ORCHIDS

 

"Orchid of My Heart"

You are the orchid in my soul’s wild glade,
A bloom where light and longing braid.
Not common rose nor daisy's cheer,
But something rarer—bright, sincere.

Where others fade with morning dew,
Your petals hold the midnight true.
You speak of love not loud, but deep,
Where promises are roots that keep.

Grace in silence, strength in hue,
Your presence colors all I knew.
A symbol of a bond refined—
A love not rushed, but deeply twined.

In ancient lands, they marked desire,
A flame that grows, not built of fire.
China saw in orchids truth,
In Greece, a love that shapes our youth.

So here I stand with heart in hand,
Not to possess, but to understand—
That love, like orchids, dares to grow
Where only rarest feelings go.

Stay with me, in bloom or fall,
In hush of dusk or morning’s call.
For in your eyes, my orchid gleams—
The keeper of my deepest dreams.
