The Show

Peculiar longing
my heart slowly falling
and I found myself wishing
it was me you were kissing.

Quietly seeing
as you went on being
just a young actor doing
what they all found amusing.

She was a'twirling
around you were circling
and your steps were a'matching
as you dove in for the catching.

Your eyes bright were glowing
and I kind of felt like going
because it wasn't from my pleasing
that you were so alive with feeling,
so full-on grinning
and so happy to be living.

But I decided on staying
since I'd already done the paying
and I proceeded with watching
as you looked so swashing
your beautiful smile a'flashing
and you so handsomely dashing.

But happy am I for there remaining
for what I saw was really just feigning
so now after all this over-analyzing
this mess I've created that's got me madly fantasizing
I do know the girl who gets your soul a'singing
the one for whom you'd truly do anything
I do know the place where your heart is sleeping,
because it's right here with me, the dearest gift in my keeping.

This is very unusual for me. I've never written anything like it before.

Politician/Actor

Last night
I thought I met a sincere politician
But it turned out to be an actor
Inspired by Jimmy Stewart

Today
I thought I met a wonderful actor
But it turned out to be a politician
Pretending to be a politician

Mister Rickman

You starred in Die Hard and also in Galaxy Quest.
And you starred in Dark Harbor and The Winter Guest.
You starred in some Harry Potter movies and in A Little Chaos.
People are saddened by your demise because it's a big loss.
In 1989 and 1990 you starred in Quigley Down Under and The January Man.
In 1991 you starred in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and also in Closet Land.
I'll tell you something that is certainly true.
You were a great actor and people will remember you.

Dedicated to Alan Rickman who died at the age of 69 on January 14, 2016.

Alan; our Lily of Life

The lily of life, full of humility and devotion - the beautiful kind
that everyone would choose to pick from the fields I think you'll find.
One who defied the definition of a heroic inspiration,
your talent outshone all others; you caused quite the sensation.

You tenaciously grasped onto your stem of life
with the insidious poison of demise within your cells rife,
your colours darkening and fading away,
and yet you remained God's most beautiful creation each and every day.

As your petals fluttered down, by your side was your wife
while you heart-wrenchingly closed the circle of your life.
Now, we all shall miss watching you bloom through the days
and we will remember you, forever and ALWAYS .

Audition

I walked in on shaking legs
Hurry away my mind begs

But I decide to leap
Wishing I was sound asleep

Like that last step in the dark
Go ahead do it from the heart

I quietly begin my song,
With luck it will not last too long

After a slow beginning I grow and grow
I smile and soon somehow I know

Their faces are warm like a hot cup of tea
I know they see the improvement in me

They applaud and they smile
Now it’s time to wait for a while

Thank you. x

I'm unstuck in time,
Wondering what part I will,
Have to act out next.

The Shoe

Looking for another acting award
An actor asked one poor, what his shoe looks like
The unfortunate caught off guard
But he smiled, then answered with no fright

Well, today it doesn’t look so well
You see I don’t wear it now
Looping sun and rain hurt it like hell
But it is tough and survive somehow

It stands tall against the mighty storm
I really appreciate its endurance
But as time goes by, its look deformed
I don’t know if it can take another resistance

So here I am now walking on the street barefooted
But may I ask you sir, why are you asking for my shoe
You see I can’t buy one, my pocket is so wounded
Hence believe me about my footwear, it’s all true

Looking for another acting award
An actor asked one poor, what his shoe looks like
Now he got the best trophy reward
A teary eye, a lesson that deeply strikes

An actor may claim that they know what’s the poor shoe looks like
Little they know that some aren't wearing one...

Results Day

Scrolling through Facebook, Born to Run in my ears,
My friends celebrate that they're in the clear;
The beginning of their career.

There's no Wendy running with me, but that's ok.
She'd only get in my way.

Picking my life I jumped the gun. In bed at one for a bus at half five;
"The body is dead but the spirit is alive!"

Trying to read my scripts on the bus, fighting open my eyes.
Won't be back for a while, so mother's last words; sweet goodbyes.

Stepping off the bus, my baggage is heavy; the suitcase too.
My body is worn, my jacket is torn, and there's rain in my shoe.

Wendy. Where are you?

Refer to Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" and Romans 8:10.
