The Actor
*********

Dazzling charm,
eyes bright and warm,
sad smile on his face,
he moves with such grace.


Voice searing with fire,
of hate and desire,
of true love and rage,
coming alive on stage.


He'll be a hero, or clown,
a thief, or king with a crown,
dissolve in tears,
display his fears,
living his roll,
exposing heart and soul.


Giving it all, to the audience's call !


Applause roaring high,
lifting him right to the sky,
reaching for the stars up above,
he's everyones darling, everyones love.


But at the end of the show,
after he's made his last bow,
masquerade is done,
glamour all gone.


Now he's only a man.
Feeling all alone... on his way home...
