Haiku Rain

the golden wattle blossoms
filling my
emptiness with dreams

fresh face
in the ‘hood…the scent of
jasmine on my pillow

haiku rain…
nourishing the naked trees
of Findon in silence

your sweetness runs through
my veins
like the gift of life

little nuns of delight
in my visual field, how delicious is
the taste of your lollipop

love bites…
savouring the blissful moment
under the rose petals
