#Sweet_Sabbath  SWEET SABBATH 

It was before the owls sneezed,  
Before they cast their rhymes upon the hills,  
Before they read the language of the dark sky,  
Before they sang their songs 
through the reeds,  
I went down on my knees.  
And then I closed my eyes 
and gazed beyond 
my own needs,  
Until I met with the unseen 
upon His holy seat,  
And He talked to me in 
His ancient beats,  
Saying, "Oh, son, 
remain at My sacred feet, 
for My Sabbath 
is dearly sweet."

#Silence  THE RHYMES IN ME 

Outside by the hill and rocky side 
Lies a young vineyard farm that I long to abide  
I bet the owner of this farm is too bright

As I ride on wings of a golden butterfly
I feel the little rain falling from the sky 
This makes my heart and mind right

I'm like a singing dove upon the branch of that junior vine  
For the aroma of her armpits kindly binds  
It is strong like simsim perfume by the night

I will always try just to make you smile  
And before the evening shadows hide  
I will fry some chips for you, that you ever like

Many are walking in the street thinking that they are high  
Just like the River Jordan filled with saline 
But I know you are my only pride

Winter will pass the coastline
breaking down an ancient crystalline 
So, I will never leave you behind

I know loving you requires me to pay the price  
This is one thing I will never deny;  
For I believe love must be something divine

Oh, my love, hear these          poetic rhymes  
My passion for you will            never die  
Although some elders           paint their white hairs 
with modern dye

 THE FALSE KING 

What man, bitter and cunning, awaits? 
What man sweeps the country's face with a spade?
What man robs mothers of their smiles?
What man causes great harm to his own citizens' arms
What man builds his throne with other people's crowns
What man dines alone and forces others to feed on stones
What man of a thirsty soul crowned a false king? 
Oh, his voice I do not hear
and his footprints I do not see
On the hills, in the valleys, and in the mountains
I asked the fox by the gate

#A_SONG_FOR_YOU_TONIGHT  A SONG FOR YOU TONIGHT

Let me sing to you tonight
Ten thousand lilies upon the hill alike
Fair is the eventide with rainbow high
I will fly before the wind, beyond your height
I can't tell a lie, there's fire in your eyes

Cold is the wind that rises from the sea
The sun that rules the day
The moon that governs the night
And the stars that joyfully sing across the darkest sky
All these remind me of your face

The shooting stars that race through the blue night
The clouds of June, full of rain, ride high
The thunder that breaks through the terrane line
All these remind me of your beautiful smile

The festival of butterflies and birds upon the fig tree
The junior sunflower that follows the sun
from east to west until the rays disappear
You are a daisy's petal, I love you for that

#Likho  THE LINES OF MAY 

O autumn song
Favourite lute, Rose of the Vale
Priceless jewel, evening rhymes 
Purest gold, precious diamond
Crystal goblet, band of stars
Morning dew, charming butterfly 
My treasure trove, and the dove that soars
Your angelic face beams with the purest light
like the sun at noon and the moon at night
Like trillions of new-born shooting stars 
across the blue
