Spoken words
Orchid 7d
Imperative movements aid the predator's success
It is a Race of Arms
Just as Gods own intent,

Eventually, I'll leave this world in peace I concur
And I will lay in snakeskin
Whilst adorned with fur.

We were fooled by an extrovert's own impropriety
You may call it a lost cause
I call it society.



You may call it fantasy
Yet I shamed it with piety

The Middle Step
Orchid May 23
I am a good middle step
A solid in-between
Yet this aching has begun
As I get lost in my dreams

I am a good middle step
You may fall onto me
Or I’ll support your rise
Till you get where you need

I am a good middle step
For both lovers and friends
But no one stays
I am no one’s end

I am a good middle step
It was once my desire
I know I chose this
But now, I’m tired

I am a good middle step
And I don’t wish to change
I want someone to sit by me
To select me and stay

Bakewell
Orchid May 19
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
May 8 · 66
Marianne
Orchid May 8
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”
May 8 · 104
Rain
Orchid May 8
Have a go and breathe
Exist with ease
See the clouds don’t fight
They feel
They bleed
Apr 6 · 187
Alma
Orchid Apr 6
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
Mar 15 · 245
Naabat
Orchid Mar 15
I'll leave you with my words,
So sweet you can lick the page
In turn, gift me your mind,
Your soft angelic ways
Jan 27 · 45
Coffee
Orchid Jan 27
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
Jan 14 · 38
Diamond
Orchid Jan 14
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

Crescent
Orchid Dec 2023
Let the moon bring light to your fears,
Let the ocean dry your tears.

Sweetheart
Orchid Nov 2023
My tongue fails me in painting you the love that spills out of my heart
So take solace in my eyes and from their gaze never depart
Oct 2023 · 373
Galaxy
Orchid Oct 2023
I wanted to collect the essence of your gaze
For in those infinite timelines
Maybe you’d have stayed
Oct 2023 · 66
Home
Orchid Oct 2023
The saddest thing is missing home, when you didn’t even have one

I’d reside in my friends smiles, now nothing, they’re gone.
Aug 2023 · 289
Essence
Orchid Aug 2023
I can’t gaze in your direction
With enough adoration
So I’ll sit here and contemplate
My solitary damnation
Aug 2023 · 181
Sunken
Orchid Aug 2023
And I will just sit here and cry,
Cry tears that flow to the moon pulled tides,

I wasn’t told that Love adores Pain,
Forever to roam by its side.
Aug 2023 · 244
Fruit Juice
Orchid Aug 2023
A nuance undoubted
Penchant
Candid
Breast milk matured
Turned sour
Rancid
Screams so astounded
Fly as man did
Cry with intent
Leave unaccounted
Aug 2023 · 159
Detergent
Orchid Aug 2023
A particularly partial postponement of grieves,
Lie then spit grace at my tongue with ease

Unfollowed by saviours
Unprocessed, unclean

Cartwheel by powders
Puffed and pristine
Aug 2023 · 67
Paimon
Orchid Aug 2023
A weakness with tweaks
And the mind of a freak
I fear if she was loved
She'd turn the other cheek
So on Christ's behalf, I speak
I live vicariously
And will walk on cracked soil
As water hurts my feet
Jul 2023 · 228
Shadow
Orchid Jul 2023
He said

“Your soul will grace the skies”
As he wept and cried
Unloaded his gun
And put the bullet in mine
Jul 2023 · 59
Cacao
Orchid Jul 2023
Our love to me, bittersweet,
for making me love you like this I despise.

