The Sacred Dance

i spring into action
like the crazy cloud of time
like the dreamtime
poet of Oz in the luminous
vortex of desire

i ride the colourful beam
of light like the rainbow warrior on heat
painting another
layer of intimacy in the lonely
heart of the beloved

the Wild Rose
in her element; bending
the divine light
singing my name as love particles
capture the moment

infinitely
gentle words of passion
mingle with
the vivid colours of wonder
stoking the flame

the delicate
finger of the mind
finds its way
through my hungry soul under
the scarlet light of spring

the Moonflower
palace opens its inner sanctum
breaking the secret
code; enriching my life; revealing
the mystery of the universe

the fearless nuclei
and the dividing cells in the sacred
dance of creation…
warming my heart with love as
the earth moves

The First Flower of Spring

you are the beam of light

the blushing molecule of wonder

oozing desire

immersed in your inner beauty

i lie calmly like the chosen son of the realm

cherry blossoms

i plunder your divine

essence, the precious nectar of the first

flower of spring

the glorious pollen

of perfection liberates my consciousness

nourishing my humble soul

breathless

with excitement

you dance to the rhythm of the earth

you fill my pillow of

light with waves of desire; quivering like

the tender heart of spring

you wrap me

tightly with the divine petals of love

the secret language of the soul

the moon sings along the

fragrant passages as you stir my heart with

the colourful dreams of home
