Moon light
how close it is to who you are
floating gently over me,
smoothing out my mind.
I am afraid of falling asleep,
but I know you are always there
standing guard.
The moon light kisses me all over
the floating strands of your love
cast to me from so far away.

Just last night, I woke up again
and heard all the noises in my house
a childish fear, but, if I had slept,
the leather man
the skinless man
the rapists and the rest
would
would
would

The moonlight was there to hold my hand
and I could almost hear your voice
That I needn't be frightened
That you were there.
God, I can't wait till that's true again.
