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
