She was a star - I was a gazer

Imagine my surprise

when the stage door opened

and in walked a goddess

 

Dark hair, dark eyes,

a bounce in her step,

a leap in mine

 

Fiddling with the curtain cord,

I lost my balance

and my heart in one fell swoop

 

Spot lights focused,

igniting the stars in my eyes

which were still dim in her glow

 

Dressing rooms offered

champagne and cherries,

but she looked at me

 

Double checking the script,

it wasn’t a love story -

a poetic rewrite was in order

 

I handed it to her when I finished,

she tossed it aside

and kissed me

 

The curtain went up

and the audience applauded,

a standing ovation

 

She was a star -

I was a gazer,

now we shine together

The title is an enticing way to get some one to come on in to be entertained and here I was, the audience before the curtain closed. I am glad to have had a front row seat because it is so charming will.

[willweb]

Thank you so very much Shirlena for your nice comments today. I am happy you enjoyed this one.

[TL Boehm]

a happy sappy ending is just the thing I needed. in this case 'sappy' is a genuine heartfelt compliment. The world needs more "now we shine together' moments, don't you think?

[willweb]

I do Tammy. Thank you so very much.

Love in the theatre. Mine was a props guy. He broke my heart. Haven't done theatre since, come to think of it. But I digress, great write! I have enough angst to keep the wheels greased til you return.:)

[willweb]

Thank you so much KLGoode. Sorry to bring back those memories but happy you liked this one.

[Lyn Anderson]

Oh, those memories are never far from the surface. Some memories just are that way.

[Matching Socks]

Oh wow, I absolutely adore this!
This is one of my favourites from you, along with the spider of course. :)
Love should have a happy ending like this.

[willweb]

You are a star to me Ana. Thank you so very much for this wonderful review.

[Matching Socks]

Lol. Thx Will, if I am then I'm likely on the B or C list. :)

[willweb]

That would be "B" for beautiful and "C" for cute. I have the lists right here, you are on both of them.

[Matching Socks]

LOL, Will you are such a charmer. :)
