The dolphin dances

To the rhythm of the sea…

Autumn moon

Sailing into

A beautiful dream…

I wish

You were here with me

Little sparrow

Behold

The elixir of youth…

The secret

Antipodean magic potion

Flavoured with laughter

The adventure of the

Wandering moon brings a big

Smile to my lips

The songbird

In her element; painting

My shadow

With bright stars along

The Milky Way

The sun

Keeps shining through…

Your

Sensitive joyful lips

Oh golden diva

Antipodean I see that this is a very popular word and so many phrases repeat themselves throughout your verse-- a little tweak maybe?

Your use of nature to paint romantic imagery is magnificent.
I wonder why you did not say seas in the second line of the first stanza?
