Chant of the Lonely Heart

drawn to the colourful image
of the dreamtime
my heart leaps for joy
as the spring dances
in the wind before dawn

i find myself
in Findon like a speck of light
in the shadows
giving solace to the soul
under the rose petals
drinking a nice
cup of you
in full view of Venus
this
fleeting moment

i bond with
your essence
divine
in the precious
moment of solitude
revealing the great mystery
of life
as your loving heat
warms my lonely heart
under
the dreaming sky

i sing your name
with flaming lips of desire
over
the waxing moon
opening a new frontier of reason
opening a new window
of opportunity
garnished with your
magic fragrance
