a looming theatre before his eyes
gaze fixed upon a velvet sea of red
still but a child entranced by its aisles
so in awe of it all, let it be said
booming voices fill the air with clamour
curtains rise to reveal a broad new world
his senses 'roused by all of the glamour
from lips to audience; tongues unfurled
villains and heroes and lovers' quarrels
his heart skips a beat; his breath surrenders
cruel ironies rest upon morals
captivated by stellar pretenders
that theatre taught him about romance
he'll never forget the casts performance
