my love

this is my husband.
i am not going tell you if this was halloween
or just another saturday night...
but i will tell you that i think he looks hot.
he lets me put on his make-up, but he is picky about it.
the boa is from my personal collection
and on most occasions he brings his fog machine with him.

he likes heavy metal from the eighties.
he has a passion for video games and matchbox cars.
he loves everyday that our son is one day older...
one day closer to understanding the excitement
of a train show at the county fair ground
or the significance of the fishing in the Wisconsin river
with his grandfather.

he pisses me off when he leaves
the trash on our screen porch,
or when i play him a song i like
and he doesn't listen to the words.

sometimes i go to bed at night and i wonder
if we really know each other, if our souls are really in tune...
he doesn't know what is on my iPod
he rarely reads this blog and
he can not relate to the demons that keep me up all night

but he believes in forever
and with the great ease
and constant humor
he takes care of my heart.
