Iris Pool

The anticipation of
Not knowing
If my fantasy of you
Is being relieved. 

To taste and touch you 
and then share 
my flesh with yours. 

Hoping for an expected
Ironic disposition of a 
Holy archetype. 

I try to rid myself of 
This mutation—a handicap
All too familiar. 

I lose myself
In your eyes and 
I falsely believe that 
They are mine 
To swim in.
