About this poem:
Once, many years ago I read this poem in English lesson. I never forgot. I think this tells about our - most of rhe times - silly behaviour of mankind. Nevertheless, the world is a big challange.
Without Love
There is no sun on heavenly arch,
No breezes blow, woods give no start
With joy …
Without love there’s
Neither beauty,
Nor immortality there is
Without love.
But, oh, so different is
Love, the latest love.
Same as autumnal bloom,
Often better than the primal one.
It never calls for stormy,
Savage passions,
Or youthful zeal, for voice outloud
It never calls …
Grown shy and wild
In autumn cold,
Spring’s tender blossoms
It resembles not …
In place of breeze
Storm’s fondling it,
In place of flame caress so quiet
It rounds up.
And withers, withers
Love, the latest love,
It withers wistful, soft,
With doleful charm.
And there’s on earth
No immortality itself,
No immortality itself there's on the earth
Without love!!!
No breezes blow, woods give no start
With joy …
Without love there’s
Neither beauty,
Nor immortality there is
Without love.
But, oh, so different is
Love, the latest love.
Same as autumnal bloom,
Often better than the primal one.
It never calls for stormy,
Savage passions,
Or youthful zeal, for voice outloud
It never calls …
Grown shy and wild
In autumn cold,
Spring’s tender blossoms
It resembles not …
In place of breeze
Storm’s fondling it,
In place of flame caress so quiet
It rounds up.
And withers, withers
Love, the latest love,
It withers wistful, soft,
With doleful charm.
And there’s on earth
No immortality itself,
No immortality itself there's on the earth
Without love!!!

About this poem:
Galaktion Tabidze (1892–1959) - the 20th century Georgian poet whose writings profoundly influenced all subsequent generations of Georgian poets. He survived Joseph Stalin's Great Purge of the 1930s, which claimed lives of many of his fellow writers, friends and relatives, but came under heavy pressure from the Soviet authorities. Those years plunged him into depression and alcoholism. He was placed in a psychiatric hospital in Tbilisi, where he committed suicide (Wiki).This is how the poem sounds in brilliant recital!
EMPRESS FALL
See all the brilliance of Empress Fall!
She’s glittering like sun in coat of gold.
She's driving into ball in splendid chariot,
Her retinue enraptured stands in awe.
The colored carpets on the ground,
The foliage falling from the boughs,
Leaves whirling, spinning round and round
Above our heads turn into words.
Her minion once again with sweet embrace
Bewitched the Empress Fall to total bliss
And cast away by someone in the dance
Masks were picked by rakish wind and kissed.
Yes, Empress Fall to heart’s content
She twirled in dance for last time in the ball
And then dissolved in faces pallid, grey...
The sound of final cord is now heard no more.
She’s glittering like sun in coat of gold.
She's driving into ball in splendid chariot,
Her retinue enraptured stands in awe.
The colored carpets on the ground,
The foliage falling from the boughs,
Leaves whirling, spinning round and round
Above our heads turn into words.
Her minion once again with sweet embrace
Bewitched the Empress Fall to total bliss
And cast away by someone in the dance
Masks were picked by rakish wind and kissed.
Yes, Empress Fall to heart’s content
She twirled in dance for last time in the ball
And then dissolved in faces pallid, grey...
The sound of final cord is now heard no more.

About this poem:
Something inspirational again! Provided you are not too tired here is another translation from our Tbilisi poet Tamila Aydinova writing her verse in Russian. This is her third poem posted by me here. Autumn is my favorite so don’t be surprised if I keep returning to this subject. I do appreciate your time and thank you for devoting it to reading my translations! Best wishes to you all!
online today!Worship What Matters
This body will turn to dust
There’s nothing left
We can do no more
I’ve given it my best
So many high points
Not much room to spare
What gets the best of me
Every time beyond compare
A smile that greets me warmly
A hand when help is needed
A cocky smile all the while
Is better left conceded
The body will drown
When we’re cut off from air
Do we still do what we dare
Sometimes beyond compare
That delicate act the first time
I rode without training wheels
Down the somewhat smooth sidewalk
In my memory banks reveal
A time when I could feel
Such Joy ! Such Warmth !
Everyday is just a moment
Time will travel on
I just give you my greatest
Blessings of all time
There’s nothing left
We can do no more
I’ve given it my best
So many high points
Not much room to spare
What gets the best of me
Every time beyond compare
A smile that greets me warmly
A hand when help is needed
A cocky smile all the while
Is better left conceded
The body will drown
When we’re cut off from air
Do we still do what we dare
Sometimes beyond compare
That delicate act the first time
I rode without training wheels
Down the somewhat smooth sidewalk
In my memory banks reveal
A time when I could feel
Such Joy ! Such Warmth !
Everyday is just a moment
Time will travel on
I just give you my greatest
Blessings of all time

