Love Poem: Jacaranda Moon

Jacaranda Moon

Jacaranda Moon

He had always been a wannabe hippie at heart
                                       been crushed though by reason and unsolicited
fear while booze was no misguided answer no more

In defeat shattered retreat advance rehabilitation
                                       Kai succumbed to steps into an unknown world

After praying to the Sun God of yogic proportions
                                        the word love flowed out scripted in Jacaranda
petals in soil underneath the tree of life and a poet
                             tree in motion of change and growth they flowered yet
unknown and unfolded from scraps of bark and design

‘This is so funny’ a fellow struggler pointed out and in
                      ‘there was a woman here some weeks ago’ a beautiful soul
who spelt the word love on the grass in same purple petals

One day adrift she appeared in now famous blue dress
                                              and like an arrow and bee to the honey he
approached the stranger whom he must have known in
                                     some previous life ‘You must be Tai and we have 
something in common’ out of the very same blue which
                                        adorned her beautiful body and beautiful mind

Against all odds they made even and love in heartfelt sense
                and all senses drawn painted and joined on the hips ever since

‘If I could I would fetch you the moon on a spoon’ and spoons 
                                scoop moons in the Universe which has become the 
greatest gift ever bestowed for soul mates and lovers in hottest
                    pursuit of Sun Goddess showering violet dreams from above

In a flash in skin on skin and memories shared they
                    eloped together guided by the moon and its many meanings

Tai and Kai are flying 'Taikaiwe' together to the stars and beyond
                                        on height and highs of love ‘Taibelle Mountain’
pushing and pulling rising and shining in serenity and passion

One day a couple of petals a present out of absolute nowhere
                          recast and transformed life’s story retold and reformed
shines lavender lilac union unimagined but real
