that morning

by e. h. - Libra

that morning
her shampoo...

  scents of

   coconut
    salt
    lime

as she ran it
 through my
   hair

scrubbing deep
   enough

to send shivers
   down my 
    skin

a rerun of the night
  before when i 
wondered how come
  she reminded
me of the sea

  deep and wet
and tasting of salt

and something i'd
only see every now
    and then

throwing myself into
with sweet abandon
wishing it wouldn't 
be so long 'til

  next time