Is it bad I want my baby to hold the same shine that glazes your eyes?
Jun 2023 · 424
Sphere
Orchid Jun 2023
Your heartbeat sings for me
In a world I call our own

I love you helplessly,
May my mind be your home
May 2023 · 246
Haze
Orchid May 2023
Ride the melody
With an oak wood lip
I just long for a taste
Of your marinated kiss

A lick of the earth
Can't satisfy my needs
But a touch of the ether
the beyond, the unreached.
May 2023 · 185
Dinner Date
Orchid May 2023
Pardon my haste,
May I once again lie?
Joke, as your tongue envelops in mine?
We dine in silence
Unbroken with time
I'll love you in full
Until half past nine
Feb 2023 · 88
Banquet
Orchid Feb 2023
Love unknown
To the strongest of hearts
He told me “ I love you”
Then death did us part

No longer in body
But mind inspirited
I’ve lived long enough
To dine with the privileged
Feb 2023 · 127
Nacre
Orchid Feb 2023
If I was to know
What would become of me now
I would leave no trace,
No utter of a vow
No sight of these eyes
Would be left in the world
But return untouched,
Pure, like a pearl
May 2022 · 87
Carcass
Orchid May 2022
With a villainous gasp I heave
Move to the sun as I bleed
Dance as time seeps through cracks
And onto this rhyme I seethe
And onto this page I grieve
Words decease as soon as they’re written
So everything here, I leave.
Apr 2022 · 179
Sugar
Orchid Apr 2022
Is she a fool?
To leave it all behind and be at peace on her own?
But will it be tranquil or will it be hell?
Tell me what to do I'm confused,
Unwell
But am I sick because of love?
Or the thought of it's smell
Mar 2022 · 190
Tall Tale
Orchid Mar 2022
Drained but replaced, with pity and Lore
Red eyes roll back
Cerise to the core,
Cherry Lips tickled,
A flavorsome bunch
But
Lost to the man in the tomb with a hunch
The eyes of a fox and tail in a bunch
And the anaemic souls he'd stole
for his lunch
Feb 2022 · 110
Everlasting
Orchid Feb 2022
A lot of it scares me.
Not much the wrinkles or the grey.
But the anticipation, the knowing,
I will one day fade away.

Be but a sad name to whisper
A lost statistic, cold.
But in my poems I'm immortal
So onto these words
I hold.

Would he?
Orchid Dec 2021
If she left it aflame,
Would he stick by?

                                                   or sigh,
                                                       as he is tossed, cast away to the
                                                            side

With just the scent of her hair,
Memory of her eyes
          
                          
                                                      With a backhand embrace
                                                             confronted with lies
Jul 2021 · 100
Damnation
Orchid Jul 2021

She left all the rocks,
Embraced with the skies,
But landed in a net of deceit and lies
And cried to the sound of a sunset demise
With her heart in the gutter
Nothing was to rise
But the horns on his head
And crimson in his eyes.
Jul 2021 · 207
Hazel
Orchid Jul 2021
As two hearts would embrace
Two worlds would collide
"My darling I am yours,
And you are simply,
Divine."
Jun 2021 · 198
Vacant
Orchid Jun 2021
"Come with me, far away." I told you
Eager your bones had clattered
And joined me in that cloudless cave
Where no one and nothing mattered.
Jun 2021 · 93
Halva
Orchid Jun 2021
"A jar of honey has never hurt anyone"




                                                         …                                                  




                                                                          Tell that to the guy who's
                                                                      manhood got stuck in one.

On the Hilltop
Orchid May 2021
I'd count the number of daises,
Dressed with the honey bee buzz,
That played with the wind, a symphony,
Harmonic to the sight of our love.
May 2021 · 751
Crown
Orchid May 2021

