Moonlight

I find myself wanting to touch you when your
Face is hidden within the shadows of the moon.
I keep wanting to see you when the front door

Is wide open and when there is a light strewn
All across the windowpanes. The light gleams
All over my soul. I know it is never too soon

To know mystery. I have wishes and dreams
That are always held in your soft embrace like
A new mother holds her newborn child. Streams

Of tears as your graceful beauty brings a strike
Of lightning. It finds and takes me down to my
Knees. The moonlight puts me in a dreamlike

State of mind. There is no amount of tears I cry
That can ever replace the way you have been
There on sleepless nights when I ask you why?

In every prayer you have guided me and seen
Me at my worst. You make me feel clean.
