In The Garden Of Orchids
Under whisperings of my heart
I lay in the hope of love
The imprint of him still carving up my thighs
In breathless whispers
fingers tracing shadows on the outline of my hips
Back arched against his chest
His breath burning reveries down my spine
as he kissed me again
& always
for the first time
I lay in the hope of love
The imprint of him still carving up my thighs
In breathless whispers
fingers tracing shadows on the outline of my hips
Back arched against his chest
His breath burning reveries down my spine
as he kissed me again
& always
for the first time

This poem has a lovely luminous quality to it. A lot of poems describing the yearnings of a lover often have melancholy tones, but this poem is positively glowing. Maybe this is because you end the poem on a high - a romantic memoir, rather than a feeling of despair.
This poem feels like a heady, wistful dream with images of summer gardens and intoxicating romance.

I looked up Orchids and their symbolism after reading this and being moved so. I came up with this:
"The orchid's name derives from the Greek word "orchis," meaning "testicle." Its history is associated with lust, greed, and wealth."
"The paphiopedilum orchid was named for Phaphos, a temple on Cyprus where the love goddess Aphrodite was worshiped."
There are other facts that all point to the orchid being a plant reknown for its influence over virility. It is also mentioned in numerous places of the orchid's resemblence to a vagina. I've always been drawn to symbolism as I've seen it dominate most of my favorite pieces. This is no exception. Wonderfully done.
