With Closed Eyes

~ Candace

she always closed her eyes
when wishing on a star
she could not bear the scar
if there were only lies

some planet in disguise
bold, shameless avatar
she always closed her eyes
when wishing on a star

she did not realize
the moon strummed a guitar
hummed love songs from afar
with tender moonbeam sighs –
she always closed her eyes

Today at d’Verse Poets Pub, Gayle from Bodhirose has challenged us to write a Rondel
Meeting the Bar; the Rondel

  3. It looks & feels near perfect to form; lovely, sweet & romantic. to is wistful as well, touching on our need to make sense out of life & the cosmos.

  8. I think that is how you make a wish, with closed eyes. :~) I especially love your last verse, Candy, picturing that moon strumming a guitar…humming love songs. Charming!
