The gentle gesture
of a kangaroo eating
out of the palms of your hands
cupped just so,
hands beneath just holding
your hands there
trusting you to offer
a favorite treat.
I look over at you.
The look of adoration
stuns me.
It's not that I'm surprised,
It's more that you look at me
like I'm a wonder, an enigma,
Some precious strange thing
to be protected
and loved
and cherished.
A moment captured in time
You lean up behind me and
the picture is done and we
move on.
You are my gentle love,
the honey in my gaze,
the caramel apple of my eye
the happy ending of my days.
Your sweetest company
a mystery unfolded,
an adventure enfolded
into laced fingers
and bodies
folded
skin against skin.

I wrote this for my husband. He has to leave the country and be away from me for awhile. and I will miss him terribly. I'm going through my own process of dealing with the separation after having a long distance relationship for 5 years and finally getting married and being physically together since June 7, 2024. (We visited for shorter periods of time throughout, but this is the longest we've been able to physically be together the entire time).
It will be hard, but we have done this before. We'll be alright. I'll be watching the same moon at night and wishing for the stars to grant me some time with him in my dreams.
