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
