Orchid 1d

Bakewell

Let the rivers run dry, for I grow tired of the scent
Irises grey and energy left spent,
Tears could replenish the thirst of her needs
Yet we fall into daydreams, caked in grease

Orchid May 8

Marianne

I want so many things
Yet those things are unknown

“Simply, I am not the woman I’d convinced myself I was.
And,
I live in fear
That my core is the very essence of what I despise in others”

Orchid May 8

Rain

Have a go and breathe
Exist with ease
See the clouds don’t fight
They feel
They bleed

Orchid Apr 6

Alma

From the earth to the seas
The sunset seamed breeze
The scent of the soil
And the Everard trees

From the ripples of the lake
Paradigm dreams
You’re both my poison
And my destiny

Orchid Mar 15

Naabat

I'll leave you with my words,
So sweet you can lick the page
In turn, gift me your mind,
Your soft angelic ways

Orchid Jan 27

Coffee

What a test the verse may provide
I step my toes into the demise
And I am left with nothing but ache
And a taste for compromise
And God forbid the arise
Of that day you turn to me, sigh,
The day those cacao eyes may cry
And avoid the sight of mine

Orchid Jan 14

Diamond

God, I know for what I ask is
Repetitive
It tires me yet again,
Sedative
But I ask for this man for life
To adore and
To call him mine
