Seeds of Love

 

the flurry

of love particles

in my

visual field

warming my heart

over the crescent moon

your tender body purrs

trembling

like the golden star

as i enter you

i devour your beauty with glee

as apple blossoms

we melt into each other

shooting

like the rising star

sharing

the great fruit of desire in absolute bliss

you swoon like the nude angel

in the divine cosmos within

you stir my humble heart

with everlasting love at

the crack of dawn

in Cupidon

where the Cupid was born

The Vision of the Moment

 

 

the subtle fragrance of reason

fills the air

as the earth moves

with absolute thought and passion

facilitating the harmonious

relationship between atoms

in the chain of love

you bless my days

with the divine fruit of knowledge

the knowledge that opens all doors

you light the flame

that warms my lonely heart

in the hour of need

you enrich my soul

with the divine power

of sweetness

the power

of fun and laughter foretold

filling my orbit with

the inner beauty of your essence

now, i find my way in life

as never before

and i find my insatiable longing

for you in the moment of sumptuous desire

producing a certain sensation

of awareness in my veins

apple blossoms

The Moving Thread of Light

 

 

you sit

like a soul deprived

like a jewel in the rock of times

nursing the fragile hope

of survival in the

moving thread of light

you witness

the world as it is

bathing in the light

of the moment 

you think of the pain

and pleasure of living

under

the antipodean sun

as fortune weaves its magic

at the crack of dawn

Venus in my Orbit

 

 

Venus dances in my orbit

turning on the light

as the earth moves

you weave colourful dreams

in silence

filling my heart

with love

and desire

Secret Places of the Heart

 

 

a life transformed

as the spring flower blooms

like the force

of nature

after the sombre

nights of Covid

i search for the silver lining

finding your essence

tasting the

hidden sweetness that transforms my life

at the crack of dawn

i fall into other worlds with glee

and other worlds

fall into me with endless desire

i cross the swollen river of time

under the glowing

light of the sun

the radiant flower

of love divine

transcending space

and time

i find solace

in the secret  places of the heart

bathing in the glory of the moment

The Inner Light

the bright light

dances in my orbit

like the frisky moon

like the bride of spirit

warming my heart

in the depth of winter

i devour

the spring of life

with gusto

unlocking the kernel of desire

as the earth moves

i enrich my soul

in your presence as two hearts meet

melting into oneness

i feed the flame

in the nick of time

i gather the minute fragments

of hope in absolute silence

wrestling with complex emotions

now the little bird sings

of the inner light

of reason and endless desire

turning my life around

as the bright new dawn beckons

in the stirring winds of change

Ode to Autumn

the golden wattle dances

in the warm glow

of the autumn sun

feeding my longing

in the light-filled gallery of wonder

you change the inner rhythm

of life in so many ways

gradually stripping off

the fragile armour of reality

as COVID-19 strikes

with a vengeance

bringing hearts and minds

into sharp focus

i watch as autumn weaves its magic

framed by passion

the fallen leaf rises again

the glory pea sings the day

capturing the autumn vibes

and opening the door to the future

as autumn casts its golden snare

meanwhile, the bee and the butterfly

fight for the lustful flowers of the realm

savouring the little drops of nectar

in the shade of eucalypts:

the naked thrust of ambition laid bare

in the glare

of antipodean dawn

finally, the wandering autumn

shines its golden

light on the lonely tree of Findon

changing its appearance

and its texture

its colour and shape

and everything that is to come

in this world of sweetness and light

The Changing Face of COVID-19

beyond destiny

the changing face

of COVID-19 in my

visual field

the sting

of the coronavirus pandemic

under the rising sun

Waiting for Dawn

ready to conquer the world

at the slightest

moment

the COVID-19 falls from

the tower of doom

hitting the ground

with deadly force

and wheezing

like a miserable ghost

as i punch it

in the eye

crushing its evil body under

the fading flower

i alter its form and shape

and the genetic composition of the disease

along the way

i find the cure

to the coronavirus menace

at dawn

saving humanity
from the pandemic

with deafening roar

under the autumn sun

Love and Poetry Blossom

the star of doom

adorns the mysterious crown

of COVID-19

a crown of sickness and pain

designed by the moving atoms

of death

at the crack of dawn

amid the gloom

a vile infection

makes its presence felt

threatening catastrophe

upon the land

and running amok

over the weak and the defenceless

and now the evil wind

of the coronavirus pandemic

blows through the realm

like a carriage of ghosts

ravishing the great

city of dreams

in autumn silence

yet there is a glimmer of light

at the end of the tunnel

a rising sense of hope

in the darkest moment

as love and poetry blossom in earnest  

we flatten the curve

in the nick of time

sharing the love

the spark of life within

The Lion in the Room

the COVID-19 roars

like the lion in the room

like an invisible enemy

on the move

terrorising the neighbourhood

you spread fear

and germs at random

disrupting the dream

in so many ways

yet, in our solitude, we still

love, suffer and yearn

for the new dawn

in all its manifestations

cracking

the coronavirus code

with glee

and saving the world

Days of Coronavirus

beyond the boundaries

we support each other

in the moment of grief

as coronavirus ravaged the land

these painful days

The Ghost of COVID-19

the ghost of coronavirus  

rears its ugly head in the ‘hood

wielding its poisonous sword

like the blood-sucking monster

in the dead of night

The Divine Moment

i master the art

of the moment

in your

divine

presence

seizing the

opportunity with glee

Cosmic Dust

i am the cosmic dust

in motion

turning on the light

shining bright

as the heaven stirs

i sing

like the wind

across the hills of desire

tasting

your essence

as apple blossoms

Reaching for the Stars

i reach for the stars

in silence

opening the door

to heaven with glee

gone are the days

of pain and anguish

Seeds of Desire

escape to Terra Australis

i sow the seeds

of desire in the magical land

of fun and frolic

apple blossoms

The Summer of Fires

after the devastating fires

of recent days

emotions run high

as you fight

the hungry flames of wrath

the burn-out ruins

of life immense

i rise early like the glorious dawn

fighting 

the fire 

of time

watching as the lightning strikes

and the poor kangaroo runs for cover

even the rainbow lorikeet prays

for rain in the greatest hour of need

the koala bear licks 

its wounds

asking 

for mercy

in the fiery 

breath of summer

the future dances

in the wind

wiping away my tears

meanwhile 

a flurry of ash particles 

blankets the sun
and days turn
into night as the voracious fire

winds its way

around the meadows

ravishing my dream in the summer field

© Lawrence T. Udo-Ekpo

New Spark of Life

i find

the true north

 of my being

in the migrant universe

of the mind

as your light shines  on me

a river of love

runs through

my veins

blessing my days
finding a new spark of life

in this

season of wonder

there is

a scent of hope divine

a gesture of love

and good cheer

as the earth moves
