Seeds of the Fragrant Moon

you create
the monuments
of meaning
and beauty
in the playground
of the divine
as my heart beats for you
in the moist hour

i feel the warmth
of your trembling flesh
in the garden of dreams
where the random
droplets of love fall
like the shadows of beauty
like the sweet petals of glory
soothing my heart

you enrich my soul
with the light of your inner beauty
sowing the mysterious
seeds of passion
in the secret places of the heart
under
the fragrant moon
this winter’s night
