Pen to paper
So no tears today
Monday back to slavery
I cast my out my lline
Hoping for a bite from a female fish
Do you not see what is meant by love ?
Do you not see what is meant by peace?
Shalom is where its at, friends
SHALOM IS WHERE IT IS AT!

Love God with all your heart
with all your soul and all your might
Give generously; always do your part
Deep down, you know what's right
And love your neighbor as yourself
Be his best friend if you can
Treat him like your favorite brother
~ That you've met is in God's plan

anger, fire, history, jewish, love, sad, spoken word,
Our Holy Temples still burn
for we Jews have not learned
the lessons of the past
We just repeat them
We speak ill of our brothers
show anger to others
And for not spreading love all around
flames of the past yet rise from the ground
_________________________________
Tisha b'Av, the saddest day of the Jewish
calendar, is tonight and tomorrow, com-
memorating the day both the first and
the second Temple in Jerusalem were
destroyed. It within our power to douse
the flames, by changing our ill-advised
ways...

Your Heart is
Big and Mysterious,
My charming Husband.
Beating hard on a bike ride
Pulling our family onward
You listen to your earphones.
Besting me, admonishing me
Yet believing in me... Your faith
is Jewish/Buddhist/Christian.
Amused during thrillers
Belittling the monsters I fear
Sarcasm is your weapon.
Breaking stride, you smile
I know what you want
You're my patron.
You're my person.

best friend, dog, friendship, imagination, jewish,
A dog is known for man's best friend,
spell it backwards, read it again.
When you do this you'll understand,
why they both go hand in hand.
A dog was created from up above,
this shows we are really loved.
He has four legs we have two,
the extra stand strong for me and you.
A famous name Rover,
he sits, heels, and learns to roll over.
Performs many tricks from day to day,
best of all is to obey.
He's always there honest and true,
gives himself to me and you.
You both become good pals,
even through all the howells.
Like a boy scout in many ways,
standing beside you all the days.
Remember dog is your friend,
backwards is love in the end.
Dog ~ God.

BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR
The grace of all He is be with you all
as certain as the end, the promised love
comes quickly as a thief, to bring the fall
of what the world's become, and singing of.
Behold how quickly comes, from Alphas flame;
as naught can end unless it has begun;
the light of one who's called a holy name
will light Jeruselum without the sun.
These words were said--to write--Omega's near.
And all who can will find the narrow way,
as prophesied for all the world to hear,
and then the bride says, come, this is the day.
Those hearing all will come, from near and far,
to Davids' own, a bright and morning star.

america, anti bullying, character, community, love, drug,
It's ugly out here and getting worse
The winters wind blows cruel harshness upon on our own humanity,
scarring with images the brutality of our most innocent
The degradation of ourselves,
by ourselves.
Righteously wrapped in the shadowy shroud of God,
The harshest of the verdicts,
handed down,
administered as only we can,
as only we understand.
What is one more,
Black life,
Muslin life,
Jewish or
Christian's Life?
What is one more.
Beaten
women,
child,
drug addict?
When does spring bloom on this winter?
When will humanity shine its light,
its hope,
its future
In each other?
When will it be time to say
It is enough!

The years have
come and gone
and we are gathered here
today
to celebrate the
end of our enslavement
We can only hope that all slaves
will soon be free
And that they will become
joyous free people
At the Seder table
Where Messiahs have come and gone
And prophets true and false
have spoken their words
We hope for the best
for the Jewish people
and for the rest of the world's people
Light and love
to all of you out there in the darkness
Peace - sisters and brothers

Let the love flow
a deep
bond has developed
between the lands we
know
and the lands we will eventually reach
movements of light
moments of joy will entertain us
Now we dance
under the clouds
let freedom be your guide
to new horizons
In the land of Israel peace will eventually reign

Hello all! This next poem is a very special poem because it was written by my father when I was very young and because of him, he has passed his talent to write poetry down to me. This poem is called "Sapora Rifka" or Hebrew for "singing bird" (Yes, I new fact about me is that I am Jewish :P) Anyway, please enjoy "Sapora Rifka" by my father!
Despite the Chelsea,
Ever arrayed and a keen,
Sapora Rifka soars high above the world she lives in.
Childlike in her disposition.
Sapora Rifka finds joy in harmonizing what she sees.
Sports Rifka, my little fatal;
On key to sing her many songs of praise.

