Virgin Orchid
The openness of youth
Open.
An orchid opening, shining for all.
Seeing everything as New. For the first time.
Dripping off the waters of a fresh mountain rain.
Breathing in the rays, feeling the heat.
Knowing the world. letting go of old knowledge.
Enchanted, a spirit fleeting across the heavens.
Going towards the unknown. Everywhere.
Everything is a maze, a dream, a fantasy!
Feeling the life out of the air. Open.
Wanting more, but no less. The universe.
The spirit chasing the children.
Understanding them as they are. Perfect.
No misconceptions. Damn the prejudices.
To be forever youthful. With wisdom.
Beyond the edges. Beyond the symbols. Past.
Greater than any man or woman could ever be.
A bird, no, a dear, what's inside.
Beneath. Away from Heaven and Hell. Earth.
The devil's bastard, God's infant, all in one.
Love, burning, wilting, melting together.
Soaring across the sky. Corrupting.
Wanting. Urning. Seeing- believing. You.
Closing, forgetting. Decided, it's all gone.
Forever it will be over. Bing blinded by Life.
Damn the openness of youth, the willingness.
One way, all the way. No way, anyway.
The dying of a spirit. Of a life. Doomed.
Self destruction of the soul. Falling out.
Tears of Blood. Flowing. No sight or life.
The closing of an orchid, forgetting all.
Closed.
