Swan Princess

"When the page looked into my eyes
 I looked back and smile…”

Put the swan’s pale wings up to reach the sunset
But the sunlight in the end of the day always stagnated on the ocean’s hair  
Never left away
Restless waves 
The heart of seashore said something in a tearful voice
And vision went far away
Left me alone 
Who kissed the ocean’s silent hair passionately?
The swan glacially closed her soaked eyes 
In her dreams, there were a lot of unreachable things 
Far, far away
Please, don’t leave the swan!
The fate, the fate!
Why are you so truthful?
To look at yourself on the destiny mirror!

Tender Shadow

“Hey the girl burning my heart’s flame
   I hope you were a little tender!...”

   I saw the girl burning my heart’s flame was singing a song
   And turning round and round with other boys in the melody
   Vacant glance
   No see

   I saw the girl burning my heart’s flame was spattered with water colours
   When she drew a silent picture
   No shape 
   And stepped on the ground by bare feet
   
   I saw the girl burning my heart’s flame was crying 
   She bit her mouth till blood was spilt 
   And tears was the precious giving
   Spakly reddish eyelash
    
   Hey the girl burning my heart’s flame
   I hope you were a little tender 
   Let my strong arm
   Holded your heart 
   Flaming
   Tender

Drought

Dry days burned patience till withered away.
Ice-cream was as sweet as honey on the lips
Huff and puff !
Love the sour and scornful season!
Miss the streets on the cold rainy days
Dreamed…
Lovers ran on the rain
Find shelter to hid from rain as in romantic films
But these days!
The sun was burning hot. Drought!
We found shelter to hide from sunlight, baby!
Your lip became rosy 
Your skin became brownish, your hair became sunburnt 
By the sunlight
However I love you passionately
You smiled
Like the sunlight smiled coolly

The Game

You asked me why
I’ve never known
The fate teased mischievously some girls
Like me
Thrown one to us
And the division into two became too difficutl
Love, cleverly initiated impossible things
I became to fear love 
Like arrow didn’t see the future
And greaness of soul didn’t listen to something wise saied
We standed together, next to each other, and look straight ahead 
You looked at me, I looked at the other
And maybe after you
There was fool who looked at you
Like me – look straight ahead, only
Oh, happiness hid and sought with impossible things
What a difficult look back !
We would smile perfectly 
In other’s arms
