The shade of the light
My ovation is to the slaves
Who built the Taj Mahal.
My ovation to the soldiers
Who made Alexander the great.
My ovation is to mice and cats
Who promoted the scientists.
Am I a cynic or jealous?

Standing Ovation
C' un mistero che non lo so
Quando ti vedo che cos'ho
Sento tremare lo stomaco
Qualcosa di profondo sai
Mi fa andar fuori di testa
Fuori di me
Io non capisco senza di te... (Oh no!?)
Il mondo che cos'?
Ho camminato per strade sai
Ho fatto cose che non dovrei
Ho visto cose fantastiche
Ho avuto donne bellissime
Nessuna ha mai chiarito se
Il mondo vero senza di te... (Oh no?)
Io credo di no!
Standing ovation
Standing ovation per te!
Standing ovation
ovation for you!
Ho passeggiato nel buio sai
ho vinto tutto e ho riperso poi
Ho visto cose fantastiche
Ho avuto donne bellissime
Nessuna ha mai chiarito se
Il mondo vero senza di te... (Oh no?)
Io credo di no!
Standing ovation
Standing ovation per te
Standing ovation
Ovation for you!
Standing ovation
Standing ovation per te
Standing ovation
Ovation for you
Ti ho mandato un messaggio ieri sera
sulla segreteria telefonica
sono dei fiori
No Ti ho pensato molto stamattina
Quando ho visto nascere il sole
Ti ho mandato subito un messaggino
Era: per te vorrei essere migliore
Standing ovation
Ovation for you

Myself
You never seen nobody as divine as
She can see reflections
In her own eyes
An admission of desire,
On a handsome afternoon
Is an ovation to her ego
In her everyone is everything and
Everything is mine
Ms. marceau
You dont need another,
Youll always be your own hero
Myself ms. marceau
You dont need another, youll always
Be your own hero
As if were speaking in
Another language
Every word means i, me,
Mine every hello every good
No escape to the life of the average
Its an ovation to my ego
In her every one is everything and
Everything is mine
Were very fortunate to have her here
Accounts are empty and my friends
Deserted long ago but
She say that Im okay, so Im okay

I love working in Canada. The ovation is great. It makes me feel like I'm the top dog.
Devotion and Persistence
A warm welcome of deeds performed,
Aren't always received with standing ovation.
Sometimes what is done is not even noticed.
So what does one do?
Break down in devastation?
Those who give from the heart,
Are not that small in number.
They are not out seeking applause,
Like many false givers do!
It isn't rare that there are those sincere.
They do not appear with banners adorned.
Wanting their accomplishments,
To be heard going on and on.
By someone else who may be impressed.
Someone else who may or may not express envy.
A warm welcome of deeds performed,
Aren't always received with standing ovation.
Sometimes what is done is not even noticed.
So what does one do?
Break down in devastation?
Or make proclamations,
Of how long their 'sacrifices' have been in place!
And those social butterflies,
Are never without their resumés.
Or hints of reminders of those deeds done they do.

The standing ovation threw me... to be held in such regard in a town so full of talent is quite something.

I have also noticed that when a rider who had confidence in his ability was defeated, after doing his level best to win, always received an ovation from the gathering.

How High The Moon
I am what I am - I am my own special creation.
So come take a look, give me the hook or the ovation.
Its my world
That I want to have a little pride in - my word,
And its not a place I have to hide in
Lifes not worth a damn, til you can say:
I am what I am

I received the most fantastic welcome to the Broadway Theatre community. I walked on stage to tremendous applause and a long standing ovation, wondering when I was ever going to be able to say my first line!

Because We Were Too Careful...
we tiptoed
not to earn their anger
and we become
ballet dancers
much to their pleasures
and we earn
the big clap
those civilized
ovation and
warm public
applause
yet look at us now
old fools
never been really happy
even for
just once.

I was blown away by the standing ovation. I've had tributes before, sure, but I don't retain that feeling, and I wasn't prepared for it on Tuesday. But maybe you shouldn't retain these things or you'd be on a permanent high.

Measuring His Life
with coffee cups
something to wake him up
from a deadly
stupor
the last cup of coffee
is reserved
for his elegy
at this point he expects
no one to drink to that
except perhaps the
nod of silence
the standing ovation of
the wind's
tired hushes

Faded Hero
I’m leaving you alone
Moving on, living on my own
No sympathy is needed
My heart was diseased, and it couldn’t be treated
The shadows are calling
I’m forced to start crawling
The dark skies are all I can see
Every time I took a step it felt like you were mocking me
I made the same mistake twice
Should’ve taken my friend’s advice
Tearing this S off my chest, I wasn’t a hero
Didn’t have a heart, but you divided it by zero
Great job, ya get a standing ovation
Tearing through my emotions without an explanation
The pain didn’t bother me ‘til just now
So stand up, and let everyone see you bow.

Theatrics
A captivated audience is easier to trick,
With surprising theatrics.
Than those who have rehearsed,
The implementing of fear to test periodically...
For the effectiveness of reactions expected.
'We did it!
Finally we got a standing ovation.
Everyone sat on the edge of their seats.
We must keep this momentum at its peak,
Every performance.'

Madras Monsoon
Like the awaited chief guest
Comes to fare on thundering ovation
Flooded people sail in spirit
Unknowing of a manhole-salvation
Gone to come back by litanies and matins
Meantime-dug pits are ready to harvest
Erstwhile pour next time fails
Exterior rivers enforced to in set

humor ***** BORING SPEAKER
A boring speaker during our graduate school orientation for transferees and freshmen arousing incidentally the collapsing audience eagerness to listen her long chilly speeches until she highlighted much this line, ' In the Philippines, the higher the educational degree, the higher the tuition fees '. Then thunderous ovation applauded.

Less Yet Full
'He's Ageless, Timeless, Space less
Sinless, Spotless, Measureless
Passionless, Desire less, Anger less
Motionless, Emotionless, Ovation less
Speechless, Ego less, Voiceless
Feeling less, Fearless, Fatigue less
Yet is placed on the 'Highest Seat'
'He' whom with hands folded and flowers we greet
Soft, Smooth yet hard, rude as iron.
Notes: 'He's' less of everything and yet full is the entire irony in which 'He' has been described.

Our Nation
Look at our Nation,
Defiled by discrimination,
Making a separation,
Between the present generation;
The younger generation,
Must take into consideration,
And give some useful information,
Using their modulus calculation;
To remove the obstruction,
Caused by the politician,
without any co-operation,
among the people of our Nation
Now, oncoming revolution,
Will provide a path of salvation,
For our Indian Nation,
To which I pay my ovation.
