Bnarcissus Poem by Barry A. Lanier

Alas, lovely nymphs, beauty eternal
Surely my pinning heart shall fall
Watching these ripples growing faint
Overwhelmed, body ravishing and tall

Enamored in gaping at this poolside
Imploring to have and hold you dear
Yet dispelling and dithering the waters
Heaping my heart and soul with fear

Inordinate my love and obsession
In your perfection I sit here and drool
No sooner to scatter and disappear
Cerabrations of the unbounded fool
