Short Leading Man Poems

The lieutenant & his woman
An actress & her leading man,
A boy meets girl tale,
It happens every day-
In a play within a play....

or, Hollywood strikes out again...

I don't want the leading man 
in the current version of "Robin Hood"
He's handsome enough--don't get 
me wrong.  But, besides two tail
pipes before I die, I only want 
one night with Mark Strong....

prima ballerina
    expressive arms
  interlocking curves
    the pose of two swans

  her foot softly supple
    arched so long
  pink flamingo 
    toe stance on 

  Pirouettes 'round and round
    her leading man
  leaps lithe and lovely
    as only grace can...

Sitting in a silent movie
Intently staring at the screen
If you watch them closely
You hear exactly what they mean

With moves ever colorful
In this world of black and white
Before intermission
The leading lady breaks down and cries

The leading man had a hand in it
You can read it in the signs
It's really no surprise
It's all right there in black and white...

I'm excited when the sunshine come out,
I wanted to see you out,
You're the leading man on my sight,
Until it ends my day and night.

I saw you standing on the door,
That there's something you're waiting for,
My eyes, mind and heart are looking on you,
And they says '' I wanted to grab you ''.

Every moment I look at you,
I feel like an ice melting beside you,
Hoping there's a chance to be with you,
And be forever living in you....

We trod on egg shells
Until our feet blistered
No amount of plaster attention
Could mask our footsteps

Attention to detail
Attention to every conceivable event
Our bed sheets nightly changed
But we were not babies

Conversations were rehearsed
Over and over
We could not tackle an episode
Without a prior run through and plan

One word not in the script
A glass shattered
A body colliding with another
All the work of the leading man......
