The Springtime of My Life

tasting the glorious Dawn
of spring, I open slowly like the fragrant
flower of wonder; revealing
the inner light of my soul

i hold her in my delicate eyes
under the green light of Eros; longing for
the first fruit of the vine; thinking
of the naked virtues of spring foretold

like love particles, I soar from
the mystic pond of time in purple splendour;
cracking the secret code of endless pleasure
in the springtime of my life

in a blaze of sound
and colour, I glide through the realm
of pure love in gleeful rapture; melting into
the immortal beauty of her essence divine

we bathe in the blue waters of life under
the overwhelming influence of love molecules;
opening the inner door of my heart;
plucking the rose in thoughtful silence

the nimble fingers of Spring
liberate my consciousness; energizing
my soul; probing into my innermost being,
in the defining moment of ecstasy

The New Dawn of Time

the new dawn of
time under the rose petals
the sound of laughter

a million buds
blossom in the meadow
this spring of Oz

scent of the morning glory…
the luminous castle of great joy built
with your kisses

seduced by the spring
of beauty, my dream wanders over
the flowering moon

like the rosella on heat,
i dance on the bed of flowers; tasting
the scarlet plum of desire

a chorus of vivid
colours under the deep blue sky…
gentle waves of delight

behold the tempting
eyes of beauty in my visual field…
how sweet is your essence?

enchanted
evenings of passion in Findon
destiny’s kitten

the songbird
sings a lovely tune; celebrating
the fecund universe of the heart
