fall wishes

yes. leaves do whisper.

especially those of palm trees in early fall

when the  wind finaly reachs them , on their well secured peninsula  of clouds

they whisper desert tunes, clinginng chains of  camels race

and dark eyes glimpsing from a darker vale

Olive tress  whisper in Aramaic, soft and aged  melodies of  biblical Fraze.

mumbling secrets of  ancient battles, of  same dark eyes  when they swore

to revenge  their brothers loss

almond tress like to talk quietly  too.  not  like oaks who shout their  fortune

and  citrus that giggles acidic  words. almond  trees are bitter-sweet story tellers

growing silk way tales  to a rug of  color and  magic.

I  am listening to the chestnut  fruits dropping from the tree outside my  window

and  longing to your soft whispers to my ear telling me to  keep you warm

velvet

phone encounters

a  velvet wrap holds the line

a voice that longs to a  real grip

of a hand

background noises

of falling leaves in Paris

I whisper you like a leaf

my  dialed encounter of lust

nase

I want to compose a song to your nose

a  short poem is not enough, maybe a little story

adoring words to a perfect organ

of how the Greek dream of it

and your beautiful mother made it come true

in Rome with your father who gave you his forehead.

a nose after my own heart

strong and straight and clear from every angle

staring at me between those giant eyes

asking me to breath its air

with  every nostril that proudly

shivers at my sight.

I want to write your nose memoir

to publish its trails and  adventures

to dive with him to the depth of your women.

but you ask me to focus on your mouth only

those  thin lips of a  foreign language

you crave me to kiss

but Im not aloud.

overflown

and  the river  was overflowing

with  fresh fall  water

my tears  and

your wishes

we  watched its lingering sway

with  identitical eyes

of drunken  sailors

a  blue pair and a brown pair

that grew  from the same  set  of minds

and  asked for more  words than sights

I  was clear with my needs

you rejected them with pain

we missed eachother again

on the curve  of human compassion

thin glass

A few things you didn’t know about me

I’m a healer of those who don’t want to change.

I make them realize their fortune by accepting their difference

using unethical methods of penetrating their heart with my fears.

I offer chocolate to sweeten the pain

and pure wit to dim their attention and thoughts

I ignore those who condemn my destiny

I have to live with it , not wear it as a corsage on a prom night

I am a risponsible healer tough, not making fortune from

solving the oldest question of what is happiness.

Not pretending to be smarter or stronger

playing a fair human game with no winners or losers.

A home made healer of kind intentions and cinnamon scent

I never took a mission I couldn’t tolerate and abandon.

But I failed once tough, falling in love with the patience

He wasn’t english or Jewish but was a healer too!

my fears took over his heart and my hopes. we broke the ethics of no ethics

I failed than, thought of ignoring my destiny until nature intervene

and my patronizing skills got me to find new adventures.

he was very ill for a long time .

vanished from my presence but not from my thoughts

life may be unexpected dialogs of healers. (I learned from a wise guy)

I got a second chance!

meeting him for tea this shabbt, watching the river and our own mistakes.

Will we admit to our destiny when swirling the spoon

in the thin fragile glass of Jasmin leaves ?

or just let the river move on while biting

another piece of a fine chocolate cube?

I do

when facing an old stone

under the restored fortress

in the city of 3 religions and many messengers

I demand you to understand stones as i do.

to feel their softness as I do

to accept their hard days as I do

to read their heritage as I do

to wish for their future as I do

to declare their freedom as I do

to watch them closing gates as I do

when we shall agree on stones I will do as you told me too.
