in the intense climax
of copulation
you penetrated
my eyes
and in that moment
when your emerald eyes captured
each indigo iris
you knew me
more completely
than i had ever
allowed another
you saw my love for you
in each indigo iris
and you promised
you'd never forget me
you lied
now tears wet my cheeks
and the pain floods from a sacred spring
deep within
where i was pure
and the white
that surrounds each indigo iris
is stained red
i see your face
beyond my reach
in the depths of dreams
but when i wake,
each indigo iris scans the bed
for your face,
finding nothing but flannel
cloth-covered emptiness
