Vacancy

I have space
for you.
There are limits,
of course.
But they were not set
by me.
He made me in
His image.
Only He knows
my ceiling
and floor.
This heart has many chambers
some unused
some still bruised
some occupied with
the past.
But there is room
for you.
I saved my very best
amenities:
soft cotton sheets
seaside views
a hundred-twenty channels
mini soaps and shampoos.
Do not wonder
at the loneliness;
The walls hold more
than emptiness.
The space can be filled--
It is not without warmth--
There is vacancy.
It is reaching for you.
The neon lights flicker
like lightning bugs in summer
lighting the way
to your home
within me.
