On the Divine Diet of Love and Laughter


you come like an angel in the
moist hour
dancing with my spirit under the fecund moon

behold the birth of true love
amid the suffering
bold and beautiful like the rising sun

you ‘re my living flower of choice
my flame of delight
mixed with the divine diet of laughter

the heart sings of love under
the rose petals
blessing my days forever

you ‘re my bird of fortune foretold
the sweet waters
of desire flowing through my veins
