My Mind's Theater

A love story of my own
Is a story not often told
My own romance I crave
Love no play could portray
A novel no one could tell

Theatre, you may be my main home
That takes me in the deepest of fantasies
The darkest my mind could be
The addiction of intimate love slowly pulled out
Of my amusing yet confusing mind
My real life forgotten for an hour or two
Dreaming takes its toll and makes do
Placing me in that play or musical
Acting as they do on stage or behind camera
Gesturing to the audience my toy's desires
Playing with my emotions in scenes
While my inner turmoil runs haywire

Music plays the story of my life
Notes indicate my take on different “scenes”
I react to actors around me
Each of them with different tales to tell
None of their tales speaks what I want

Chemistry like Elphaba and Fiyero
Flirtatious like the Phantom and Christine
Catty like Munkustrapp and Demeter
Intimate silliness like Brick and Maggie
Grow old like Big Mama and Big Daddy
Lightness like the Prince and the Sugar Plum Fairy

Theatre, lend me your tales of love and action
Take me away from this real life and feed me
Dollops of imagination made by the playwrights' themselves....
