Last Charade
Woefully, the footlights dim,
the magic fades—the chorus grim
A curtain falls as memory fades,
the ending near—one last charade

The Unmasking
Behind the walls
of his fantasy
an actor played his role
dishonest in death
dishonest in life
face like ashen coal
Taking the stage
left, center, and right
soliloquy to fawn
each pleading rehearsed
all truth in reverse
—footlights dark and gone
(Dreamsleep: Octopber, 2021)...

Artists Prayer
Where are all the great patrons
Throw me a hook you fishers of men
That I might be caught and eaten

in the fire of creation touches wonder
and maybe God himself

Oh, To Be a Diva
Fantasy in a red gown
Face as beautiful as dawn
Figure to make men weep
Filling the Met with my voice
Feeling the music soar
Finding high C with ease
Flowing, soaring, caressing
Fascinating the audience
Fabulous final aria
Footlights up, flowers, curtain calls
Oh..to sing at the Metropolitan Opera
For the Fantasy Character contest......

Fabulous final aria

Unfortunately, I can’t sing a note....

Dramatic Monologue
After The Applause
Once the curtain is down
All lights then turn to dim
Music slowly trails off
As the self bows back in
Moments of reflection
Memory becomes faint
When the thrill has left you
And you wipe off the paint
You think of what it was
That you have then just done
Knowing all it has meant
Amazed if you had fun
You aren't even quite sure
If you'll keep going on
In search of more footlights
To brighten your soul song
