Musa Moris Farhi
Thirst
drink me
you said
offering me your lower lips
soft
creamy
perfectly shavendrink me
you said
from my true lips
and it will make you youngdrink me
you said
where I am really a woman
and you will be a mandrink me
you said
where I cascade in waterfalls
and you will find Goddrink me
you said
right there between my legs
drink me
my love
my love
drink me
where I am a fountain head
and you will be redeemedand I drank
and I am young
and I am a man
and I found God
and I am redeemedbut the thirst
dear love
the thirst
you did not tell me about the thirst
which follows
and possessesyou did not tell me
that one can never drink enough