Impossible, fantastical
It cannot make sense at all
I used to pride myself in my posture
But somehow you've made me fall.
Apr 2021 · 104
Jewel
Orchid Apr 2021
I've heard that the ocean will often cry,
Cry tears all along the moon pulled tides,
For she knows she can never hold the same beauty,
That the shards of beryl hold in your eyes.
Apr 2021 · 95
Irene
Orchid Apr 2021
"My deranged indulgence
Take me away
Back to the jail I sat
waiting,
on Mother's Day."
Apr 2021 · 97
Honey
Orchid Apr 2021
It doesn't take much,
I wish it would take more
To get me hooked on your presence
Craving you more and more
My beating heart is easy
My legs not so much
But you've captured my mind
Where many cannot touch
I have felt love before
The pitiful, serpent kind
But something pure lies in-between
Your tongue and doe eyes
I feel sick with a yearn
To hold you, to feel
That vexing sweet smile
Absorb in the depths of teal
I've never felt such hate
For a man I so desire
But your words, oceanic
Soothe my volcanic fires
One moment I smoke fear
The other I am subdued
Waiting for your response
I shine a crimson hue
It is pain and tiresome
But what can I do?
I'm addicted and sick
To you and only you.
It's a game I never wished to play, but I have taken my seat at the table.
I guess it's time to roll the dice.
Apr 2021 · 86
The Poet
Orchid Apr 2021
Nonsensical in speech
but with deeper understanding
you can follow my words
rise to the poet panting

For he stands and sits
upon those emblem crowns
gives emotion to listeners
adorned in silk gowns
Mar 2021 · 920
Treachery
Orchid Mar 2021
For what can I say but disagree with the rest,

The daughter of Poseidon
Caught fishing out a net

With the denial of most
I cannot fear for the man

With the face of a goat
And hoof for a hand.


Fell in love like a blossom
Ripped from it's path

Drifting and floating
Then crumbling when dark,

Held my hand and watched
The snowflakes heave

And move to the sound of a sunset breeze.
Mar 2021 · 877
Illiberality
Orchid Mar 2021
Roaming the plane soulless spiting rights, spitting facts

Exhausting public eyes whilst rendering a tax.
Jan 2021 · 97
Caustic
Orchid Jan 2021
I seem to forget, the point of his cries
tears paint his face
then the inside of my thighs

Seasoned with intent
I tire of his ways,
an emotional pit
with a never-ending say
Oct 2020 · 53
aschenputtel
Orchid Oct 2020
A young blonde, who's face more evident than her heart  
She'd cerulean eyes and the lips of a ****
A beauty for the senses, honey and innocence faded
Leaving her rotting at the core, a ****** up sadist

She was loved yet never returned the feelings to the ******
Stare you dead in the eyes and your nightmare was planned
Pitied all her life, mother wanted circumcision
So she upped and left with her ******* tilted toward fiction

Spent her days in a wine cellar, the dungeons were full
Her claws scraped at the walls bathed in grape juice that was mulled,
She'd lay on the floor, compared herself to Siddhartha
Lacerate a bit of skin every hour as a sacrifice to her father

Met the love of her life whilst dancing like a *****,
The sluttiest of the bunch, he yearned for an encore
Mother begged and refused, sensed the evil in her eyes,
She was bought around whilst she was wedged between her thighs.
Jun 2020 · 76
Cherry Tart
Orchid Jun 2020
Spent days of rebellion on the shore
Coaxing the libidinous village shuckers,
Exiled as a **** on a raft chuckling
"Carpe Diem *******!"
May 2020 · 88
Axiom
Orchid May 2020
I know my heart is all you have
But we forget about my pride
My heart is a gelid stone
Holding a reckless divide

If you were to throttle me
My dear you should be so kind
Because "True Love's Kiss"
Is the Devil's tongue in disguise
May 2020 · 73
Malady
Orchid May 2020
At this point I'd rather be stabbed
Watch the blood drain out of myself
Than sit here and yearn for someone
Who so clearly loves somebody else.
May 2020 · 114
Watchmaker
Orchid May 2020
The devil to me is a better acquaintance
Than the angels that would redeem mankind
...
As the angels were molded by your potent hand
The same hand that created this lie
May 2020 · 79
Sevgi
Orchid May 2020
I fear
If this fire does not tire.
Refrain from burning me whole
...
I will die
Having lost sight of everything
I once stood for
...
A concave grind into nothing
A phoenix
That slept upon ashes
And didn't rise
For it failed to feel something
Apr 2020 · 88
Grand Prince
Orchid Apr 2020
Emptied his stomach
Bloodless puncture in his breastplate
Breath lost before victory
Could be muttered in checkmate
