I guess sometimes we come to the saddest realisation

Nothing lasts
Orchid Sep 2024
All I know is to run
And chase
Lay idle and glum
Invoke pity
In which I am known to succumb
My attention is glazed
To the onlookers hum
Yet where is my friend?
My gold-haired chum

"He's gone"
Unfound
My heart is a drum
Left beaten
I yell amongst the onlookers shun
"He'll return"
I lie
To indulge in the numb
Night rattled my mind
So I'll wait for the sun
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 Oct 2024
I just don’t want to lose him

“My darling I know,
And your love is beautiful as it buds
As it grows
But for every Rose that spouts
From the ground
There’s a million thorns
You must bear
As a crown”
Orchid Oct 2024
“And he loves you”

For now
He can’t see what I see
Impatient
Irresponsible
No man’s dream
I hold guilt
As if though I have conned
And deceived
A man to waste his time
On a woman like me

“A woman like you?
I cannot abide
You to sit here
And fall to this
Greying demise
Stand up,
Rise
Do you see what you are?
You are smart and beautiful
Your eyes hold stars
The cliche I know
But I mean what I say
You are more than a man
You are more than “okay”
You are loving
Kind
Loyal
But why
Won’t you see what I see
Love has made you blind”
Orchid Aug 2024
I don’t like who I am anymore.
She said it best, she asked me

“What’s wrong with you? You know that this isn’t normal?”

And she’s right. Maybe she’s always been right.

It’s as if someone has harshly pulled back the curtains on a particularly sunny day, I see everything, and nothing has terrified me more.


The knowledge, that I try skirting around for the moment I touch it, it becomes my truth

And what a dark, dark truth to have.

I have an answer to most people’s questions but my own baffle me.

I baffle me

And I’m lost

And God knows I don’t have the fight in me to find myself,
So I’ll exist as though a shadow
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.
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.
Orchid Mar 2020
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.
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
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 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
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
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
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?
Orchid Mar 2020
An artist crafted you
With fine, fine fingers
Each flare in your iris shall agree

I struggle to acknowledge
What you are
Convinced my eyes have been deceived
He was Bewitching
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
Orchid Jun 2020
Spent days of rebellion on the shore
Coaxing the libidinous village shuckers,
Exiled as a **** on a raft chuckling
"Carpe Diem *******!"
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
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
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.
Orchid Dec 2023
Let the moon bring light to your fears,
Let the ocean dry your tears.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
Orchid Jan 2024
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
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
Orchid Aug 2023
I can’t gaze in your direction
With enough adoration
So I’ll sit here and contemplate
My solitary damnation
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.
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
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
Orchid Oct 2023
I wanted to collect the essence of your gaze
For in those infinite timelines
Maybe you’d have stayed
Orchid Apr 2020
Emptied his stomach
Bloodless puncture in his breastplate
Breath lost before victory
Could be muttered in checkmate
Orchid Jun 2021
"A jar of honey has never hurt anyone"




                                                         …                                                  




                                                                          Tell that to the guy who's
                                                                      manhood got stuck in one.
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.
Orchid Jul 2021
As two hearts would embrace
Two worlds would collide
"My darling I am yours,
And you are simply,
Divine."
Orchid Sep 2019
The poor shall marvel as the rich will pity,

There is only room for one man in the immigrants city
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.
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.
Orchid Mar 2021
Roaming the plane soulless spiting rights, spitting facts

Exhausting public eyes whilst rendering a tax.
Orchid Jan 2020
If it was what your heart desired,
I would ****** the sun from the skies,
Place it inside your arms,
Unbeknownst to my sightless eyes,

I would catch the gleams of the moon,
That bounce off the darkest shadows
Steal the beauty of man
And listen to the wolves harrow,

I would strike a match in a second,
Burn the world in the hottest of fires,
Gather the essence of what was left,
If it was what your heart desired.
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 Apr 2021
"My deranged indulgence
Take me away
Back to the jail I sat
waiting,
on Mother's Day."
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.
Orchid May 2019
Up I stay,
Till the moons full in bloom,

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