The Beautiful Illumination Of Glory

I wish I could extend my hand out
Bottle the insignia of time
When words never defined the emotions of a keystroke
Laughter in the fallacy of the pen was the greater manner
Curious eyes never to have seen nervousness in appreciating my gifts as I unfurled my pen
No one knew of me, the compassion of my skill, the thirst of my craft
So many words of adoration I have graced cavasses
 
The music is playing for you
The stage is set
 
Names of grandeur stood on the poetic podium in time
Legends of the ink spills in wonderment I bowed unto their awe
I was a small boat rolling the sea of time
Stringing together vowels and syllables, loving the respect of my errors
When my canvass was anew in 2018, no foundations to stand upon, no heights to climb  
The limelight of the glare never once dulled my silence, my determination as I wrote, spoke
Softly playing with the core of so many embracing minds
 
The music is playing for you
The stage is set
 
Coveting the flow of hearts in the beautiful midst never to be measured by time
Where have all the whispers of old gone
As I search for that lost glass slipper so I can ease away
Fade into the Ball as a watcher not a participant
The baton is getting heavy, my arms are getting weaker
Time on that beautiful horizon is calling my time
There is the handsome Prince at the ball
 
The music is playing for you
The stage is set
 
Beautiful poetic eyes batting for a dance
Pick up your slipper hold it to your heart, dance with yourself like no one is watching
Sink in the solitude of what you can do by your rules
Conformity plays no part when success and time must be obtained
I did it my way  
I have battled, made love to many on their walls of enlightment, enticements  
Accepting your heart, mind, body, and soul upon mine
 
The music is playing for you
The stage is set
 
I have brought my dreams here, shown you my aspirations. the recipient of my accomplishments in black and white
Yet, bringing the Band-Aid with soothing emollients
A poetic muse on the playground needing to play, love, moan, enlighten
And you all have played your part to get me to my next journey
My handsome poets please keep the honeyed scent of me
Remember my moon and the divinity of its creed, the love splayed in comfort of my page, your page
 
The music is playing for you
The stage is set
