Today's Verse: 28 March 2011

Elusive celebrity
Untouchable star
Flickering shadows
Conceal what you are

First you're discovered
Then you're exposed
Fumbling to cover
What everyone knows

You think it's a secret
But nobody cares
The lies you believe
At night in your prayers

The seventh veil slips
No suspense no surprise
The mystery vanishes
You were hypnotized

Listen to me
I'm your true friend
This is the future
This is the end

Liz Taylor?

Could be! Actually began as a meditation before dawn on celebrity as model for self-deception and realization. After I "published", it struck me I could sing it and discovered it practically sings itself as a whiny Brit rock 70s ballad! BUT it's lacking the catchy chorus. I'm working on something that starts "Every star its apogee, from darkness into light ...". Perhaps you can help.

Oh, totally. It's "Everybody's in Show Biz." Let me see if I can come up with something--it's always a treat to use the word "apogee". I'll see if I can get "syzygy" in there too.
