Hi!
My friend asked me to show his poems in English in this site.
THE SAINTS
Inspired by and dedicated to
George Gordon Noel Byron.
The sky is dark, but they can see the stars,
There's no sound, but they can hear the lark;
They see the Sun, - it's raining all the day,
Nowhere to run - so they can show the Way.
Yes, they can lead us - shall we follow now?
Yes, they can fly - so shall we leave the ground?
They call us, - but we cannot hear the Voice...
It is too late: they've gone, we've made the Choice... 2007 г.

THE TIME IS GONE...
The time is gone...
And what's for now?
The sweetest joy?
The dreadful pain?
Oh, God, what was my life about?
I can't believe, it was in vain... 2011 г.

A HOLY WAR.
When someone tells me: "It's a Holy War!", -
My heart, through all the arguments, replies:
"The Art of Death is still the worst of Arts,
All Wars are Holy - only for one side!".
------------
Man! You know nothing about the Fate of this World,
And you know nothing about the End of this Life!
You must be happy for have not you said your last Word,
And to laud God for this Miracle to be Alive!

Well, some lyrics, if you don't mind:
THE MEETING
'So kiss me, girl!
And please, repeat!
Babe, can't you hear my heartbeat?
My heart is whispering: 'Oh, yes!', -
It seems it wants to tear my breast.
Days lasted longer, than the years
Without you, my only dear'st, -
Give me another sweetest kiss, -
How could I breathe without your lips?!!
Those were unreal, cursed days; -
Girl, you could choose so many ways, -
You could forgive me or forget, -
My only choice was just to wait.
Forgive me times, when I was blind, -
I'm yours, my love, for all my life!
Don't cry, my girl, and let me kiss
Your tears away, - the latest tears!
So let me take you by the hand
And love you to the very end!' -
You're answering, that, - oh, my Lord, -
You can repeat my every word!'

THE MEETING-2 (aka AND THERE WAS A NIGHT...).
'At last, you are here!
So come in, my dear
And please, take a seat, do drink wine,
No more of 'If', 'Whether', -
We're now together,
This night will be just yours and mine.
We both now are winners!
I'll be back 'n a minute, -
My dear, relax, don't be shy!', -
I sat on a sofa
To do what was offered,
Or should I say: 'I'd tried to try'?
You told me: 'My dear,
Do look at the mirror, -
I am almost ready, at last'; -
You're putting on lipstick,
The best one for kissing, -
'Is there the right colour?' - you asked.
You turned on the music; -
If 'tis an illusion, -
The greatest illusion I've seen, -
Most beauteous of beauties!
-
Your hair was fluttered, -
Oh, my!
- by the warm summer wind!
One step - you've embraced me, -
All kisses, caresses
And all of that words, which we kept
Through times we were parted
And both brokenhearted, -
They all were recalled to be said.
Were taken by passion,
We've lost our patience, -
It seemed that we broke... What? The glass?
All words, that were spoken:
'Lest there be a token
Of sadness, but happ'ness for us!'.
'T was a resurrection
Of the sweet connection
Not only of bodies, - of Souls, -
Much closer than near,
Each of us could hear
The dearest heartbeat in the world...
'Forget all the doubts', -
Hearts whispered, - 'Run out,
The children of times, that passed by!
The Saints and the Sinners,
Don't bore us! We're winners!
We won unforgettable Lives!'.
And where do we go
Tomorrow, - who knows it?
And all forecasts are in vain, -
We'll go through the fears,
Being closer, than near,
Repeating again and again:
'At last, you are here!
So come in, my dear
And please, take a seat, do drink wine,
No more of 'If', 'Whether', -
We're now together,
This night will be just yours and mine!'
