Blue Orchid

Nocturnal creature, forced to live in the daylight.  "I seem already to have lived many thousand lives." I'm a photographer, nature and animal enthusiast, bookdragon, moon dancer, craftswoman and a general artist. I'm also a practicing witch, lover of the macabre, all things dark, spooky and misunderstood; certain works of art, literature, poetry, and music inspire me. I post my own photography under the Blue Orchid Photography hashtag, but usually I'm on the reposting side.

Hey, I still exist. I don't keep up with this platform as much as I used to, although I wish I did.

For those of you who do care and still want to support my work, please consider getting me a coffee.

A foggy day in Seabeck, WA

[blue--orchid]

My tears fall mute before you—

they shatter on a heart of stone.

You walk untouched by sorrow,

a stranger to the wounds you’ve sown.

Two eyes drowned in shadow,

two flames that scorch the night—

can such fragile fire

break the fortress of your ice?

If I could tear that winter

from the silence in your chest,

I’d bury every betrayal,

let forgiveness do the rest.

You never knew my torment,

the storms beneath my skin—

the endless, nameless anguish

you left to live within.

– Blue Orchid, 2026

I love that word. Forever. I love that forever doesn’t exist, but we have a word for it anyway, and use it all the time. It’s beautiful and doomed.
