Love Is Like a Board Game

Love is like a board game; 
One where the rules are complex 
There is no right move 
Where to go to next. 

Love is like a board game;
As it goes on you realise
You don't really understand the rules
But try play anyway.

Love is like a board game;
Misinterpreting the other player's thoughts, 
Mistakes are made 
In the desire to win.

Love is like a board game;
If pieces are lost its harder to play. 
Or you can risk it with the remaining ones, 
Knowing it might go wrong. 

Sometimes in the middle of a game 
Playing no longer gives you pleasure 
You stop and accept it's not the same 
Though moving on is no easy measure.

Leaves

Leaves let go gracefully 
When the season comes to an end 
Papering the ground, a carpet of colours
crisp at first and then subdued and soggy 
Squished to the ground by clumsy feet 
Stomping, squelching, trying to stop slipping. 

Such is the switch of seasons 
And the flipside of life 
What starts out bright and full of promise 
Can swiftly turn to sadness, 
squelched to the ground by clumsy feet.

To let go gracefully isn’t easy; why can’t I learn that from the leaves?
But I guess slipping into sadness, yet somehow struggling back up to see the next season 
Is in itself a sign of strength.

Stoptober

Vanilla froth of the sea milk shakes 
Rising and falling with my jumps, in motion with the rest of the crowd 
All shimmering with sunscreen and that shiny, slick glow of freedom

Droplets shaken off a bikini land on my magazine and it rustles in rhythm with the pages of the book being turned next to me.
I squint, the heat of the sun beating down, insistently like the berating of mothers, mixed with greetings of ‘allo, nu, ma inyanim’.

I love lounging like this with legs stretched out,  
different languages lapping all around-the lull of Russian, the drawl of American, the lilt of Australian
Mingling with Middle Eastern music playing somewhere near
All wafted along by the warm breeze, carried with the cozy coconut smell of sunscreen
All basking in the bliss that is Jerusalem beach.

The taste of the sea salty and grainy on my lips 
Golden glimmers of sand stuck to my soles
Sharp shells lying scattered on the shore 
Showers crowded, water splashing 
It’s the city that never stops they say 
But it’s October and in Tel Aviv time has been turned 
And I want an endless summer of solitude
Spent on its stunning shoreline.

Tube Robots

The corrugated clang and creak of the escalator
Welcomes murmurs of lovers entwined in conversation 
The lilted quick chatter of tourists 
Interrupted by those racing- no regard for bags, or backpacks or babies. 

Mechanically they step on and off
Fever is in their eyes 
To get on, sit somewhere, go some place 
Sometimes they push, like children in the playground

On the platform my plait snaps in the air 
Wind lifts and tugs tendrils, teasing
The madness of monotony 
Rattles insistently 
Like the great beast on the tracks 
Hurtling towards me

Love Addict

Some kindness a day keeps the devil in my head away 
Whispering I’m useless, 
an anxiety fuelled love addict 
Who will always be alone
Mad with the misery of my mistakes 

But if I vanquish the devil with the same weapon that is my undoing;
if I fire love in this fractured world 
Through small bullets of goodness
Then I’m still a love addict 
But I’m not ashamed of it
It brings peace to this war I bring on myself.

A House On Fire

I loved you but the blaze was destructive 
I had to always fight through the fiery furnace of feelings 
Always grasping for something stable to find nothing
but smoke surrounding me
Sparks flying, burning, devouring my senses.

Vision clouded, throat burning I slowly sink to the floor 
And finally I sit with my pain and let it burn like a flame, 
It flickers for a while but won’t ever go out,
This agony is constant and cruel; my body and soul it claims.
They tell me time heals but still-I don’t think il ever quite be the same.

Thin Ice

skating on thin ice
afraid of slipping 
afraid of it cracking 
afraid of falling into the icy water beneath
i feel the chill
i feel the threat 
i hear the rise and fall of danger 
whistling in the air around me 
happy voices clamour with children's screams 
i have no voice 
it is too cold outside 
my breath comes in short, sharp spurts 
words caught in my throat 
words that stop themselves forming 
unlike the puffs of smoke i breathe, dancing in the air 
my skates are strong but the ice is not
i am right in the middle of the rink, no side to clutch on 
disaster threatening
but i keep on going
no other choice.  
regain my balance 
skating on thin ice 
hoping it won't crack 
hoping i wont fall into the icy water beneath.

Places, Faces, Spaces

Looking for love in all the wrong places 
Looking for love in all the wrong  faces 
Looking for love in cold empty spaces 

Self love’s been lost, pushed to the wayside 
Replaced with rejection 
Harmed by hurt 
A concoction of confusion
churning inside

Pain pushed down by pragmatism-life must go on 
Even though life seems stuck on playing 
this endless 
sad song.

Home Is Where Your Heart Lives

When sadness comes crawling 
Sling it to the sewers
When self doubt keeps calling 
Block its number 
When the harsh words keep pouring 
Put up your umbrella 

Park your worries 
On that deserted street 
Let fear be its company
For the two will surely meet.

Home is where your heart lives 
A safe, accepting place 
And if someone gives you that same feeling 
Welcome them into your space.

What Disney Doesn'T Tell You

As quickly as they come they disappear in a flash 
Tearing your world apart 
Dashing your dreams and hopes and wishes
Not giving a damn about the state  they left your heart 

Oh they'll cry in the end they always do 
But do they come running after you? 
No they watch you go 
Give excuses high and low
How they need to be free to explore and discover  
But pretty soon you'll see them on the arm of another 

Fairytales are false fantasies 
Dreams don't come true 
Don't rely on a handsome prince 
Happy ever after is up to you
