SALT

always on a thursday

something about it,

blows own eyes away

a caged bird

but the door pleases out,

the swiftness of other hands…

backdoor histories

rocking alive,

full blast transparency

summation of memories

keeping two words,

breathless

needles prick

the love protagonist,

faith bleeds

again!

SCROLLS

the written recollection

of your deepest voice

parchments of passions

tied to the salt of time

sacred longings

pulsing my veins

as refugee of love!

the echoes of the mezuzah’s

prayers are heard

deep within the beating cave

of my heart,

timeless…

yet bounded to

apocalyptic

desires

the shadows of the nights

forging a spear of light

when i seize both

your hands

to submerge in a

ritual bath…

CREATION

return all dreams

to mother earth

call back the birds

to their sacred dwelling

let the magic emerge from

each flower that blooms into the air

so life can sing to the morning

as the sun arises to kiss

the soil that sprouts sustenance

and mirrors itself over the ocean

let the animals dwell the land

unharmed by our arrows

in soul harmony

for we are one with all creation

heirs of its wisdom and glory

all eternal mysteries

while love

spin vigorously

giving birth to

inner beauty!
