Space Of Love

 

In a time of

megalomaniac aspirations,

versus the heavy tying

end to end,

we chose to live

in two rooms.

We often say - They are

our little paradise.

 

Here even the walls

share

our loneliness,

and the silence enchants

with its healing calmness.

 

The air exhales

intoxicating sensuality,

and the floors evaporate

under the ubiquitous infatuation.

 

Here our duality

blissfully lives its catharsis

into trinity.

 

In the newly discovered

essence of the reality

our new vitality

exalts affection.

 

In the peacefulness of the love,

both rooms’ space

grows to space lessness.

 

Love

in our paradise island

is a sequence of the time

eternalized

in timelessness.

 

Another RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS

 

With a whisper of a prayer

I went to bed

grateful for the smile of the dream.

 

Music with a new sound

spilled across

the new room of the enjoyment.

 

The thread of the self-fulfillment

heated to a red-hot glowing

so I opened the window of the bliss

to dance endlessly with the serenity

on the illuminated podium

with an atrium of cheerful flowers.

 

In the notebook

from the first kitchen drawer

this recipe for happiness

also will find its place.

 

Unification

 

Someone else's shrieks

are mine screams

(although my name

is not a Bird).

 

However,

dancing hand in hand with the birds

in the middle of my home

I will rejoice and have fun.

 

I'm not afraid

of the thunderstorm –

even the lightning melts

in the Sun.
