In Tell Your Eyes

In tell your eyes, 
Wanting to resign from staring.
Your snore sings me a lullaby, or 
Is it you know just when to cuddle up.

Combined audio presence of us at night, 
When all is quiet, we experience passion,
Sharing the days intimate rashon, with sweat,
And heavy breathing, in telling by your smile,
That you just might beat me in scrabble.

Guess who love you, with my hands 
Over your eyes, knowing I just rushed home to 
My sunrise, I try to demonstration,
A display of excitement in a variety of always. 

Your warmth, that laugh, 
I’m now on a boat over the tears I cried.
You just sign, when I want to become combative.
It suddenly makes me feel really stupid, 
Because all I’ve said just rushed back.

I love you, for all the wrong and right reasons.
Even when you promise something you can’t keep,
It pisses me off often, but I’m smitten with your smell,
Right before you get into the shower.

Can it be, that I can be a good women for you
I asked it as I walked to work,
You walked in the opposite direction,
After a kiss, 
That gave me a hint 
That we wouldn’t be playing 
Scrabble tonight…
