Paint in your heart
the colors symphonic
Images dancing
each note brushed with fire
Clapping and cheering
rhythmatic ovations
The prisms last opus
—concerto’s desire

Life crevices, muted footsteps, blood stream flow;
Gathered passages breathing life;
Hand clap virtues standing ovations;
I stand go,  Salutation price;

Outlandish and fantastical
I thought the dream to be
A solo artist live on stage
For all the world to see

Astounding and theatrical
The others seem to cheer
Ovations are enveloping
As I waken to "Good morning, my dear"...

O n lookers ovations of one-upmanship 
U niting us in ultramodern, understanding of

When Hitler wanted to take over Austria
He didn’t have to employ the mafia,
Instead he slyly gave the people a big thrill,
By mandating a national health care bill.
He then became everyone’s hero,
Even if he was a big zero.

Great orators have consistently led nations,
Their passion and charisma met with ovations,
It didn’t make much difference what they said,
Once Truth and common sense were dead....

I am fierce and I am strong,
forever hold me in your arms.
Right here is where we belong,
disengage in petty charms.

Resign from their temptations,
maintaining inner focus.
Publicly stir ovations,
spirit confirms the locus.

I give you my solemn vow,
to never retreat from you.
With glory I will endow,
compassion and my love too.

Look here, I am your mirror,
you will view things more clearer....

They say Maestro,
but standing ovations leave me cold
like leftover spaghetti too long in the fridge
then thrown out with the trash,
where all useless things end up
leaving only empty containers.

The music no longer inspires
to heights unattainable;
the magic of spotlights 
no longer warms my lonely nights,
as you did once long ago
before I let ovations and spotlights
replace the essence of you....

The old lady used to dance “back in the day”.
You are not that old said her tom cat gray.
The other cats agreed and said they would help.
She was so excited, she fed them kibble kelp.

The cats began dancing and were light on their paws.
The ravens in the belfry gave them an ovation with caws.
The old lady thought it was all for her and danced the night away.
Seven cats took a bow, and kept ovations going until the next day....

the arts-ian munywe
i am longing for the day,
the arts will pay.
it is long overdue,
appreciation is due.
i visualize sculptors,
being accorded an audience.
i envision musicians,
being lent many ears.
i see the poets and writers,
receiving thunderous ovations.
i feel rapturuous applauses,
being extended to dancers.
i imagine all the awe,
that painters will experience.
actors too will reap,
more than they had sown.
i am longing for the day,
the arts will pay....
