moon/light
Forbid visions in this dark
close pressed lover
arms twined right around me
clasped behind
my back to the window
The full moon glares through the glass
shimmer indignation pooled
on our flesh
for every lonesome vigil kept
When your eyes close
you wander far from this bed
grass prickling under bare foot
midday daredevil
I watch you smile
forbidden to follow
the moon can never hold the sun
Kiss me goodbye
and rise
