One Glimpse

Sometimes we women think we want to know what our men are hiding inside themselves. Sometimes we think we know, but we really, really don't. I recommend developing a trust that cannot be shaken by outward circumstances. And in that rare moment that he really opens up to you - cherish every word.

ONE GLIMPSE
This morning
we sat around in pajamas
and the window you keep minimized
on the depth of the page of your soul
was suddenly opened

You showed me
-you let me peek
-catch a glimpse
At the window of your heart
A panoramic paradox
-a man with an embrace so huge and strong
-bites off more than he can chew
-cares with the intensity of his own body heat
-attracting affirmation addicts like a magnet
-and intimacy as if he had the capability
to save every life

I treasure the moment
-this rare moment
-the glimpse that you
so willingly and helplessly revealed
what you have so stubbornly protected
for so long

As if I could not be trusted
with your heart
It is quite big and complex

Maybe I cannot
