Don't fear

Don't be afraid if I just say "I love you",
It doesn't mean, far from it, please, believe,
That it is you with whom I am in love in real.
It means I love your spirit, love the way you are,
I love the soul in you, I love inquisitive mind.

Don't shy my love, I beg, don't shy such love as mine,
Cause it is not what matters much, no bond or lust.

My love for you is just sweet dreams, not more,
That stay with me, that I could share with all.
Just know, I love not you, I love the way you are,
I love your gentle spirit, love inquiring mind.

I'm lucky in a way, my love doesn't ask for gain,
Don't grudge me love obtained with so much pain.
It stays with me, it helps endure the strife,
Be what you are, be free, be restful in your life.

Don't be afraid, my love will never bring you pain.
I love the way you are, that's all, it is no more than that.
Be what you are, be you, be what I love and care,
Oh, does it seem too much, oh, do I ask to share?!

Loves last moment

Eyes swelling
becoming tearful
spilling over
tear drops fall.

Words failing
lips open
unable to speak
emotions choking.

Hands tremble
fingers entwined
clenching the hand
that clings to mine.

Door open
light has entered
darkness closing
hold me I'm scared.

Angels calling
last breath I cry
door closing
I whisper goodbye.

Together

Together we can do anything ...
Be happier instead of alone,
stressing & worrying ...
Together we can be everything
that we wish for, before this life
comes to its inevitable ending ...
Together ... why don't we
give it our best try ...?
Instead of balking at , fearing or doubting
all the reasons that justify the why ...

For together, all the good & positive
becomes best from better ...
All the sad & challenging
become more bearable
through all that passing rough weather ...
Together, life simply takes on
more facets & dimension ...
Instead of feeling flatter, monotonous,
bland, and lacking clearer direction ...

Because together, we can flourish even further,
thru drawing from each other's strengths
and, thereby, be able to go so much farther ...
We can likewise be the loving support
where our vulnerabilities
can cause us to sometimes fall short ...
And lastly, together we need not worry as much,
about our shortcomings in that respect ...
For all the while being perfectly imperfect,
we'll be there for one another,
and forever ... love, protect, and hold each other ...

YOU, ONLY YOU!

You, only you of all the endless world
Can bring a joy to me one ever brought,
Make life a paradise on earth for me,
My only hope in life to burden lift.
Life dealt me blows so hard to bear,
A test of fortitude it was, but I don’t care.
Joy was denied me, was in fact a fruitless toil,
To fail in life, I guess, is not a feat to boast,
Live means to love and to be loved in turn.

The 19th of October

Wood sheds its dress of crimson red,
Frost coats with silver withered fields,
Day shows its face as if against its will
And hides itself behind a hillside edge.
You, fire ablaze, in my secluded cell,
And you, oh wine, a friend of autumn cold,
Pour into soul sweet poison of all days
For brief oblivion of bitter thoughts.

I am so sad, no friend sits by my side,
With whom I’ll wash long parting down,
Whose hand I’ll shake with hearty laugh,
Whom I could wish so many years to last.
I drink alone; in vain imagination mine
Calls out for friends to come for brief respite;
No sound of their approach, familiar strides,
No longer is my soul in wait for dearest one.

About this poem:
Alexander Pushkin wrote this poem when living in exile on the 19th of October – the day when his former lyceum friends marked the anniversary of graduation, in appreciation of their cordial friendship. I have translated only two stanzas of a long poem, dedicated to friendship.

ON CHRISTMAS EVE

On Christmas Eve I wish you, dear friends,
In joy you are so sad - in sadness merry,
So far on distant continents and lands,
You are so close to me - I wish I had you near.

Heart hardly can contain the love I carry,
To each and every one I stretch my hand
And wish God's grace upon you, wish you plenty!

Believe my words, we have no other way:
This corner is a chance, there aren't so many.
The one for all and all for one to burden take,
You are so close to me - I wish I had you near.

Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven! On bended knees
I’m standing before You with modest plea:
Of You it is not reaches, greatness that I request,
Oh I would hate with this to sacred prayer offend...
I wish instead that sky my humble soul enlighten,
And heart with love that emanates from You ignite,
So that for enemies, ev'n if by them I’m stabbed to death,
I’d ask forgiveness for they know not how they err.

Call me, call, I'm pleading you!

Once again the wind of a cruel change
Is taking you from me,
Leaving not so much as a shadow instead,
Asking for no permit.
Follow you with all my heart I may wish
Same as autumnal leaf,
Same as a bird chasing dream.

Call me, call, I'm pleading you,
I‘ll arrive through cruel nights,
Far and wide I’ll follow you
Do I mind all road forecasts?!
I will come to place, where you
Will be painting sun on sky,
Where broken, shattered dreams
Once again are gaining power of the height.

Oh how long I searched, long I searched for you
In crowds of people,
Hoped you'd stay with me, with me now for good,
But you are leaving.
Very soon in the crowd you'll know me no more,
But, as before, I’m letting you go,
Loving you I let you go.

Call me, call, I'm pleading you,
I‘ll arrive through cruel nights,
Far and wide I’ll follow you
Do I mind all road forecasts?!
I will come to place, where you
Will be painting sun on sky,
Where broken, shattered dreams
Once again are gaining power of the height.

Every time with arrival of night, as it falls
On sleeping town,
I escape from sleepless home and walk
Into anguish and cold.
In faceless dreams for your face search in vain,
But, alas, through the doors of new day
I’m walking alone once again.

Call me, call, I'm pleading you,
I‘ll arrive through cruel nights,
Far and wide I’ll follow you
Do I mind all road forecasts?!
I will come to place, where you
Will be painting sun on sky,
Where broken, shattered dreams
Once again are gaining power of the height.

Call me, call, I'm pleading you,
I‘ll arrive through cruel nights,
Far and wide I’ll follow you
Do I mind all road forecasts?!
I will come to place, where you
Will be painting sun on sky,
Where broken, shattered dreams
Once again are gaining power of the height.

I am woman
I am happy and content
I am she who embraces
Those who are in need
I am woman

~to start is to end~

Is it written to see, is it written to tell, will we learn to let go and thrive and continue to grow, will we fall or will we rise to set a precedence, to pretend is to fall to grow is to show what's inside to let it flow, to understand your inner glow, to rule without passion is insanity, to rule with dignity is for us to see, let us speak the world screams, let us be free the future calls us to be, the start of an humane humanity.
