I loved a girl
She wasn’t pretty or fair
I’m not even sure
of the color of her hair
***
I read her on paper
that’s where I would see
a portrait of words
quietly enfolding me
***
A journey of sorts
is where we would go
nowhere had limits
places high- places low
***
I loved her because
she opened my eyes
to a world without speaking
no barriers- no lies
***
We never got closer
than Jupiter and Mars
but the fire in her eyes
drew my heart to the stars
