Orchid May 2024
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
Orchid May 2024
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 2024
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 2024
Have a go and breathe
Exist with ease
See the clouds don’t fight
They feel
They bleed
Orchid Apr 2024
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 2024
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 2024
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
