When your name is Maksym

When your name is Maksym
everyone thinks about Rilsky
but you're not Rilsky
you're far from Rilsky
what's up with Rilsky and verlibre
Rilsky and verlibre are lilac
When your name is Maksym Kryvtsov
it's immediately clear
this name is destined for success
two syllables here and there
even numbers
easy to pronounce, easy to remember
and you're up about verlibre
your verlibre is violets
When your name is Kryvtsov
you know something about death
you write an awful lot about her
beatiful, awful, a lot
a lot of metaphors on the skeleton of a poem
odd numbers
you know something

you don't know she's already here

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
