THE WINKS


THE WINKS

I thought
I saw
The moon
Wink
At me.

I couldn't 
Be sure
So I kept
Looking
At it.

Sure enough 
It winked
Again.
This time 
In definite
Flirtation!

I blushed
Deep
Turning 
Shyly
Away...
The moon
Watched me
With a
Smile
On its face.

A rush
Of
Feelings
Coursed
Through
Me...

I desired
To kiss
The moon
You see.

I turned
My face
Upward
Lips puckered
Ready
To kiss 
But the
Object
Of my
Crush
Had vanished
Behind 
A cloud 
Of dark.. 

Wait, I whispered 
Let us
Kiss.

That's when
Dawn
Caressed
My lids.

I knew
Then
It had
All been
A flattering
Dream!
