My name is Heather Mirassou and I come from America’s Oldest Winemaking Family, I have been writing poetry since I was twelve years old. My favorite poet at the time was Leo Buscaglia, who writes about love. I sent him a letter and a few of my poems and he wrote back rewarding me with a signed book of poetry and an inspirational letter. He said I was a NATURAL POET and I should continue writing poetry and learn and practice as much as I could. I will always remember his influence on my writing and my will to follow in his footsteps. The symbolic interpretation of my last name, Mirassou is: > Mirror of the soul >One who reflects within >The watcher of light >A woman who sees truth beneath the surface

Flowers – by Heather Mirassou


You come to me
like a midnight orchid,
unfurling only in shadows
where my name trembles
on the edge of your petals

Your words brush my skin,
soft as rose-silk,
dangerous as thorns.
I lean closer,
letting your breath
trace the rim of my longing
like a fingertip circling
the mouth of a lily.

You open slowly,
deliberately,
as though revealing color.
An act of devotion,
and I ache to touch
your secret garden
you guard with a whisper.

Between us,
desire rises like heat
from a field of night-blooming
flowers,
each pulse a new blossom,
each sigh a deeper shade,
until we are nothing
but two wild blooms
tangled in darkness.
