Just for a moment,
and from a distance,
I thought I found a
safe place to
Park my heart.
A place that knew
the same pain and
hurt that I knew, a
place that knew
that pain and hurt
were not the
same thing.
A place where
words and thoughts
and form had both
meaning and texture.
A place where
the heart is
celebrated and
love consummated
in mind and spirit
long before lips
meet and hungry
touches interrupt.
Just for a moment,
and from a distance,
I thought I found
a safe place to
to park my heart.
A place with the
same imperfections
that define me.
A place looking
to park their heart
in a safe harbor
and take refuge
from the storm.
Just for a moment,
and from a distance,
I thought I saw you.