It's Spain's Toledo in Castile at times of Reconquest
The pic of history entails both love and war along with Jewish people drama zest
My fellow Jews, who are advisers to the kings, - to you I issue my advise:
Please read this book and hide your daughters from king's eyes,
Or otherwise, so much to your surprise,
In vanity pursuit and lack of humbling you will find your own family demise.

Hymn (there wasnt a hymn option in the form list)
CM (common meter, 8,6)
dedicated to my grandfather who used to teach Sunday School.
Your Awesome Splendor, Mighty Lord,
sustains all time and place.
Let us devout with cherubs sing:
"Behold! Your Wondrous Face!"
Announce to us Your Shakeless Love
that sin cannot erase.
Let he that's wronged and needs You still
behold Your Wondrous Face!
Please, hearken with each prayer, or cry
with fingers interlaced.
Let all, throughout the world that stings,
behold Your Wondrous Face!
You made us all in Likeness-fair
with Your Resplendant Grace.
Let those in doubt the Angels bring.
Behold your wondrous face.

father daughter, love, truth,
Yes, I love you child
more than you'll ever know
Although you don't understand me right now
because you're only one-year-old
Rest assured,
rest assured
Yes, I love you dear
more than you could possibly know
Even though you're smarter than me
when I was ten-years-old
Keep your heart,
keep it pure
Yes, I love you daughter
in every way you now know
Because your love has surpassed mine
now that you're twenty-years-old
Always believe
love endures

football, jewish, love, summer,
I remember summers past
My arms around pretty women
Making love on the beach or in a car
Summer brings romance in its wake
The years come and go
This evening I flipped on my "Festival of Lights:" CD
Soon autumn will come with the NY Giants
heading off to battle
and the high holiday services
which I always used to attend with my father
He is gone now
But I'm still here!
The presidential elections are coming, too
Someone will win - others go down to defeat
Our nation survives, friends
For all its faults - it is our homeland
Let us hope love triumphs over hate
So we Americans can continue to live decent lives

Fool an i
we lay so incredulously
In a love....
That it seems our sorrows rest in mind
and all is enabled,
now we able,
to weave mesh of this light as we bind...
seemingly caught up in webs of time.
But stood it may
like a shadow
was the thoughts that attest between us..
how uncouth the prattled battle lay,
all it consumes,
as it presumes ,
to arrest and attest for our lives...
keeping us caught up in lies 'till we die.

The Jordan River in Israel is remembered;
As the river where miracles occurred.
Joshua lead by God almighty was instructed;
To put the ark of the covenant in the Jordan
River, where an awesome miracle happened.
Later, John the Baptist was instructed by the lord,
To baptise Jesus Christ with water from the Jordan.
The spirit of God came upon Jesus Christ;
Revealing the greatest sign from heaven
as a holy dove while in the Jordan.

I gift to you this world my child
Alas its’ troubles I can’t tame
Others efforts I have reviled
On judgement day I’ll face the same.
I’ve seen the mosque where people weep
At times Christs’ church rocked to the core
and God’s chosen placed in trenches deep
Watched peace and love hijacked for war.
Cowards choose to say they’ve failed
So do not accept mans’ violent bent
Hate speech is bloodshed thinly veiled
Unity a gift from heaven sent.
When imam, priest or rabbi call
Hear love not hate to heal us all.

love, valentines day,
There is St. Valentine's day
There is also the Jewish Day of Love
I believe it is called Tu'Bal
It comes in August
I celebrated it
only once
Read poems
while
a
friend
played
guitar
I think that
I may celebrate
THE DAY OF LOVE!
The rabbi said
"Let love win"
and love may
yet win
unless it doesn't
which would be
too bad
for
all
concerned
Auden asked what it love
Not sure I know at 59
Maybe I'll know by the time
I'M 80

He can barely talk
since he was born with severe autism
I taught him a Lemon Piper and a Nat King Cole song
He likes music!
But will never have a girlfriend
or work for pay
Friends, if you feel bad about missing out
on fame or fortune
Consider the case of Gabriel - whom we love
Be thankful you can talk!!

the love and reverence
is what I noticed first
a motherland a homeland
but then I saw the curse
a beautiful Israeli girl
too jewish shunned like me
but a goy in the kitchen
still instant friends were we
fast forward to this present day
with Gaza razed a perilous fate
towards its people a palpable hate
to mind my jewish summer camp stay
how at an early age I could plainly name
both belonging and pack mentality
how hate and bigotry will stake their claim
when so by example one is taught to be
For Simcha,
never forgotten ~x
