Aiming for limelight 
All of them are not eyeless
Better start to pray
I’m imminent for your life
I’ll shoot you thousand periods...

no matter fame how good it feels -
succombing to excesses, worse,
resisting not temptation's curse....

Hidden in secret plans sealed

Her husband was a concert pianist,
always in the limelight
When he passed, she was inconsolable and miserable
Until she found a flower on his piano
Red rose from heaven...

The Responsibility To Please
At last here I sit 
Squarely in the limelight 
The gallery is at peace
With a tad bit tension
Longing for ease
And it falls upon my shoulders
The responsibility to please...

Dancing my way 
out of your Hell on a trapeze; 
Dancing my way 
in brisk motion I disobey; 
Flying high I could never freeze; 
Every ounce of limelight I seize

Premium Member In Perspective
latent privacy
emerges into the limelight,
into the unfamiliar:
emptiness
exhaled
anguish abolished
destroyed:
insignificance
dismantled
despatched
to the extremities
of life...

Laid Bare
You have to be naked
inside a Poem

Exposed in its limelight,
a baby new born

Starving the doubt
by feeding the fear

Everything revealed
—your back to the wall

fish eye lenses
pretenses 
all the worlds a stage
we are merely pretenders

triple entendre 
RUSH to see
the Moving Pictures

cry as they go by 
taken away 
from tonight's 
Limelight

Cynosure
prairie glazed by moon

lanterns hanging on twigs’ palms

robin serenades

trailing down the river deep---

Luna's gleam, an eve's limelight

Heads Or Tails
Only
a coin toss
standing 
between them
Fame 
the divider
with fans
to embrace
Caught
in the essence
as twins
symbiotic
One 
in the limelight
the other
— ungraced

Stardom
She stands, hallowed in sunlight, no, limelight
Waving manicured hands at screaming fans
Smiling at the flashbulbs
Empty eyes not really seeing
Empty mind not really comprehending
Empty heart constanlty weeping....

Premium Member Adjectives
I often add beauty to your song,
enhancing nouns is where I belong;
however,place upon me a curb,
for I,the limelight steal from your verb;
my over-use can bbe a curse,as
too much of this good thing,clots a verse....

Annual Limelight
The season's almost over,
and I hate seeing it leave
without a whisper,

complaint or compliment,
while poets
bask in literary sunlight,

thinking the moment is eternal.
April's month of poetry
is soon to end....

Duet on the crystalline sea —
    Limelight of the moon circles the waltz.

Beyond the border of the ship,
     the sensation of surrendered selves.

Pummy the pumpkin refused to be sliced

Resisted against being sacrificed 

For modern Pagan delight

Did not fancy the limelight

Turned the knife against trivial zeitgeist
