An Orchid

warm whiffs embrace,
  ardent blaze;
    flickering flame
      awakes an ache.

tame harmony,
  into romantic lust,
    burst orchid fragrance
      in darken moment,

amid midnight twilight.
 passion sound
    roaring thunder
      within, warm cinders

soothe budding moment.
  like there’s no tomorrow.
    silence gently fades
      breathless in cascade release.
