National Poetry Month 2024
Day 20
He wakes up at midnight to take me to visit my moon...
A place out of city lights where the stars shine brighter... a place he had scouted weeks before just for this moment for me ...
We pass the immense rows of lush trees, thick green brush, and every so often a deer watches us drive by as we travel down this unilluminated country road. Windows down, crisp clean breeze kissing my face, his strong hand resting on my hand, on my thigh...I close my eyes for a moment to drink it in, to savor this moment.
I see her almost full in the sky, she follows us to meet her at this nightly secluded park. Just hours before children giggled as they flew through the air on swings and glided down slides ... now it’s saved just for the three of us.
We get out in the darkness, both looking at her almost fullness, he leans back on his car and patiently watches her as I am enamored by her beauty... the lens never captures the full sense of her delicious seduction. He gets me, he sees me, he holds space for me and watches our love affair up close. I lean back into his arms, he holds me, and gently kisses my temple and then my neck ... we watch her float between the trees as lightning bugs flicker in their branches. I take a deep breath, I smile, and relax into the man who feels like home.
