Some Kind Of Angel

Alexandra
Night casts eerie shadows upon the wall,
distorting the reality tonight.
Plagued by diseased images of the mind,
toss and turn in my !tful slumber.
"ar#ness clouds my mind li#e in# to water,
spreading till e$erything remains blac#.
%yelids &utter until ha$e awa#ened,
startled into the silhouettes that are
this room. 'ear creeps o$er my shoulder, but
there is nothing to fear, for my angel lies
sleeping beside me. Safely tuc#ed beneath
his wings, may slumber onward tonight,
with his warmth burying me so sweetly.
A serene calm brushes o$er my chee#,
allowing sleep to follow it softly.
