Today I went swimming in your eyeball
through the sea of sticky marshmallow white

your tiny red veins ticked my legs like frisky seaweed

I took a walk through your iris
a vast landscape
like an open field, freshly rained on
with patches of sticky mud

your iris
the color of the bark on a tree in a silent forest,
the color of warm wood in a crackling fire,
the color of a chocolate square slowly melting in my palm,

I stomp my feet through your precious iris
I scoop handfuls of clay-mud color
and toss the golden brown pieces everywhere

I drag my feet through your muddy iris
I leave my muddy footprint tracks in your eyeball

pacing, searching
intruding

This is an amazing new perspective and contains a lot of creativity. I truly enjoyed reading the poem.

&lrm;&quot;I&rsquo;m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don&rsquo;t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world.&quot; - Beyonc&eacute;

I like the creativity and great poem!
