A New Life on the Move


a new life on the move
rustling through the challenges
of time
at the crack of dawn
i fly
like the eagle of wonder
like the lonely heart in the moist hour
like this sensitive soul
on a mission
drawn to the intoxicating
fragrance
of hope
(as the earth moves)
transforming
the fragile patterns
of life
in the
process of becoming

On the Wings of Silence


with the blooms of destiny
i come like the cool
eyes of dawn
riding on
the wings of silence
discovering a new universe
of endless
possibilities
in the spaces between stars
i soar like the light
i glide through
the transparent walls
of desire
pining
and longing
for you
in the universe
of fragrant dreams
i find
the key
to the
warm heart of beauty sublime

Ancient Night


you bless my soul
with the magic fragrance
of your sweetness
as the heart sings of love
i open
the naked fruit of desire
in the defining
moment of passion
feeding my longing
and changing
your lonely
life for good
i settle for the soothing diet
of love
and laughter
i sink deeply
into the secret heart of poetry
tasting the dream
the sound of ancient night

The Garden of Wonder



moonlight 
in the garden of wonder
my spirit
sings
the dream
longing
for you
as the 
fragrant love blossoms
bulging 
with 
the fruit of desire
