Tales of Summer Bliss


in a world of complexity and beauty
i view the fragrant moon
with lustful eyes
savouring the moment

i explore the inner secrets
of life concealed by reason
as the desert blooms
in the imagined colony of the heart

you whisper the eternal truth in my ear
revealing the secret spot of desire
you unlock the pearly gates of wonder
cheering up the soul in the age of anxiety

overwhelmed by the thrill of summer bliss
my fear subsides as the earth moves
i devour the divine metaphor
in the moment of rapture

Last Night


in the blissful night
of love and longing
under the fragrant moon
i pour myself
into you
with all my ripening heart
sharing the beauty divine
as the mystery unfolds
i discover the truth
the deeper meaning of life
in the spring of my passion

Migrant's Dawn


fascinated by the splendour
of the migrant’s glorious dawn
i drink a wonderful cup of you
in the hour of desire
warming my heart and soul
as the rainbow lorikeet sings
i begin
to see
the world differently
feeding
the senses
like the true son
of the soil
as the sun shines through my veins
i glow like an electric blue
i start a new life of wonder
a life infused with
the mighty flow of dreams
and a good dose of love particles
as i gaze into the future

Out of the Shadows


a flash of light
in the centre
of our galaxy’s heart
signalling the birth
of Desire
as the earth moves
i play in the deep shadows
of wonder
finding a new universe
of meaning
sprinkled with the deepest affections
of my life
thus, as the Dream beckons
i fly
like an eagle
in the hour of unforbidden pleasure
holding up the sky
i spend
a thousand moons of glee
searching for you
in absolute silence
losing myself in your essence