About this poem:
The feeling you get when you worship what matters in life.Angel
In autumnal sky a birds flock bids farewell,
Tearing night in thousands of notes.
There’re so many songs, heart, that I am aware of,
Only in them there is no loving song.
There perchance may be many big moments,
Whisper of breathing, merely words,
Silent sounds of faraway touchings
Raced off for good with the song of the birds.
Song of the joy our hearts will be filling
With the melodious notes of our soul,
Angel from clouds will welcome us grinning,
Please save and protect our love, we you ask!
With every minute good fortune comes closer,
When in the crowd we lock our eyes,
It’s easy to pass by each other unnoticed
At road intersection to destiny star.
But up above earth there are mystic predictions,
Angel is watching for us to walk straight,
Meeting prepares for two lonely people,
So that together through life we should wend.
Song of the joy our hearts will be filling
With the melodious notes of our soul,
Angel from clouds will welcome us grinning,
Please save and protect our love, we you ask!
Song of the joy our hearts will be filling
With the melodious notes of our soul,
Angel from clouds will welcome us grinning,
Please save and protect our love, we you ask!
In autumnal sky a birds flock bids farewell,
Tearing night in thousands of notes,
There’re so many songs, heart, that I am aware of,
Only I wish to be singing of love.
There perchance may be many big moments,
Whisper of breathing, merely words,
Silent sounds of faraway touchings,
Spring will be back and birds will return.
Song of the joy our hearts will be filling
With the melodious notes of our soul,
Angel from clouds will welcome us grinning,
Please save and protect our love, we you ask!
Song of the joy our hearts will be filling
With the melodious notes of our soul,
Angel from clouds will welcome us grinning,
Please save and protect our love, we you ask!
Tearing night in thousands of notes.

Only in them there is no loving song.

About this poem:
Just listened to the song in a Russian movie and decided to share with you my translation of the lyrics (poem by Alexander Smirnov, composer Igor Shcherbakov) and a video with the song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kRB6oACHM0
Thank you!
A man without Love......
I have become an empty shell
Filled will heartache pain and despair
If I cannot praise you or raise you, who am I without whom I love
I must love myself then you
When I find my purpose, I will discover yours
No talent or skill puts me above you, no lowness will put you beneath me
When I find love within myself, I will find me and discover you
We must love to find love, when we do it’s a marvelous thing
When my empty shell becomes full, then I can help fill yours
Love cannot be measured or contained, freely you let go freely it will come back to you
Let your guard down submit to the will, love is knocking just let it in
Allow it to consume you while you drop your phony pride
Filled will heartache pain and despair
If I cannot praise you or raise you, who am I without whom I love
I must love myself then you
When I find my purpose, I will discover yours
No talent or skill puts me above you, no lowness will put you beneath me
When I find love within myself, I will find me and discover you
We must love to find love, when we do it’s a marvelous thing
When my empty shell becomes full, then I can help fill yours
Love cannot be measured or contained, freely you let go freely it will come back to you
Let your guard down submit to the will, love is knocking just let it in
Allow it to consume you while you drop your phony pride

About this poem:
From the past to the present poets ...I once again post this tribute to All .
And lest not forget our Lost ones too and those missing whom might return like I did .
Thank you all for viewing this humble poem of mine .
Loneliness
Loneliness is silence in its loudest form; it lives in your head and your heart
Loneliness sits alone, it eats alone and sleeps alone
Loneliness is that thing that tears at your soul; it’s the heart beat of sadness
Loneliness is fueled by rejection just willing to be let in
Loneliness is the wonder if anyone cares
Loneliness is a hunger that needs to be fed
Loneliness is the pain that self pity keeps alive
Loneliness is telling yourself it’s alright when your eyes are swollen shout
Loneliness is drowning in your own tears
Loneliness is feeling worthless when no one knows
Loneliness is an itch that scratching can’t sure
Loneliness is knowing, you will face the same master tomorrow
Loneliness cannot wash away its own pain
It will be back tomorrow to taunt your lonely soul
Loneliness sits alone, it eats alone and sleeps alone
Loneliness is that thing that tears at your soul; it’s the heart beat of sadness
Loneliness is fueled by rejection just willing to be let in
Loneliness is the wonder if anyone cares
Loneliness is a hunger that needs to be fed
Loneliness is the pain that self pity keeps alive
Loneliness is telling yourself it’s alright when your eyes are swollen shout
Loneliness is drowning in your own tears
Loneliness is feeling worthless when no one knows
Loneliness is an itch that scratching can’t sure
Loneliness is knowing, you will face the same master tomorrow
Loneliness cannot wash away its own pain
It will be back tomorrow to taunt your lonely soul

Train to now where
The wheels turn the noise echos on the tracks voices heard chit a chat music loud deafens ones ears
One longs for peace and solitude
Destination known
One travels to destinations end
where one goes one is unknown till one arrives
One longs for peace and solitude
Destination known
One travels to destinations end
where one goes one is unknown till one arrives
