Orchid Garden Poem by Uriah Hamilton

Erotic exhibitions of enticing flesh
May yet reduce me
To a tear-stained night
Of heart-wrenching confessions:

I was overwhelmed
By the pursuit of unrelenting obsession,
Holding her hand
In the orchid garden
Patiently awaiting her sunset kiss.

Her summery dress revealed
Milk-white shoulders dripping
Into majestic fountains
Of ecstatic pleasure and happiness.

I made her promises
In the hour of desire
To abandon my marriage bed
And sacred vows
Spoken in an ancient cathedral
By the emerald sea.

How to discern
What has been born in darkness and sin
From what is indomitable destiny?
Moral choices fade
Like mist into the sunlight
When the gravitational pull
Of the most alluring planet
Draws you into her mesmerizing universe.

I’ll kiss her lips
And grow inebriated with her breasts
And leave it to heaven and hell
To ponder my fate
When I abide my time
In the non-amorous grave.
