STAGE


If all the world's a stage  
then I am but the fool      
and yet I am the sage       
my advice can be a tool     
                            
I play the part of Romeo    
I play the part of Kent     
I am the King of France     
but where has my love went? 
                            
I search for her asunder    
I search for her aplumb     
I can only wonder           
when she will re-come       
                            
I take a look around me     
I see the others move       
I take a sigh inwardly      
and stay within my groove   
                            
through the good and bad    
through the rough and smooth
through the happy and sad   
I remain but the fool       
                            
I search for my love        
I retain my promise         
I stare at a face           
I wish for a kiss           
                            
when my wish is granted     
and I get my kiss           
it's not out of love        
so it brings not bliss      
                            
and so my life continues    
in an endless spiral        
searching for my love       
living in denial.
