Shirim ve Tehillim - Hebrew poems and psalms

See also bamisaadah-in-resteraunt

Hayiti melech hagevaot
veshafan haamakim
beyachad /betiyum
im peimot libi


Listening to Noah
singing "nanuah"
liquid love
smiling through tears
pure ghee rubbed
on a babies' back
feels just like that
a 1000 years
of lonely fear
hiding in fortress of the heart
dissolves just like that
im ayn haAyn Sof
az maayin noveya
hayofi hazeh

Habayit reyk
hamekarerr mefamzem lo
d'maot shel shalva
zolgot al lechyai

(The house is empty
the fridge is whirring
tears of peace
pour down my face)

_____________________

In the small silence
I glimpse the great silence
that Solomon spoke of:
ki azah kamavet haahavah
mayim rabim lo yuchlu lechabotah
uneharot lo yishtefuhah...
for love is strong
as death a flame
blazing vast floods
cannot extinguish
nor rivers down.”
I take off my body
and stay at home
