Ballad of the White Orchid

The shivering eyeglasses lazily coating the ground

Break way to the budding of the season.

To reincarnate is to live the anomaly,

The evergreen boughs bend in the wind.

 

Coalescing crystals form dew on our morn

To leave a fresh taste, on lips, on tongue.

The time is imminent, but the dawn is young,

My white Orchid, born to the sun.

 

Simply, optically, it's to weak to touch

Unworthy digits, to blind to see.

My scarlet levees, to right to feel.

The ivory blossom, to right to be real.

 

Under the canopies, the shimmering outline

Moves closer until the mirror cracks

And our reflections are polymorphicly one,

Our hearts still polyamorously two.

 

I yearn to dream of lucid lavender,

The aroma surrounds the dream, still dreamed

The scent so real, or so it seemed

Encapsulating this moment in amber.

 

Until we sleep, until we fly

Together. Our wings open to embrace the quilted high.

Our mouths embrace to fill the void,

Unleash the magic, bathing us in light

 

Bricks and mortar overlap my thoughts

But time alone is not a wall.

Time alone, it cannot fall

And it still ticks with the beat of my pendulum.

 

Oh flower, oh life, vitality aplenty.

Your hideousness, a secret untold,

Withers to your beauty, yet to unmold.

Le voyage fantasme is here for me now.

 

And now the grains slip between my toes.

The sandcastles caress the glass of our hour.

It's never too late, but always on time,

So before the light fades, kiss me and say

 

"I'll sleep tonight,

I'll dream of you."

Orchid, my Orchid, love, my love

I'll dream with you forever.
