Orchid Memory




Dark layers of tomb
surround my sunshine,
as I fade
into
the gray of you.

I wilt to shades
of orchid
shades of moss,
shades…
of gone.

as I weep
as you lay

as I weep
still, so still
you stay

Conjuring hope
in icy touch-
one kiss
one hand-fist
of dust.

as I weep
as you lay

Morning dew
gathers
to grace my eyelids.

as I weep
still, so still
you stay

Blowing wind-chilled kisses
I challenge you
to rise..
~Alas~
even I
am not so
convincing.

as I weep
as you lay

Frost bitten goodbye
on the top
of a coffin box.

Flowers of orchid memory-
and your tomb.
