Little Prince

If I could ask myself a little prince
I would ask him to be like you
 Fall from the moon
And bring me the stars
Ask him to have your smile
 Ask him your way of speaking
Your melody 
Ask him to be you

If I could ask myself little prince
I would ask him to be   
Honest just like you

 Ask him to cherish me
 To dissolve me just like you
And give me his strength
Enlighten my day
Wake me from my dreams 
And on my lips dispel                                                                                            
His magic powder 
My prince…..

Life

Life 

Go on with your life
Don't look back
The wolf will not come
The tiger will go
Just you and your soul
Leave the fears far far away
Your
Life is what you are
Scream

Myth and Reality

Myth and reality

How everyone in the universe painted dragon:
India
China
Germany?
There was this dragon.
This is not a myth.

How the lovers dream about 
Kings and Queens,
The Palace,
The glass slipper
About Cinderella?
This is the reality.

I live in Jerusalem and the dream and 
The legend is  reality 
I am wearing a sandal on Cinderella, at
Street alley
I watch My kingdom
That your image
Engraved.

Kitchen

Years my father nostalgic for my mother.
She'd set the Shabbat table
Guess the white cloth the flu vegetable land
 Let the fine flour, put the meat
Put the tomatoes and garlic
She could cook.
It tasted feed came from us
And so would put us as cookies Yu Yu Tonisaiot
Sweet biscuits dipped in liquid dam
Rosewater would add my grandmother if she had been allowed to
But here in my mother would make the salads very thinly
To unite us at the Shabbat table.

I did not learn a foreign language parents
My parents speak their language changes
Request a sweet Polish father
Tunisian mature mother
And I did not learn of them a foreign language
Only Hebrew sucked mother that it was not her mother tongue
She spoke with her sisters in French
Arabic
Jewish and jargon that far.

In the kitchen I did not learn a foreign language
Only Hebrew

Do Not Go

Do not go / Shoshana Vegh

 So low for you, Danushka
Grandfather chrisms is not visiting your bed
And no miracles from Jesus
Ho, your Maria is crying as  your  life  sleeping away
So small is your body
Like the white snow
Your body covers
With damned illness
That put down roots
At your beautiful soul
My Danuta
My relative soul
 

Your pure heart
Your little hand still holds my hand
As we go by the roads
As we visit the Jewish synagogue
I am not with you these moments
Just life still
Keeps us together
Like a bunch
You’re Judaism and your Christianity
Integration of prayers
 

I send you light
Please come near, Danka 
My niece
Please come
 

Please do not go from me
Do not go
My niece
Do not go
My niece

An Astronaut

An astronaut

My son dreams of the moon.
This morning he flew at  kindergarden junk.
Build Spacecraft.
Draw me a map.
I hung on the refrigerator a few pieces of paper
To know how to get to the moon.

"Tomorrow we are going to fly to the moon," 
he solemnly informs me.
It is not new that he is  flying since he was born
But this time he flew to bring us
 lots of cheese.

In my dream
He sits on the moon like a little prince
Picking up my cheese with holes and
Many dreams.
Soon he will knock with his spaceship
A lot of threads of a dream.
And the moon He'll present me
On a plate.

Birds At the Capitol Hill

Birds on Capitol Hill
July 2010
Shoshana Vegh

Birds on Capitol Hill
Range from arid and dry grass
Sirens security forces
 Fourth of July tomorrow
 And converge for birthday
 Moving from north to south wind
 East to west
Do not hear the earthquake
Do not cry bitterly
Right in own way

 Just want to fly.

Parking Lot

Fears that the
escalator to get 
down to the 
 parking lot
stifling you..
 The 
Pile does not end.
 
 
Cars together as people
do not let you go
pass between. 
This madness.
 
Clutch   with madness on your mop.
Underground garage
A book of poems
Born yesterday
Crushed
Claw.
Instead of hands
 Cold metal
Prosthesis
Still silent.
 
I'm bleeding on the way
not sold
 
not enough
 Gorgeous
 
Not enough
Poet
 
Are you afraid?
are you afraid?
are you afraid?
not  to be 
shown
as a
Po-et

Next Showcase

Her eyes speak
Old lace
Silk stockings
Hand contact
still him
 
 
Her eyes speak
Front Shop window
Look at her face
Stare at the mist
She dreams
 
Fluorescent lights
Flickering on her face
And
Total old
Seventy and
Some years
 
I like her
Soon I be
Missing woman

Its Never Enough For Me

It's never enough for me,
In this terrible deficit I dwell,
Lost in an overdraft of desires,
Reaching out repeatedly,
Yet forever tethered to you.

Where does this neediness arise?
An inquiry you never make,
Can you quench this hunger,
I ask again and again,
But never find fulfillment,
In mere words, one or two.

Our connection remains unbroken,
Always linked, never a concern,
Forever yours, my heart avows.

Yet I'm drowning in scarcity,
Engulfed in this profound lack,
We meet but once a year,
That moment resurfaces,
Where minus and plus converge,
Nourishing me for another season.

You promise to be there till the end,
Parting with a kiss, a bittersweet farewell,
For my time will surely come,
And when I'm gone,
The deficit will cease.

Until then, I crave your presence,
Longing to immerse myself,
To revel in your essence,
To savor life, in your embrace.
