Black Orchid


So empty,
like the life
that ends

When leaves come down,
They' ll rot away
So begins the end
Consternation
Hindsight only the shadow
in profound sadness,
effigy of me

Just look at the flowers,
they all have died
Seek the last inflorescence
So shall I

Pick up the orchid,
the black one and only
Now crown me with that,
and bless me goodbye

Now pick up the orchid,
the black one and only
Crown me with that,
please bless me goodbye

I don't remember of me living
What creature may have more pain?
I exist only in darkness,
so alone on autumn nights

Now pick up the orchid,
the black one and only
Crown me with that,
please bless me
So empty,
like the life that ends
