“Becoming” By Odelia Rozenfeld

My tears grew to waterfalls, and my skin into a shield, my hopes have befallen in life’s battle but shall I retreat? Shall I cowardly sink in my cries? In my waterfalls, I shall pour into oceans, and in my shield, I shall build a fortress 10 feet tall. My hopes and defeats will be…

“Returning the sun” By Odelia Rozenfeld

I borrowed your sun please forgive me of my selfishness. Life felt so unkind and I froze in these blizzards. I borrowed your sun, not long, yet long enough to see you freeze. I had the moon, hidden within me, but I chose to never see it. Please forgive me. And now I give you…

“Loves” by Odelia Rozenfeld

Love is a story, a tale told by the old, sought by the young. A movie of millions of worshipers that can never really see it. Love is a song, the melody of wish birds, love can take you high, but what kind of love can make you fall? Love is passion of ten thousand…

“Rolling Stones” by Odelia Rozenfeld

Some stones roll from your heart, some roll from your tongue and neither can amend the wall that has been undone. Some stones fall into shadows, some into the light giving you the heaviness of life in the darkest of night. Some stones build bridges some tear them down and all you needed was some…

“Heard you a mile away” by Odelia Rozenfeld

I felt your tears flowing through, rushing as violent waterfalls. I sensed your cries as echoes in the mountains. Your troubles seem to move hurricanes within me I can’t sit still. When you drown I will too hoping I might save you. Your emotions are connected to me with 10 million strings. I might be…

“Dangerous Words” by Odelia Rozenfeld

Words, your knives hinder me, cutting my flesh, bewildering my presence. Why do these words hurt? when all they are are just words, nothing but sounds, deafening my ears, poisoning my throat. I am unable to speak. Words, only words, sharper than spears, deadlier than poison. And yet, they told me about how sticks and…

“In the shadows of the soul” By Odelia Rozenfeld

Lurking whispers swim in the soul’s ponds, drowning in its dreams. All of one’s fire is erupted into spiritual lava grumbling inside. And in these shadows far from all, there lies all of its secrets. Who would bother to understand if they could encounter such danger? And as time gallops by, the fire ignites more…

“We are power” by Odelia Rozenfeld

We are power, fire, burning deep in our veins. We are life, death has befallen to its grave. We are light, auras that shine the universe. We are dreams, covered in snow, mountains hide in forests. We are Power, the “what”, the “if are noiseless lullabies we keep at sleep. We are power, as we…

“A letter to myself” by Odelia Rozenfeld

Hey kid, raise your head, they drowned you in their oceans, shattered your soul, broke your bones, but raise your head, not your voice, instead, believe in all that you are, and all the great things you can be. Raise your eyes to the sky, and believe in the life you were meant to live….

Happiness

“If my heart could see your heart” By Odelia Rozenfeld

If my heart could see your heart what would it see?   The oceans of change or the capital of love, in the vista of one’s beating heart, could it vision your tears when grief has arrived or the glee and amazement that has come?   If it could see, would it look at the…

Just that poor kid

Aftermath, 17 years ago, leftover trash piled at my door, all my clothes and all my things piled in empty bags that fill nothing. On a day I never forgot, they had changed my name, to “that poor kid”. Limping street to street with heavy bags, walking miles just to save one loaf of bread….
