i saw footprints
in the sand
half formed
like someone
was running

and traced them
to the edge
of sand
until i reached
a distant sky

there i saw you
a frightened bird
starting to take flight
to escape and find
another clime

i let you  go
and said goodbye
then scooped
a footprint
to make it mine


This poem was written after listening to this old old song which I first heard while watching an Israeli movie ... unfortunately, I don't remember the title of the movie but this song stuck with me.

were you a man
and not a thief
you would not
have held
my eyes hostage
that first time
when we met

you are a thief!

were you a man,
when asked for time
you would not
have stolen
with darting strike
like quick cobra
my very ****** kiss

yes, you are a thief!

were you a man,
when i'm soaked in music
you would not
have stopped
my fiery heart
from its rhythm,
it skipped its beat

****, you are a thief!

now i am caged
in my dungeon,
my Dad the keeper
of its keys,
he found a thief
in my possession
but won't jail me
with my thief!

yes, you are my thief!!!


Listen to this song while looking at your own thief, lol.

Her fingers prance around
        the bloodied strings.
    She keeps a grin plastered on her face;
the moist in her eyes gives her away.
      The air vibrates when she releases her voice –
                                              angelic whispers
  with tales of underlying suicide.
           He looked at the sky
                      and its chocolate shade;
spun around her playing, and blinked away tears.
                Death didn’t cry
    but staring in her lifeless eyes
                            made him feel
     such sadness he hadn’t felt in a long time.

You are a heavenly soul
with the peaceful heart
and the full moon shines
in your shy smile.

Your eyes are beautiful
like the morning rose
Your face is shining
with an attractive mole.

Your hair is so colorful
like the sunny rainbow,
that smells in your window
and makes the air cool.

You are a happy queen
with a sweet voice;
Keep smiling always
like the moon on the ocean!

I tried to write a poem
But it was rambling and pointless
And now I find myself

Rambling

Pointlessly
