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.

Illiberality
Orchid Mar 2021
Roaming the plane soulless spiting rights, spitting facts

Exhausting public eyes whilst rendering a tax.

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.

Hero

The poor shall marvel as the rich will pity,

There is only room for one man in the immigrants city

Vineyard
Orchid May 2019
How can your soul
roam across this world

while it holds no care?

Drinks jam out of its jars
And sleeps in a bus shelter

Behind the toothless grin

and the dreams of the Boulevard

Blasphemy
Orchid Jun 2019
Hush young one
Censored thoughts,

Keep it astray you must

Else a liar shall be spat upon
A scoundrel buried in dust


Sprint away
Without your whimpering cries,

Back to your solid slum

Your mother will be baking your pies,
Honeysuckle apple and plum


Now if you ever were to tell,
Satan would weep to behave

I'll build a wall for you

Patterned with words
Resting upon your fathers own grave

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

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

Let the moon bring light to your fears,
Let the ocean dry your tears.

I wanted to collect the essence of your gaze
For in those infinite timelines
Maybe you’d have stayed

Crown of Thorns
Orchid May 2019
As you sail away into the abyss,
Our fate is sealed by true loves kiss,
A lie, repeated, thrashed pon' waves of guilt,
Sweet as nectar lies, in the babies bottle of milk,

Gaze as the flames dance with a vigour,
Shaken, boiled with Jesus's liquor,
Condensed upon glass, upon glass shall condense,
Bittersweet tears, of which sins may repent

Palm trees whistled as sky held Luna,
The commoners spat and praised 'Alleluia',
Let him breathe, let him sit, let him praise, let him run,
King of the Jews, your chariot has begun,

Pockets cupped and saved torn bibles,
Caressing the minds of the bad disciples,
Lucifer created hell for their own protection,
A crown of thorns worn with failed redemption,
336 · Dec 2021
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

I can’t gaze in your direction
With enough adoration
So I’ll sit here and contemplate
My solitary damnation

Up I stay,
Till the moons full in bloom,

Take me away.
I'll run away with you,

Mary
Orchid Jul 2019
Tear me a shred of the good
Lords Dignity
For what is a man if he
Doesn’t sicken me

Star dusted wishes, blessed with
An angels touch
Look her in the eyes
Convince her that its not lust

I can see why the wise men
said that she is crazy
As she inhaled the scent of Myrrh
And screamed “it doesn’t phase me”
276 · Aug 2023
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
273 · May 2023
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.

Cherry Tree
Orchid May 2019
God made us blossoms

Beauty a subjective concept,


Yet when she held your soul

She plucked for you the light of sunsets

Ariel
Orchid Jul 2019
Men have since been lured the same way
By that one that got away

That same angel in disguise

Forever shall she drain the colour of baby blue eyes
Drain them into crimson

A crimson lifeless lie.

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

He said

“Your soul will grace the skies”
As he wept and cried
Unloaded his gun
And put the bullet in mine

As two hearts would embrace
Two worlds would collide
"My darling I am yours,
And you are simply,
Divine."

Insomnia
Orchid Dec 2019
No longer I shall sleep
Unless your hand is upon mine,

Counting the beats of your heart
As our souls entwine
Orchid May 2019
Glory to God!
In heaven above
I'm sick of your sins
Sewn with
lust

Your tongue
Eyes
Drowned in lager
Father no saint
Mother a martyr

Tears shed gold
In Christs own name
Bellowed
by man
Pentecostal flame

Roped their arms
Touched all sick
Hammered
him in
On your crucifix

I
Condemn you to
The wrath of the Luna
Sallow your pride
Sing Hallelujah

"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.

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
223 · Aug 2019
Belle
Orchid Aug 2019
At last at peace,
Closing her pale rose lips,

Dawn till Dusk her fingers count,

Until she shall again rise,
Rise and watch the nights moon clasped in the sky's hands

With her long lost orchid eyes

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

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
205 · Aug 2023
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.

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
187 · Aug 2023
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

Rose Mist
Orchid Jul 2019
See the crimson petals
Dance to the floor

Selfish in nature
Thus labelled a *****,


A pardoned disguise
I pity yet adore her

Her blossom tongue protected
The sweet scent of ammonia

The smile
Orchid Jul 2019
“My children,” he said “Be aware of devilry,

                    For as Mankind is held in esteem,

Refrain from catching the ***** tendency

               Or you will become an ill mans dream.”
A forbidden act

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

Dearg Due
Orchid May 2019
I swear to endeavour,
As I swear for your kiss,
The one midnight raven,
Keeping me in bliss,
I shall carry on a fool
To make his eyes fall in love,
Combat with the goddess,
A diamond in the rough,
But what strength can sway
Your fair hand to my arms?
Little I am sure
But a verity is in balms,
The locks you possess
Keep my heart sure enchanted,
Your eyes are the remedy,
Taken for granted,
That lotus bud blooms
A deep rose gold,
Your placement is tender,
Your story stays untold,
It is impossible to keep you,
A birds wings chained,
Try as I might to test you
I am the one who remains tamed,
As your father was no surgeon
Perplexed I sigh,
For how did he take cinnabar and
Place it in your eyes,
Toxic yet a beauty,
Take my hand and cry,
Say you're nothing special
But those cheeks blush with pride,
A fallen angel indeed,
Scared for my own life
Your hands as smooth as gin
Your tongue as soft as a knife,
Kept away from humanity
As if a psychopaths answer,
Truth is you're a remedy,
who died a vengeful martyr,
I'm aware you'll drift away,
Back into the moons shine,
Up above those clouds
You are too precious to be mine,
So as I count down the days,
Until I lose that lavender gaze,
My mind becomes a blur,
An incomprehensible haze,
I've accepted that you've gone,
But you say I can join too,
So I've built the tallest building
And I'll try fly just for you,
An ancient, forbidden love

Aşk

The syllables you spit do not walk hand in hand
with the words in your heart.

The pain tears my soul when I see you,
Ill love you till death do us part.

Watchmaker

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

Tossed our love on a hearse

Confection
Orchid Mar 2020
So strange yet wonderful, a dark life we all lead
she spent most of hers perched with a vase full of mead

Fills the crystal up, tis poison to the rim
a paroxysm of choler burnt away with a hymn.

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

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.

Caustic

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

With fine, fine fingers
Each flare in your iris shall agree

What you are
Convinced my eyes have been deceived

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.

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.

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

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.
