Today

the 7 good years begin today. Trust me, its written in my diary.

I pointed it out in my annual  countdown ,

so the time will pass quicker, and Ill have something to look forward too.

the 7 good years begin today. Trust me, its written in my Cristal ball.

I polished it well on my seasonal cleaning,

so the hope will look clearer, and Ill have something to dream about too.

the 7 good years begin today. Trust me, its written on my forehead.

I scrubbed it well on my daily cleaning

so the wrinkles will dry softer, and Ill have something to be proud of too.

merchants

the eastern gate is open for you now,

go through my friend.

storm in when its so wide open,

glistening gold and hope and adventure,

welcoming your slender steps with invisible claps.

other merchants come and go,you saw,

carrying long tales and silk fabrics of lust,

holding their fortune with grace that wont enchant my heart.

its only your goods I’m after,

your modest possessions wrapped in blue cotton.

spread them in front of my eyes, shining assets

when lifting the lock of your treasure trunk,

so I can indulge my wishful thinking

one more time.

מחשבות שוקולד , הבל רוזמרין

ערסל  של  תקוות, כסא מתנדנד ישן,

ריח עור מלוח, פיסת שיער  דביקה,

טיפה מלוחה  על לשוני בושם תבלין של אם,

הולכת   הביתה.

רגל  יחפה על מרפסת, אמת עירומה נשקפת

ריח מתוק של פרי תאווה, חיוכים  עבריים מעקצצים

נהימת אוטובוס, צהוב מנצנץ מבין פסי מעבר חצייה,

רדיו מקווה לשינוי, כמה רבים אליך הגעגועים ?

הולכת  הביתה

home

Chocolate  thoughts and Rosmarin Breath,

cradle of hopes, swinging old chair.

smell of  warm skin, sweaty piece of hair,

salty drop on my tongue, mothers spicy perfume,

I’m going home.

a bare foot on the porch, naked truth from the mirror

sweet scent of passion-fruit, tingling Hebrew smiles,

rattle of a bus,  yellow glistening on the crossroad

radio hoping for change, how much I miss you?

I’m going home.


red

Ive had a glass of red wine in the middle of the day at the parade place down the road

the house wine. it was young and fun and promising

at night when we drink it slowly through conversation, the fumes of alcohol are spread enough so I am not telling you all my thoughts

now , after a nice lunch I just feel that my eyes are dropping , my heart is floating and Im craving for your hand.

the eyes to follow.

to learn your lips finally.

I like red wine.

act

an act of love.

last grasp of a hand

before the shake of the heart

and the twich of a lash

dropping a tear on my naked skin

black humor

because Im dead

Im dead

you know it  , Im dead

And the whole world has to
answer right now
Just to tell you once again,
Who’s Dead…..

I just had to.

dots

warm skin I  feel underneath my summer  dress.

the one I  bought  before I left the middle east

with dots  all  over.

an  English  summer  will  embrace it

I thought,

packed it with a  few turtlenecks

and the  jeans  you  like.

it finally came after 3 years

the sun asked me to count dots from the hanger

shamelessly penetrating the back side of my closet,

I hand her my summer  guilt of

unflattering winter body.

she glimpsed at  me with a little breeze,

exposing my warm  thighs

to by passers eyes of London’s streets

drained

Im  drained.

left you nothing of me,

but  a vague  memory of a loving  woman,

drifting from an old metal pipe

in little salty drops on a marble floor.

a reflected figure of a tired girl,

still able to make you wish for

and regret she  has not stayed

herself.

needs

I need to escape from my room,

from  the double glazed windows

that keep my castle warm and quiet.

I need noise.

I need to escape from  this love

from the double glazed fears

who keeps  my heart sad and loyal.

I need else.

I need to escape from my mind,

from the  double glazed box

that keeps my soul kind and safe.

I need freedom.

lost

a flat  line,

no one  missed me,

or  wish to  read  my  older  words.

let  me curve  you a  new  reason

to  read  me  again.

a flat  line,

no one  missed me,

or  wish to  hear  my old tales.

let  me find you a new  note

to  listen to me again.


I have  met him again today,

in the  shape of  a  tall actor

in a  south  American bitter comedy

kind  of like life.

with long  legs,

wavy hair

and the wrong choices in  life

well ok, the actor was not  like you completely

his  eyes  didn’t spark of adventure

his heart was tired and his socks were clean.

but somehow  sadly the  same end occured

he lost the girl

he loved

as you  did.




לא כותבת

לא כותבת לך יותר

בשפה עילגת, שלא אהבתי  בה אי פעם.

לא אכתים ואכתיב את לבי במליצות שנהב.

לא כותבת לך יותר בשום שפה,

אתה מצא לך שנינות חיבה אחרות.

BBQ

you should  have been there  today.

a BBQ, like in the old days. you loved  those.

where the  sun is comforting the appetite

and I pour myself  2 glasses of  wine

one for your eyes  to smile and one for you to hold  for me

you  should have been  there today

a BBQ like in the old days, you loved those.

children in their  parents arms,  rolling on a  ketchop slide

men’s little talk with  a beer next to the BBQ stand

one  always offer  to help.  one helps himself with the burgers

you should  have been there  today.

a BBQ, like in the old days. you loved  those.

a lady  that must be sexy and flirt with all the man but her husband

2 mothers resting inside, chatting about breast feeding techniques

one is eating a slice of chicken while the other feed her child

you should  have been there  today.

a BBQ, like in the old days. you loved  those,

my  friend next to me his smile is kind as his mind

I hold  a book,  poems  of  Jerusalem and love,  pretending

I  kiss you in the old  city when buying pitas for our summer treat

new

your  grammar mistakes brightens my eyes

fill me with hope when inventing a  new language.

your biblical writing tickles my hands,

fill me with joy when fighting for a new religion.

your shivering Hebrew wrestles my heart,

fill me with strength when thinking of a new family.

Cambridge

horizontal stripes of  sun falling on the great lawn,

coloring the grass in every possible green color

deeper as the sun travels the day to its  end

4 children blushed by youthful  lust and true summer tan

play  with a  ball and plastic  cola bottles,

their parents lay near,  holding a book,

they bought in the local borders,

a special sale on  historical  novels.

I  adore our little  history,

we came  to Cambridge holding hands.

horizontal stripes of  sun falling on the great lawn,

coloring the  day in every  possible green color

deeper as the sun travels the sky to its end,

a lady sitting  there  on a folding chair holding a pizza carton.

2  bottles of  champagne rolled next to her feet, empty of content

the chair near her empty  as well.

she tells a  story I rather forget but must  write

a  special tale of the  men who went away.

I  adore our little  together,

leaving  Cambridge holding hands.
