Springtime

you are the sweet spring
of life
in full bloom
wholesome and pure
like the breast
of the desert moon
like the daughter
of dreaming
kissing
my soul
with sparks

sensing my hunger
you come to me in the moist hour
poetry blossoms in earnest
spreading intimacy
and putting a song on my lips

love particles speak to me sweetly
feeding
my
longing forever

you touch
my heart with love divine
seducing my senses

the alchemy of desire…
how wonderful is your essence
the magic
fragrance of spring foretold

i wrap myself
in your sweetness
devouring
the luminous beauty
where
the invisible love grows
