Of two souls becoming one

A Lovely Orchid

pink and white petals
soft and velvety to touch
a lovely orchid

adorning the suit
of a young man in the prom
as a boutonniere
 
delicate flower
of exotic loveliness
growing in the wild

First Waitress

Outside, the still 
of crickets.
Inside, petals
of a cold sore 
foliate,
a boutonniere 
for full lips.
Looking up, I tell her 
two eggs, basted, 
hash browns,
coffee now.
Later on, 
she says
the birthmark
I found 
south of her navel 
she’s had 
all her life.

Longing

Your memory nearly diminished
I can only imagine you here
In this empty space before me
As I reach up to kiss your lips
And see the ache inside your eyes

Like a poem left unfinished
A wilted white rose boutonniere
Shards of a shattered vanity
Umbra of the moon’s eclipse
Or November clouds in April skies.
