the sweet scent
of the golden leaf...
autumn wiles

you paint my fertile
crescent with your kisses
frisky muse

you water my "Lawn"
even without a helping hand
this glorious day

in a blaze of color
i sow the sacred seeds in style...
luscious moon

my heart throbs
under the glow of your essence
laughing eyes (of love)

behold the mystical
haiku written with the joyful
tears of the soul

living the dream...
flushes of scented flowers
after the rain

you lead the way
with great delight; opening...
the pearly gates (of Desire)

Hmmm. This is the first of your poems that I have read. The nature imagery is gorgeous (It's nice to think of your turning leaves as we have spring), and I love the high-spirited play of this poem.

I didn't understand the lawn metaphor, but that might be because I don't know the gender of the beloved. It seems that the beloved could be either God or a human, but then, that is true of many love poems.

I look forward to more!
