Hide and Seek

Seeing you seek,

watching you peek,

I stand inside the closet,

waiting for you,

Seeing you walk,

hearing you speak,

my eyes, overwhelmed,

my heart aches to voice,

the eagerness in your search,

I hope you won't hit the wall,

you won't fall,

and I hear you call,

for the thousandth time,

I lose the game,

I open the curtains,

I make a squeak,

to an extent, for you to break open,

Seeing you run towards me,

my hands wide open for a hug,

immersed in your expressions,

the excitement in your emotions,

many kisses for the touch of love,

touch of sandalwood, you giggled,

soaked in your senses,

my eyes, overflowing,

my heart aches with a why,

yet your smile wins,

Closing the curtains,

a reminder of the lingering fear,

how will I show you the world,

and here you are, holding my hand,

carrying me in your world of blindness,

preparing me to taste the flavors of life,

driving me to live,

directing me to see,

you, my baby,

what do you pour into my spirit?
