Tasting the Divine

after the long years
of this painful life
and the vicissitudes
of the moment
the new moon descends
upon me
like
a maiden
from heaven
weaving a cocktail
of powerful dreams
in a world of wonder
transforming
my future
as the tide turns
i taste
the divine
light of reason
at the
greatest moment of desire

Endless Drama

immersed in the endless
drama of life
in the migrant universe
i find you
in the tender moment
under the naked tree of Findon
i watch as you enter my poem
like an angel on heat
feeding my longing
touching
the spiritual heart of love
as the rainbow lorikeet sings
you open the windows
of my being
enriching
my life forever
in the scented lane of solitude

New Dawn

i rise like the gentle wave
in the nick of time
carrying the code of destiny
and finding your beauty
now, as the earth moves,
you sing to me softly
nourishing my body
with a touch of wonder
and boundless energy
you light the flame
with glee
feeding my naked soul
with the gift of love divine
you put a smile
on my face
as the spring dances in my orbit
i follow the fragrant
dawn
of time
the invaluable force
that moves me
in the timeless Land of Oz

Light Years

a million light years from home
i walk through the Milky Way
like a soul possessed
longing for you across the silver sea
tasting your
divine nectar
under
the moonlight
i devour the forbidden fruit
with glee
trembling and asking for more
you smile
like an angel on heat
warming my heart
in the moist hour
at the
dawn of time
you share
the divine secrets
of survival
on the edge of infinity
a place
of eternal love
and perfect peace

Back to the Future

a life transformed
in the first light of dawn
i extract poetry from
the maze of loneliness
and hope
as the rainbow lorikeet sings

i seize the day
going back to the future
with pride
i rise early for a stroll
along the scented lane
in Terra Australis
soaking up the sun
and thinking of you

the white cloud
spreads its wings
over my naked soul
like the love bird of the realm
touching my heart
in mysterious ways

The Golden Key

driven by the mighty force
of will in the defining moment
i step back from the abyss
holding the golden key of destiny
the key
that opens all doors
as the spring blossom dances
in my orbit
you warm my heart with glee
injecting the divine pleasure
into me at the nick of time
i taste your essence
with lips of fire
my eyes begin to see clearly
for the first time in years
giving me more than
a billion reasons
to smile even in the worst of times

Fragments of Hope

in the spaces between dreams and reality
i find the lustful moon
under the tree of life
melting into her beauty as the earth moves

i bask in the spirit
of the moment
savouring the dream
in the first light of dawn

i devour the endless gift
of desire
as fortune
dances in the background

i create the future
with the divine fragments of hope
opening the mind of time
in the scented temple of ambition

Springtime

springtime Down Under
cherry blossoms
filling my heart with joy

Heart of Wonder

like the lonely heart seeking enlightenment
in the Milky Way, i unlock the mysteries
of survival in the migrant universe

with heightened sense of awareness
i embrace the new paradigm
of living in the sublime moment of desire

you guide me through the garden
of wonder; bringing
the divine sweetness to my lips

i arrive with boundless energy and a pocket
full of dreams sheltering from the harshness
of reality and longing for you

i listen to your sweet voice of desire
revelling in love, fun and laughter
as the stars light up the sky
in the galaxy of complex dreams
i find the missing link

you harness the moment with a drop of honey
with swirling rhythm and harmony
enriching my soul forever

i bathe in the eternal beauty of your essence
under the antipodean sun
where fortune and tragedy cohere
opening my eyes to the naked reality of existence
and energizing my soul in the pursuit of dreams

love blossoms under the rose petals
as i devour the divine fruit of the heart
two single atoms
become one in the spring of life
feeding my longing in the defining moment of clarity
