Tickets please for the matinee

In the haunted
theatre of mind
moments seated
watch time on stage
pass by, before
the final curtain.
On standing
memories applaud
in remembrance-
a fitting tribute
where in the gardens
of tombstone greys
lies the epitaph-
the show must go on.

[Sami Khalil]

I like how you compare our lives to a show needing a ticket, actors, audience, hard and comfy seats, beginnings, ends.
You are a master! Hell Emperor!

You treat me so well Sami, thank you for supporting my so called ramblings of a supposedly poetic nature.

[Sami Khalil]

You deserve it. You are welcome sir Andrew.

Appears to me that your words slide in and out of life as if make-believe coming true..Superbly yet subtly metaphoric truth.

Thank you very much Emma for your kind words.

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

Indeed it does...with or without us. An insightful piece of poetry my friend. As always I expect no less from your work.

Thank you Carlos for your kind words. Chuffed I am
