Seeds of Success

now, unshackle your mind
and reach for the stars
for every atom
of your being contains
the living seeds
of your own success
the fragrance of love
sealed with a kiss

drive all the negative thoughts
away from your heart
and laugh and feel the love within
and dance with
the sun as the Flower of Being sings
behind the scene with amorous air
hold your head high
and sow the seeds of love

let success be your guide
don’t just sit there
like a soul deprived
wake up (embrace the light and feel the joy)
and cultivate your mind
and take your chance by the horns
and taste the divine
beauty of your dreams

Autumn Chic

autumn in deep slumber
under the darkening sky
yet, your tenderness
whispers to
my hungry soul;
stirring desire
in my heart
showering me with the living
light of love sublime

i bathe
in your inner beauty
as cherry blossoms in earnest
a flurry
of love particles dance upon the sweetness
liberating
my consciousness
keeping my
dreams alive

Loving Touch of the Soul

i walk along
the luminous path of wonder
searching for the definitive
vision of reality
in the empire of reason
surrounded by an intimate assembly
of thinking moons;
reflecting on the sacred
spaces of dreaming
touching my heart with passion

my eyes kiss the light
as i listen in silence
feeling the power of your love
rousing the wandering
hormones of your existence
in the process
i embrace the new dawn
of dreaming like a soul possessed
like this naked duck gliding across
the surface of the pond scratching for a living

gone are
the wasted years of vanity
the naïve
world of boyhood
painted with
delightful colours of wonder
when
the universe
was young

i search for clarity
in the garden of poems
under the
magic fragrance of jasmine
yet, this tempting
moon continues to dance
on my pillow; spreading new photons of life
singing
the fecund songs
of love divine

you light
my fire with
your loving touch; stealing my heart…
i experience
rapture
in the temple of the soul
sowing the sacred seed of destiny
this glorious
night
of nights

Songs of Love

poetic stirrings
in Findon
songs of love

footprints
on the Aussie soil
the rainbow speaks of hope

the desert rose
hovers in my orbit
feeding my hungry soul…
her divine
hotness flows
through my veins
rising
like a mountain of energy
like this divine nectar on my lips
giving birth to boundless desire

inspired by the deepest
passions within my humble heart
i scale
the heights
of dreaming; longing for you
designing
an intricate tapestry of the future
garnished with the warmth of love particles
fusing
the past and present

now, I live
in blissful
contentment
holding
up the sky
tending
the hormonal flame
in full blossom
nurturing
the sweet buds of love with glee

you turn on the light
yearning
for rapture
as oestrogen captures
the moment
with a brave and roving thought
gradually
revealing your true essence
before
my naked eyes
