Ya Tebya Lyublyu

My first Russian piece. I'm not actually very confident with Russian so more than anything
it's an excuse to use it and preferrably advance. The grammar is probably dreadful and
quite simply sickening. 

Govorite s mnoj
Shelot razbeyat' strakh
Veter i krushenie dozhdya
Kholodnoe tverdoe telo
Porvannyj kak fragmenty ser'eznosti
I ischez
__

Speak to me
Whisper and remove fear
Wind and the wreck of rain
The cold body rigid
Like seriousness torn as fragments
And has faded.

I love how simple this poem is... and how as it fades out it leaves this overwhelming sense of longing. It´s beautiful, Lady. Love ya! Daffy

Nicely done. Since I don't read, write, and speak Russian without looking up words to copy, it is totally on the English part. Sara
