Her Backstage Story No One Knows
I love to write poems and I enjoy everything that's poetic because poetry is always soothing and perfect for the soul.
The Rhymes of Her Life
She sews in a theater
Where shine for a time
Sad heroines
Kate is in tears
Keira is sorry
Emma laments
Emily is dying
The costumes imagined
By her two skilful hands
Dress the strollers
Under fragile lights
With needles
In crazy fabrics
She manufactures the petticoats
Ephemeral queens
Embellish the used silks
On antique trestles
Cutting dream fabrics
For brief stars
She repairs the snags
Cyrano's floating tinsel
Dark silhouette behind the scenes
Far from the jaded spotlights
In the secret of the curtain
She invents an existence
At the turn of declaimed fates
Despite her aged sadness
Her wavering heart
Her weary fingers
Her eyes watch always the words
She becomes Juliet, Celimene, Ophelie
And endlessly, silent dazzled
She listens to play the rhymes of her life.
