Sea-Ing Eye-To-Eye

in our bathtub,
eye to eye
floating on
suds and such,
mind to mind…
wandering ..
.
  .
    .
      .
bubbling thoughts
   without foundation,
merely bland lips and blush.

danger lies
   on the other side of the tub.

our hands hang on
   to the sides
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

through the years of frangipani 
and chamomile, the subtle touch
of vanilla skin,
that tantalizes every nerve.
O
   O      O
      O
                  O
            O
                   O

the sea stirs mightily...
   voluptuously lingers

as fingers cling
   to the see-through boat.

...a knock at the door
brings us to our senses.

the crocodile smile says it all
so we must hide our wiles
hilarious footdance erased
shower curtain in place
