Wishing on stars – Free Verse – November 9, 2015

I wished upon the stars
that fell in a summer night
as I sat in a cafe
along the river Seine

flirting with that handsome man
I lent to him my fan
the air was just so hot and still
his eyes were like two flames

we walked along the empty streets
the Ferris wheel was dark
we slipped into the shadows
and made love there in the park

when I wished upon those stars
I never thought that night …
That I’d be washing floors and windows
and dirty diapers too … 😉
