Love Blossoms

from refugee

to citizen in fancy clothing…

waltzing like a hero

true love blossoms

like the spring flower of wonder

like the golden light of dawn

we wrestle (you and I)

with the gentle waves of passion

seizing the moment

you burn my lips

with the flame of love divine

purifying my soul

i jump over

the naked moon in the nick of time

sowing the seeds of destiny

you quiver

in ecstasy; kissing & yearning…

scarlet lips dripping with honey

two souls become one

in the defining moment; giving form to chaos

this precious day

i bathe in the splendour of your

inner beauty; thriving on the intoxicating

fragrance of your essence,
