The Hopeless Romantic

With a yearning heart, she stood
star-gazing  in Luna’s glow -
a silhouetted vision
in the night of black.

Star light, star bright. . . . She whispered.
What she wished for, nonetheless,
was as distant from her as
the man in the moon.


Theme: Love

Can be a sad business, can't it, romance. You've got the essence of that so neatly here.- Red
