Usually I just post something about the magazine, and I often forget I am a writer/poet too!! :) Here's one of my most recent.....
" Silencing the Orchids"
In the silence of the all consuming midnight hours
Insecure obsessions abuse my thoughts
His breath the only other sound
Softly reminds me of time spent apart
The passion of love loses itself to art
The arrogance of creation slowing inching its way in
Quietly severing vows made in the garden Lavender orchids begin to wilt
Slowly dying of thirst Their parched mouths scream
Heard by listening carefully in the darkest hour
Deafening my ears with their high pitched wail
I search for a waterfall in the desert
To pour the life back in
Saving them from their slow and painful demise
Still they appear ever so beautiful
Dancing in summer wind
Gently caressing their royal color with hope
My tears flow to the surface Drenching their roots
Blooming into the unparalleled wisdom of age
They are eternal Showcasing the immortality of love
Found within his kisses Back in the garden
We walk hand and hand To the house of flowers
