Orchid

[lupestripe]

The pallid kiss of springtime snow
Upon the skin of purity
That decays within the autumn mist
And dissolves into serenity
A breeze so soft on tender cheeks
In love caress a lonely heart
To guide to sleep in angel lilt
A comfort lost in your depart

A lark so soft on Heaven's breeze
An angel's song to warm my soul
In the requiem of candlelight
Beneath the Moon's albescent glow

A hurricane within your azure lips
That haunts within your torpid eyes
And drowns me in a sanguine wave
A budding rose of sweet desire
A fragile hope to fade away
Amidst the dust of fallen clouds
To silence all the flagrant stars
That gasp within its bitter shroud

An embrace so soft to be absorbed
In the lonely air of company
As bitter tears tear down my face
To cast the pain of memory
Yet devotion wrapped in warm cocoon
Gives birth to graceful butterflies
To catch the breeze in summer dance
And fill the heart with lullabies
