Eye of the Beholder

the secret
river of love flows
ever so gently
under the watchful
eye of the beholder

cherry blossom...
weaving the wreath
of desire
with the first taste
of the nectar

the rise
of the fecund moon
foretold...
the image of the spring
flower drunk with love

your red lips
speak softly of "us" as
i explore
the mystic fruit of your
essence with lustful eyes

a brush with
the intense passion of your
ways sublime...
spirited away by the sacred
poetry of desire

you turn up
the heat with your
magic touch
just like the frisky suns
of the summer past

finally, you lift
the veil and whisper love
(ever so tenderly)...
clearing the path to inner peace
with a spoonful of dreams

Over the Rainbow

the rhythmic
throb of your golden heart
of hearts revealed…
a passionate journey
over the rainbow

sing to me, egret…
the sweet songs of summer
soaked in love

you dance lightly
on the rose petal of my dreams
seeing beauty
in the inner sanctum
of my being

the ecstasy
of the gentle breeze profound…
radiance of the soul

with the exotic
heat, you capture the rarest
essence of desire…
the golden drop of
summer’s moon

your seductive
dance of wonder unfolds…
the miracle of being

The Secret Eden

The fecund
Poem nurtures the soul…
Remaking
The secret Eden in her
Own image

Heartbeat of the gods…
The mystery of a perfect
Smile revealed

Beyond the limits
Of freewill, you flowered
Along with the roses…
The unspoken language
Of desire ingrained

You sing
The dreamtime melody…
Golden dawn

You share
The pulse of my rib…
This precious gift
Of love in the inner garden
Of dreams

The angelic face
Of the moon in focus…
Smiling Eve

Then the quest
For the perfect stanza begins…
The Odyssey
Of the enchanted spirit
Of the realm

You seize
The glorious moment…
Cultivating
The fertile crescent of my
Soul with glee

Enduring Passion

a splash of colour
in antipodean garden…
summer lovin’

your sunny
smile now dances its way
into my
soul; unlocking the pearly
gates of desire

a redhead
with lustful eyes…
crowded house

we melt into
one gentle flow of emotion
this fateful day…
nurturing the pink flower
of the soul

sweet memory
of you - a room painted
with your kisses

you, the frisky
muse, pour great passion
into the red
heart of summer…
endless joy

the blooming rose…
yearning for the gentle touch
of the golden rays

and, then, your
joy runs into ecstasy
recapturing
the golden heritage
of rhythm and warmth

the butterfly
in her element; flash dancing
in the wind

On the Wings of Destiny

up with
the sparrows in Findon…
golden dawn

on the
wings of Destiny…
i crossed
the secret river
of time

i sat in absolute
silence, immersed in the inner
glow of your being

now, you walk
along my dreams with
lustful eyes
charmingly dressed
in vivid pink

a long kiss
in the garden of Desire…
tasting your nectar

enlightenment
in ceaseless motion…
nourishing
the mystical flower
of youth
