Love does not go missing
or lessen
it grows
How do we return to ourselves who knew
the meaning and expression
of purity?
If for one night my love left me
I would extract them
from the blue of my heart
and return to Hashem
Hashem speaks of love
of self
of all humans
of Hashem
This love stays with us
The origin of light
is your
mother and father
Hashem created us
of them,
in their image
Where does your love go?
After the sun sets and
the night becomes you
Last night I danced
in my mother’s shadow
and in the mirror I became her
I left my lover
for who I may become
From where we come
I lost my first self
to the noise of the world
Soft melting love
that sounds like
rainfall and waterfalls
envelops my soul
Beneath anger
and beneath hunger
We are pure
In summer’s embrace
we walk towards ourselves,
away from loss
The whole world
sits upon your tongue
as you are a poet
Many loves
become you and I do not know
you or your diamonds
except for the light of your eyes
I have forgotten
time
I have forgotten
my whole self
I have returned
all my love to You
Have you forgotten
the taste of sweet milk
at dawn-or is your
love unconditional?
Frozen in this
half-living
is to never
wake up and
to never fall asleep
Where do we go
in the night?
When our eyes forget us
do we remember our sins?
What is the right answer
to the call of hardened lust?
Sorrow is to leave you
