, I hope
nobody up there
gets into trouble
for showing me
things they shouldn’t
how things are working
behind the scenes...

Rough n Tumble
At the Royal Rumble! 

Sparkly tights
Some funny sights!

The excited kid's face
Their new favourite place! 

Young upcoming acts 
Jumping around like acrobats! 

Behind the scenes though 
Its not all for-show.. 

The veteran with taped up wrists
Sore back, busted nose
Watching as their career goes... 

Their time in the limelight is running out
But for now, they'll enjoy the fans' shout...

IT IS THE PERCEPTION,

OF BUSINESS AS USUAL

WHICH DEPICTS MORE IS

GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.

THIS MORE IS GOOD AND EVIL.

FOR EARTH IS BUT A SPECK OF LIGHT,

COMPARED TO THE GRAND COSMOS.

THE AGENDA OF THE ELITE FEW DICTATE THE COURSE OF THE MANY.

OUR HUMAN DESTINY IS TO TRANSCEND THE MATERIAL AGENDA,

AND BE RAISED UP TO A NEW HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS OF LIFE.

a tear fights his way through desolation
the purple summer flower is snapped
hope expired to memorial
green fields are hermetically sealed
mud splashes fouling soft cheeks
the worst in humanity has been reached
childhood dreams buried by cruelty
salt burns painful in bleeding wounds
monsters shuffling around
nailing hard steel in bare walls
behind the scenes reigns vipers
ruthless sounds die away in the cosmos

sowing a melange 
of veined wafers 
viridescent shavings
leaves upon leaves
chaotically neat
layered in tranquillity
for the theatrical show
of first feet
premiere wellies
curtain up at dawn
cue the early walkers
after a night’s forlorn

which unseen hand
spritely close
knitted the forest
cross-stitched floor
taking their time
perfectionist
preparing fallen 
Jenga sticks 
behind the scenes
but never seen
Jack in the Green...
