The Heart of Passion

seduced by the sacred alchemy
of desire
in the realm of bliss
i fly
like the lost boy
on the wings of wonder
finding
a new lease on life
i capture
the purity of your essence
under the vivid moon
i seek
the new frontiers
of reason
in the moment of clarity
i dwell
in the heart of passion
endlessly yearning
for you
my love
the keeper of the flame divine
now we flow into each other
like the gentle rivers of time
like the tender souls full of grace
holding
up the sky
under
the joyous petals of the night

The Womb of Dreams

growing
in the womb of dreams
i spring into action
in the nick of time
wearing the moon
i paint the realm
with love particles
in the sweetest day
of my life
i open the doors of perception
seeing clearly
for the first time
and feeling your heartbeat
at every turn
i look deeply into
the galaxies of the mind
playing with adversity
finding the pathway
to the golden pond of desire
my dreams become reality
as i fly
like
an eagle
savouring the moment
with the beloved

The Restless Spirit

the restless spirit
in the heart of Dreaming
sowing
the seeds
of progress
in the migrant universe
of desire
you dress in irresistible
garment of light
finding the Way as the clock ticks
you seize the moment
as life twists
and turns
amid the stillness
you capture
the creative force
in the crack of dawn
moulding an edible future
in the spaces
between dreams

The Golden Wattle

You flash your hidden
beauty in the cool light of spring
tempting me
to your tangled web of sweetness

you’re my divine flame of destiny
my sweet petals of desire
scented with passion
under the antipodean sun

you're my dream of dreams
the living flower
of choice
in my endless journey

your magic fragrance beams
through my soul
in a blaze of colour
in the defining moment of need

the intense aroma of your essence
comes to the rescue
as my heart beats for you
in the greatest hour of  desire

you mend the broken hearts
as the earth moves
changing the rhythm of life
under the flowering moon

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
