Moon Dusted
Entranced as I was
By man in the moon,
I dreamed my young dreams,
Rehearsed my love tunes.
Romance reigned supreme.
Romantic high
In young girl's dream
As high as sky
Or bright moonbeam.
Seductive
Dust in eyes
Cloaks the lies.
Concealed
Revealed
Fraud
Broad
Promise
Of moon
Though believed
Unachieved
Was deceived
Even the moon
Changes his tune,
Breaking a heart,
Seduced from start.
Girls, dream if you must,
But not with moon dust
Covering your eyes.
It is no surprise
Man in the moon lies.
