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.

Wow, Joyce this is a different take on the man in the moon-- I really enjoyed how you did yours with a twist-- being entranced by the moon at first then at the other half revealing how it could lie... congrats on your win! :D
