The Red Carpet Strut

Struttin' his stuff

Glare of lights



Red carpet fashions



Hot tonight







Layers of fans



Line the street



Medicinal mission



Women's treat







Eyes sparkling bright



Wry smile delight



Publicist by side



Just hitting his stride







Acknowledging wave



Traffic staid



All fades to gray



In the spotlight







Adrenaline pumping



Bodyguards jumpin'



Protocol ignored



Fans adore







Sharpie scribbling



Autograph nibbling



Pressing forward



For just a glimpse







Eyes locking once



Deja vu rush



Business demands



Suppress the fans







Cheeks warming red



Something was said



In words unspoken



Moment of token







Caught in the whirl



Hollywood swirl



Feelings denied



Surely they lied










Duty does call



Cross to the mall



Press bulbs to flash



Reality trashed







People to see to



Image maintained



Nothing else matters



Another day's rein







Legacy's goal



Hollywood stroll



Smother the heart



Important part







What about you



The boy back at school



Dreamer's dart



In Celtic heart







Don't lose sight



Of what's right



At days end



What will mend







Ignore



Hearts implore



That one pair of eyes



In the crowd







World drops away



Something to sway



Attend to the call



Fame is not all







Towed by an elbow



The press to meet



Accolades many



Symphony sweet







When party's over



Home to his bed



Head is a swimmin'



Exhaustion thread










One more achievement



Another rave review



List check-off met



Mission set







Drifting toward sleep



Presence he keeps



Many adorers



Inside his head







Still sheets are cold



Accolades old



With whom to share



What can compare







Visceral touch



Would mean so much



Drift off to sleep



Presence to keep







Sweet sleep oblivion



Masks yet again



A missing piece



Of perfection







Human doing morn



Rise yet to greet



Appointments to keep



Always more







Bright lights again



Flood out the colours



Of everyday



Possibility
