Time stops for you.

as you stepped
through the door
I could’ve sworn that
my heart
beat
stopped
it its tracks
like a train
without fear
or
a daughter impregnated by rape
without
option of abortion or
morning’s disappointment
when you sleep
‘til noon
or
the sad expression
of a child’s face
when dad can’t keep all the promises.
time stops for
you
and there is
nothing I can
do
because I
am like the stars
to your
moon
and you
are like the sun
without clouds
to dance
and accompany
the blue sky
with
shapes and silhouettes
of bunnies and crabs and
space aliens who
just want a
friend.
