Angel

An angel lay 

Bathed in cold moonlight

I breathed the warmth of my kisses

So it might permeate her skin 

And make it glow.

Her eyelids flickered

Like those stars 

Blinking faraway greetings of goodnight

And I know if they’d been open

They would fill my soul with light.

Oh soft rhythms guide my feet 

Soft rhythms lead me home

If each beat be a step

And your heart is mine
Then I will walk with you

Until the day I die.
