Black Orchid

Black Orchid

I am natural beauty, I am to die for

I conform to the requirements of rich and poor

I am versatile and never discriminate

I heal the hurt of those in pain

I chant spells to spice up sexual games

I blind the truth of relationships in decay

Even domestic violence won’t seem that bad

Hence, young and old cherish me

I can make the shy do crazy things

My magic power satisfies their needs

Of their weaknesses I feed

I live in the lost essence of those in search of shallow happiness

Fools believe that my vines are not enticing

So I wait, I know better

Heartache, dissatisfaction and distress

They will soon reach out for my helping hand

My desiccating potion they will drink

As of now their lives belong to me

Their brains show no sanity

Their souls intoxicated with vanity 

A dazzling reflection in the mirror they see

Whereas their appearance reveals their ill

I deal my cards face up

Who will gamble?
