Her eyelids
Gently open
Her dark eyes
Focus
On me
Taken aback
In a split second
I know
She can handle
The full me
I gaze back
Not looking away
Taking in
The deep reservoir
Represented
As I see my
Reflection
In her
We connect
On a level
A dangerous
Exhilarating level
Wanting to know
This creature
To explore
And frolic
Childlike
As we laugh
Tickle
And play
