A Small Corner of Warmth In My Winter Soul

I can do nothing,

I am not suitable for anything.

My soul is trapped in a snow.

Yet there is a small corner of warmth

in my winter soul:

there is always the lilac

and tulips are in bloom.

The river and green forest

and the road to home are there.

All this will be until then,

while my beloved is near to me.

Again August

August races along the street

on a fast horse.

He wants to catch up to red-haired Autumn.

But she is already in a distant kingdom

and does not miss him at all.

The true knight of another's bride, 

He smells of apples and flowers,

and accompanied with a guitar,

sings a sad song 

somewhere in a forest .

Smile

It has flown to me.

And it has given me grief.

It was your sad smile.

When It Is Snowing

When it is snowing,

I see my thoughts.

They go round and round

together with snow-flakes

above the earth.

When it is snowing,

I hear voices

of my memories.

They invite me

into the days

of my youth... 

When it is snowing,

I sense my own fairy-tales.

They go near my house,

They want to find me,

and to help me.

Goodbye, August!

This August has gone away

like our childhood –

calmly and almost by chance.

The sky had too many stars

and strewed the earth with them.

I stretched my hands to them, 

I tried to catch them.

But they were burning

without any smoke or sound.

And August went away.

Rain.

I do so love Rain. 

He gives me my new poems.

He is my best friend.

From Russia With Love!( For 4 July)

Once, many years ago,
When I was a schoolgirl, a student,
I, similar to many, was afraid of war with the USA. 
peals of thunder frightened me,
They were similar to the roar of guns.
I cried from fear and asked my father:
" Daddy, will it be war? The USA will throw bombs?"
But he calmed me, he spoke,
"New war with the USA will not be".
I trusted my father - he was at war in 1941 with Hitler and knew all about war.
At that time I could not even imagine 
that I might have so much love of the USA in my heart.
My first love - the American literature:
Mark Twain, Jack London, Ray Bradbury. 
My further American love - Samantha Smith.
The little girl from the state of Maine.
She too was afraid of war, as I sometime.
She has written to our president a letter,
And he invited her to Moscow.
All Russia loved this wonderful girl.
Now many people here still are afraid.
Many think that the USA is our enemy.
If they could know 
about my wonderful American friends!
Poets and children's writers,
Simple  American people.
They so are similar to Russian people.
They write verses and prose,
They fall in love and celebrate each weekend,
They are pleased and suffer - similarly to us.
At very hard time in my life
God has given me the true friends from the USA.
I so love them! 
I pray for them, and I ask God
to pardon them and protect from illnesses and troubles.
I like the USA, and I suffer because of impossibility to visit there.
My dear Americans!
I wish you happiness, good health and well-being!
Today, in Day of Independence celebrated in the USA.

Autumn Has Arrived!

Hello, hello, hello!

Autumn has arrived! 

The pleasures were in August,

Light grief – in September.

Yellow, red, bronze leaves

are turned, fly as in old times.

October has mixed sad and cheerful thoughts and memories. 

There is bad weather in November, 

We do not believe that summer has occurred!

Autumn hurries up to leave us and 

arrive at her distant house.

My dear friend!

Where you? How you? With whom you?

Were you saved from a disaster?

Snow – rainy porridge

will wash all traces of summer.

In the late autumn, hello!

The sun, like a dog in a kennel.

The pleasures were in August,

Misfortunes and a shower of poems in November.

Farewell To Autumn

Again, Autumn leaves us.

Somebody shouts «Trouble, Misfortune!» 

We shall not accuse the wind

which has torn off all leaves.

Autumn goes away imperceptibly,

like the wife who 

no longer likes her marriage.

She only will smile nodding affably,

And from  rain, as from fruit of the vine, 

we are already drunk.

Leaves fly from trees like birds.

We want to sing and love.

We take a shawl as protection

from a laughing blizzard

and put it on the frozen linden tree.

Haiku

I want to see you,
I want to hear your warm voice 
Come to my dream, please!
