Flashback Friday Poetry: The Lullaby of Broadway

all have dreamed of the Great White Way
the Way of the Broad some might say
but this is a different lifestyle you see
there’s no business like Show Business to me
it gives you that old Razzle Dazzle
dazzling inside you that Razzle
so come along and listen to
the Lullaby of Broadway

Life is a Cabaret old chum
meaning life is meant to be fun
a musical cleans the dust off one’s Soul
it brings you to life and makes you whole
on and off and sometimes off-off
the spark of a nation will never be lost
so come along and listen to
the Lullaby of Broadway

Early poetry from James. From the poetry collection Pariah Bound: The Lonesome Poetry.

Flashback Friday Poetry: Luna’s Final Words

i quietly sit
here upon the Moon
breathing my last breath
my end will be soon
to stare at the Earth
it is strange to see
while so many are
gazing up at me
what do they think of
what is it they dream
with a lost starved look
they drink the Moon’s Beam

I am the one face
everyone has seen
but here face to face
we have never been
with a watchful eye
I protect mother
but My time is done
She’ll find another
I don’t fear the end
I don’t want to scream
to stare at the Earth
I have lived My dream
