'moonstruck'

Just like gunpowder
prolong exposure
not advisable
to walk on the moon
a dream for many

uncertainty
about the truth
not an issue
walk on the moon
ultimate 
aim in life
to explore

unearth
unknown
realms

I 
somehow
prefer

Not walking 
on the moon
It might spoil
my fantasy 
of a full moon
two hearts beating
echoing love

Romance disappears
when dust show its face
cuddling up with you
looking at the moon 
I remain starstruck

You said it, Wilma. I have no desire to explore unknown realms and spoil my fantasy (for me, the man in the moon). Excellent form and I love hat last line! Congratulations on your win. Love, Carolyn

I agree Wilma, much better to share romance looking at it than getting there. Great entry for the contest and glad for your win! Luv, Lizzie

This is another different take on the theme, Missy! I really enjoyed your unique imagery here-- on gunpowder and I like the different mindset you put in here! Yeah, dust can be a romance killer, ei? I hope you're having a good week up ahead! I still owe you mail :(!! Mwahugs!! :D
