Husband

His handsome appearance
Waving in and out of her life
In and out of what is real in one sense

A warrior of spirit things
I came to know him that way

He touched her
Below the waistline
And her voice vibrated
She anticipated making love to him
He picked out lingerie for her
When they met again

He had awareness about living
An awesome life ahead of him
And in his past 

My heart was in safekeeping with him
And his with her

Big bad booty daddy
Tennessee sweatshirt
Mama’s boy

He kept no key in his pocket
Anymore, Ever
He wore one in his mind
By the hand of something greater

She loved him
Because he was lovable
And his laughter lifted her
Like The Principles of Life
That he knew inherently 
And studied
And was raised by

Taking no bull, her either
She described his heart as covered 
In calm
That’s how he survived the worst
Love on top of death
Death crushed by survival.
