There was a time loneliness was my master; a master who always controlled me
Then miraculously you came along and took me far away from my loneliness
Since that wonderful day - my life was set free; removing itself from its terrible isolation
My Orchid Lady blossomed in my heart and has become the rarest flower of them all.
Though not fully known; China's countryside has the rarest species of flowers on earth.......
....Perhaps so but China does not possess you - the most beautiful of all flowers
In my heart I know as each day passes you will blossom with even more rarity and beauty
Sweetheart, these are not just words - I choose them very carefully and with truth.
Whenever the weight of the world sits on my shoulders you appear and banish my fears
The timeless sonnets of countless poets have never borne justice to your love and graciousness
Like others I would fail should I even try to put pen to paper to describe your worth to me
Orchid Lady I do know if you weren't here with me today my life would be the poorer for it.
Each time I listen to your voice and the words you use, I feel my heart reaching out for you
It is as though everything else is made to wait until my heart fills itself with your tenderness
In truth my love; on most occasions your voice causes a tear to run slowly down my face
Then, when you are gone, even to work, I feel so lonely as you mean my very existence.
No matter how many poems I write for you or how many words I use to convey my love.......
....I feel each word inadequately expresses the pride my heart communicates to you
Should I falter, somehow I sense your hands over mine then again words begin to flow more freely
It is at this point I know we are together in love and a smile of satisfaction creeps over my face.
