Shampoo In My Eyes

Relationships can be so much fun, 
The inside jokes, the secret ways you
Tell me you know I am coming
For your heart, that all pathways 
Have been cleared of debris
From last night's storm
And the many doors to your love
All open, expecting me.

Yes I am he that waters, 
That fertilizes orchids, 
Tendrils flowing with your hair, 
Tasting the nectar
Of every blossom, 
As I go though door after door…
Seemingly without end…
So open are you to me.

I braille every curve, 
Explore every shadow, every line, 
Breathe in the fragrance
Of your laughter, your smile.
There's so much yet to tell you, 
And your music to swim in, 
That I hardly even notice, 
The shampoo in my eyes.
