Sun Rise

Pulsed waves curve around my gravity,
lambent travelogue, return to me,
speak dimensions of enlightened immortality.

Man-manipulated mesmerising illusions in light
relieve and release this city's sullen sadness,
in precocious, tinted, radiating frequencies,
reflected on sandstone and billboards
of coral reef rose.

You bring
vibrating vivid choral swell
to harmonise fresh morning's sensual

shining orgy.

Hues that hint of a whole world
yet unseen, guessed
through other eyes, other lives,

seducing me; shaping muted hope
in minds violet shadows, to feel
warm, rich, redolent earth in other
lands beneath my feet, crumbled in my palms
one day.
