My Journey

in my journey from Innocence
to Experience
under the yellow moon
i feel the flaming hand of love
the surge of life within
as i search for the wondrous
springs of time
two souls blend
in perfect harmony
i discover
the hidden wonder
of heaven’s fields at the foot
of the rainbow
i can feel the spark of your essence
the divine seed of light
that enriches my soul
liberating my consciousness
i fall into the new state of loving grace
turning my journey into positive energy
living the good life
by adapting to the shape of the wind
and finding fulfilment
in a world of infinite potentiality
and now, i bathe in your natural
beauty in the hot and flaming heart of desire
i find the centre
of my being
and access its power
as you hover
over my thoughts and feelings
eavesdropping
on my yearnings
i become smitten by the naked universe
of shadows – a dreamlike world
of silence and stillness
of beauty and endless joy
a world beyond good and evil
brimming with
the promise of endless love and freedom

A Summer of Shadows

the crying genius in my orbit
how wonderful
is the emotional power of tears?

i feel the rhythm of your
heartbeat
this hour of delight

the moon dazzles
smiling at me
as i jump into the future
at the crack of dawn
casting shadow on life
in the delicate
fringes of reason

life blossoms
in earnest
colouring my dreams

behold the deluge
of naked love particles
in my visual field
swollen with desire
chasing shadows
in the luminous
landscape of wonder

you transform the magic
flower of dawn
one petal at a time

you brighten my days with
edible beauty
the sound of hidden treasure

Dream of the New Dawn

i walk gently into
the new dawn
with a list of vivid dreams
connecting
the growing crystals of time
with my inner
thoughts and emotions
feasting
on the divine loaf
of light
under the shower
of love particles
my luck begins to change
as the sweet smile of new love
shines
through my veins
energising my soul
you anoint my body with
the living
fragrance
of promise
inspiring me
to the dizzying heights
of dreaming
a strange hand opens the luminous door for me
in the moist hour
blessing my soul
filling me with the joyful songs of destiny
as i break the colourful cloud
in silence
i yearn for wisdom
in a world of reason and energy and dark matter
rising to the heart of the beloved
how wonderful
is the sweet tension
in the new
dawn of awareness?

Sharing the Moment

joyful days in the suburbia
the sound
of funky Christmas

yummy poetry comes alive under
the gum tree
i learn the meaning of life

i recapture the magic of sharing
and laughter
this glorious day

i become my brother’s keeper
nurturing the dream
in the school of hard knocks

i share the love and festive
spirit
under the poetic sun

i sing Aussie like a soul
possessed
capturing the moment

life blossoms in earnest
like the
little beauty next door

Festive Cheer

the bloom of desire
in Findon
summer’s beautiful light

haiku works its magic
awakening
the songbird of the heart

festive cheer
i drink a cup of you with
flaming lips

you fill my heart with
longing
the scent of jasmine

divine poetry
dances in the wind
summer chic

a gift for every child…
how wonderful
is the golden feast of the imagination

a new voice in the hood
the image
of a gentle light made of steel

Between Two Worlds

summertime
in utopia
i spread
my wings
between
two worlds
feeding the dream
and soothing
the lonely hearts
in silence
i see
the moon
in action sublime
as i taste
the divine love
that dances
in my veins
this glorious night
i savour
the inner beauty
of your essence
basking in the magic fragrance
of wonder
all through
the night

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
