Best Orchid Poems

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."~ Rumi

Dear Diary,

I’m a hopeless romantic, 
a sentimental sonnet
  scribbled from the 
  silent heartstrings 
of a mysterious muse....

Wild Orchid 

I found her drooping, drenched
amongst the rocks and weeds.
I stroked her moistened face and
wiped away the glistening tears.
Beneath my grazing hands 
she stirred – a glow of warmth 
spread o’er her lustrous skin:
petal by petal she bloomed.

Now slipping in peace the hues of day
Maybe this I fully know;
Above the vales, the dappled fields
Of bushy lanes and down to where
The brimful city hoofs below.

Coiled inside my roots  till all 
Of white mist were drawn.
I've twirled...

He meandered lonely
just a senior citizen
trawling the pathways of his computer,
when suddenly one day in a flash
an enchanting name jumped from the screen
into his unadjusted head,
whilst still in a daze
he had cut copied and pasted,
the delete key not an option
when sent to his favourites.
Then like...

filling the radio with words of availability
lot lizards selling their souls to diesel driving “Joe-s”
in and out of truck cabs under a weeping moon’s protection
Jane, works the night, wondering if her daddy knows

lipstick on and high heels strapped as the sun sets in May

Oh you know the type—
the orchid woman

a cosmopolitan who cosmo sips
between snips of gist
her charisma a starship —collides
with your star-full eyes
supernova for Casanova
her pouty lips knit a glamour-mag smile 
rows of sugar-white pearls
strung shiny straight
behind wet-red slicks of a Revlon stick
—cherry-juice bait dilates your want...

The orchid moon and I look in kind
at the dimpled ocean's
aubergine plain, meandering thought's
violet caves.  I've lost my way
in the lavender vortex 
of a tuberous begonia.

A July storm has passed.
Brackish petrichor lilts with the purr 
of surf, now jade in lilac light,
unfolding on mulberry...

As an orchid in his life,
a reflection from his strife...
He's a flower in his way
and he would say...

I am living as a poem...
choosing freedom on my own,
and the mask of God would 
speak...
Here is a clue!

From a message he would live
an adventure that would give...

Glorious hues arise from halo of morning sky
As dreamy eyes take me on a wondrous ride
Where cottony clouds scatter layers of purple
Adorning with shades of heliotrope flowers.

On my ride I visualize a celestial place on earth
Hearing fairy tales from fabled views unfolding,
And I ask my...

Nestled between two bronze columns
an orchid blooms
its fleshy petals slowly unfold
secreting honeydew on a warm velvet tongue
releasing an aromatic aroma
of wondrous ecstasy
to nurture a hungry soul, with wings

Orchid blooms in soothing light, 
New year's hope shining so bright.

Elegant petals unfold, 
As hopes and dreams take strong hold. 

Their fragrance, gentle perfume, 
Bringing joy as the year blooms.

Beauty and growth intertwined.
 
A year of promise...

Flowers have that novel effect on schism,
where the uniqueness of its design forms
compare that White Egret Orchid performs
like its namesake, chicken or the egg, ism
being afloat plume or the blooming grews.
Soggy-bottom boys and girls 'tis they want
of this bit of a ground-hugger-like haunt.

Orchid – 

Calling gently to my heart
Such beauty - delicate, exotic, graceful

Caressing my spirit
With a gentle colorful peace
Scenting the air – a sweet love breeze

A beacon of hope . . . of love
When sadness blankets my soul
When nights are long, cold and dark 
When days...
