Orchid Apr 2020
You miss your Mother’s hand
Being wedged between your thighs
Her intoxicating perfume
Labelled Arsenic trichloride

Fighting all your life
Pain began at circumcision
You spent Mother’s day sat
Awaiting visitation in prison

Needles gave a hug filled with warmth
You were deprived
The first time you said “I love you”
Was the time her breath took flight
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 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
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.
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
Orchid Mar 2020
My humanity was wrenched, torn, as he
Tossed our love on a hearse

saying

Darling
Nothing prettier than what's demanded
is allowed slurs.
Orchid May 2024
Have a go and breathe
Exist with ease
See the clouds don’t fight
They feel
They bleed
Orchid Dec 2024
For every silence I take
My breath rattles the earth
You avoid my gaze
As if I’m midst casting a curse

You weren’t turned into stone
Yet my heart weighs heavy
So I’ll lay down and sink
Into the dragons cold underbelly
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
Orchid Aug 2024
If this is how I lose you
Do it quickly, please
I cannot bear the soft silence
Let me ache in peace

If this is how I lose you
Be cruel and unkind
For any pity that you show
Adds years to my demise

If this is how I lose you
I must say goodbye
To you and to the part of me
That loved for the first time

If this is how I lose you
My anger will come
As soon as the fire of grief
Has frozen me numb.
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
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
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
Orchid Jun 2024
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
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
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.
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
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
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 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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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

— The End —
