The Gift

you are the gift
of the harvest moon
the elixir of delicate pleasure
glowing in my psyche
like the new dawn
to match
my colourful dreams
in the hour
of solitude
you shine
like the light of destiny
like the sublime moons of Saturn
flowing with
the living
waters of life
and energy divine
this glorious moment
your golden touch
lightens the mood
fuelling my longing
smoothing
the jagged edge
of life in exile
as the
flaming petals of desire
warm my heart
with divine metaphors
showering me
with the radiant blossoms of the mind
