Elysium

Celebration breaks
a waterfall descends
dewdrops of mirth
twine to form 
theatrical strands
diffusing mélanges
of paradise
 ‘twas a triumphant day
to have reigned

City's Sightseeing Pair

The hint, if not suspicion
That we, and this life
As something theatrical
Do indeed approach
Apart from formal dress ups
Party's, dance's, date's
Arose, one fairytale eve
Upstepping Love's coach.
Form: Rhyme

Helotry

A fecundity of plight precipitates
And as each second lapses
The vibes ascend
With theatrical depth
Though steadily she refrains
To refine her adamant tones
Whilst I dissolve
within estuaries of helotry
Form: Verse


Premium Member Theatrical Collie

There is an acting coach in Battle Creek
Who taught his theatrical collie to speak
Now portraying King Lear
He’s Time’s Dog Of The Year
And stars in Lassie Call Home in a week

Pie in the sky

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"

Unexpected Delight

Mystery hides in the shadows,
holding hands with the distance
that cannot be condensed.

Love is charming and delightful,
it decides and complicates.
The less appropriate the better,
theatrical and adulterated......
complete magnificance!

Makita Ix: Theatrical Nightmares

From the silent lips
That birthed the nightmare
‘twas heard round the universe
The infamous speech ‘tis dusk
Fabricated insomnia’s silhouette
the hands of time living
In naked draughts of infancy
adorning the skylines
With theatrical chases
Fostering handsome fairings
Form: Verse

Theatrical Life

No drama,
Criticized,
No scene,
Criticized,
No theater,
Critized,
No life,
Criticized,
No death,
Criticized...

A hipnotic spell,
A happy comedy,
An impact of tragedy,
A depressive sorrow,
A constant paranoia,
A living psychology,
A passing psychiatry...

An endless beginning...

A Bird In a Cage

That's what I feel like- a bird
in a cage
Who from imprisonment, is filled
with rage
On the brink of self-destruction; about
to engage
Due to the melodrama of a theatrical
stage
Got Me with grey hair looking a bit beyond
My age
And, contemplating LIFE without ME, turning
the page

Dancing the Last Dance

With lighter
And a cigarette
In your palm

You sparkled
With theatrical show
And we smiled

At those rims of desire 
Billowing thru the noonday air
Though it was too thin to last
 
And the repairman 
Falling behind schedule 
Still, I will be dancing--
 
Your last dance.

Who's This Living Under the Sea?

Who's This Living Under the Sea?


    Who is a yellow Sponge that lives in a Pineapple          

                             Under the Sea ? 

He's comical and theatrical  and very, very funny to me!

             I watch him everyday on Kiddie TV!

The Hominid Dreamer

The dreamer
Lies buried in the hemisphere
Like hominids nested in calcium
Upon outstretched shovel
Vermillion corridors pounce in theatrical unfolding
Its all shadows and graves say
Those cliffside with buckets of fear

While I clawed suddenly the dichotomy came clear
Now I'm hijacking lotuses from the other side

Epeus: a Theatrical Climax

Fluorescent and creamy 
‘Twas the fabric that was her skin 
With lecherous taunts she told me
“All this and more could be yours.”
I gasp in profound sighs as gradually
I inundate beneath naughty theories
Upon your lips
first was a peak of interest 
alluring for sharp strokes of passion
a moan here, a groan there 
as a theatrical climax infuses
Form: Verse

Closure Beyond Reach

all you wanted was the closure i never got
when you expressed the will to reunite
your crime was to abandon us at a time
when the need for a savior was too high

i got your message and plea in my court
you stood like a fool and defended your crime
calling my convictions a theatrical show
and apologizing in the end after stabbing a dagger

Premium Member The Future Awaits

You can't protect yourself
From the future that awaits,
It comes to you like an elf,
Ambivalent to your fate.

The future is not a magical
happenstance like a fairy tale,
Although it can be theatrical,
Too much for anyone frail.

Sometimes we are more fragile
Than we expected,
Sometimes we simply pack our satchel
And wander paths undirected.

Premium Member Lamar the No Drama Llama

The theatre is open, acting tactics keep it in theatrics 
Making a scene says Lamar llama, is for stage queen drama
The theatrical kind we see and hear, save it for Shakespeare
The easy life isn’t enough for some no, they go, on and on
Wherever from, the USA or all the way to the United Kingdom
Some folks only exist, to insist on creating a bit of drama

Premium Member Villains Off Stage

The villain on a theatrical stage is easy to spot
He is wearing the black cape and black fedora
Melodramatic music accompanies him.
He has a fake mustache, and he looks slimy and creepy

Villains off stage are not easy to spot
Many are handsome; they dress in nice clothes.
Their smile seems genuine, they seem like nice guys.
They wear no mustaches, unfortunately for us.

One Act Opera

I fell in love with her sorrows.
We shared a mail-box for wordless hungers.
Passion maimed us,
even I shed tears, sensing
a Puccini last act approaching.

She read herself in my face.
I gave her news;
long-range forecasts
of more disappointments to come.

Lastly she phoned her mom;
she alone on that stage
she had erected for all such
one act
theatrical performances.

Premium Member Closed Doorman

Those gleaming brass buttons
   match the shine on his shoes
the theatrical articulation of his
   "Morning, ma'am. What's new?"

He opens the double doors wide
   bows with an arm-sweeping glide 
while the tight smile etched on his face
   begs you take him (in confidence) aside...

What secrets lie buried deep in his heart
   secrets that from his lips never will part
