This poem is for you my beautiful Orchid Lady -
- the words I couch for you come from my heart which beats for you
There is not one moment of any day I ever regret meeting you; how could I?
I remember so well when my World stopped revolving and helped me to find you again.
On that day I was feeling very ordinary so I went out to the market place
To be honest, I went to the market place to see if I could see you among the crowd
You see my Deja vu Orchid - I knew some day you would be there somewhere -
- and not one day has lived through twenty four hours where I have stopped looking for you.
Love is an enigma as it holds so many differing meanings for millions of lonely people
Even as a young man my thoughts kept impressing upon me that out there -
- an Orchid would come back into my life and the moment I saw her I would smile
Not only would I smile; I would breathe a sigh of joyful relief and run to your side.
Sweetheart, when our eyes met it wasn't the simplicity of love at first sight -
- it was the return of a love we had shared in some part of a distant fog shrouded past
Now I understand why the sun had opened its sleepy eyes and shined down upon us -
- that sun had remembered us too and sent down its golden rays to bring us back together.
Perhaps we don't look the same or talk the same, but inside we haven't changed
Orchid Lady, I never wish to lose you again for you are everything I will ever require
Throughout history no author has ever put pen to paper and written words giving you justice
Should I try; inks would dry up or modern day pens simply fail and run out of their liquids.
To hold your hands in mine makes me feel as though we are exchanging the pure magic of love
I can feel your heart reaching into mine where they too remain deeply joined in a special harmony
Your beautiful hazel-green eyes look deeply into mine and I can feel those lost years returning
Sweetheart, I couldn't even try to tell you why we were parted so long ago, but we are together again.
I am so glad you share our Never, Never Land with me and its beautiful people and wonder
In this land we can turn off the ugliness of present day living and live life as we were meant to
If this World were again to stop revolving for a moment and everything became strangely stilled
We would be together; in love; and we would never lose each other again - never my Orchid.
You see, the World that stopped to bring us back together would keep us together.
