Ukrainian Poetry translations by Michael R Burch
Dear God!
by Taras Shevchenko
translation by Michael R. Burch
Dear God, disaster again!
Life was once calm, serene...
But as soon as we began to break the chains
Of bondage that enslaved us,
The whip cracked! The serfs' blood flew!
Now, like...

The Things I Carry
I carry the immense weight of potential with me.
I carry the knowledge that death exists, and that we are all born to die.
I carry the memory of every nightmare and doubt and sleepless night and...

Eclipse 2
Mother's womb panged to be delivered.
A rift awakened, once asleep in roost,
but 4alarm crowing on steeples of burning roofs,
the foundations gone missing, on sabbatical
crowning of burning man both in and not in the news.

A Dreamers Plight On Judgment Day
A DREAMERS PLIGHT ON JUDGEMENT DAY
Give solely sovereign sway & Masterdom.
The air nimbly & sweetly recommends itself unto my gentle senses
To commend the ingredients of my poisoned chalice.
But this same thing we desire the most
That...

Pillows of Patience
I n v i s i b l e threads,
a mystical m i r a g e,
binding the silhouette of the sky

skin of cinnamon sequels
in the deep blue chakra
that sees beyond
illusive clouds,
carrying rainbow roses

Unspoken Words Unwept Tears
Thoughts locked away and tears that fall no more.
The things tucked away that can no longer reach the surface are things that bring
such pain one would think they are going to...

The Ballad of the Jacaranda
Walked six years, that way,
And watched this new suburb’s trend.
Near Mysore Highway,
Close to Bengaluru’s end.
Three storeys tall, stood,
This awesome tree-spread, so pretty.
Blue blossoms, good wood,
Half acre’s canopy.
‘Neath with sun-warmings,
Faded blue a carpet rose.
Of fallen, dried...

I do not know?
In the depths of a silent abyss, where echoes lose their voice
In the depths of a silent abyss, where echoes lose their voice,
An old song is heard, a muffled murmur, a sigh of longing,
A tremor that shakes the sanctity of love and dispels dreaming
In a universe...

If I hadn't met your gaze in that void of youth, when I mistook impulse for absolute truth
If I hadn't met your gaze in that void of youth, when I mistook impulse for absolute truth,
When I believed carelessness was courage and threw words to the wind, not knowing they would wound deeply...

One Little Butterfly -Part 1-

Dark winds blow in an unwept hollow
Parting the dreary pathway to my abode
A syringe of chills inject my quivering pores,
A lifeless shutter—the single life near to alone
The space between...

Shared Enamour
by Michaelw1two

in truth’s fairness blessed upon such beauties face;
aglow on promised dream and then,
heart’s mercy known and given so;

Goodbye
It lingers.
Not on the lips. Lower.
In the fiber of the tongue,
in the spasming depths of fear,
where words no longer light paths,
but only fester in ancestral silences,
like icons submerged in sacred rubble,
beneath the cracked beams...

What am I if not an abandoned house, a cathedral of forgotten and old dreams

Painted in joy, while I unravel in the silence of dusty...

Caesura Aquatica
Voyagers, convene thyselves to return, among us...
Caesura, crown nigh clod, a sylph unwept,

Thine late occurence on thee, wake of cerise sand
Thou belief, like a billow, upon your whitish cheek,
'Twas marina...

Faceless Devotion
Is there anyone who would hear the dreams I conceive?
Profit, pleasure, protection - ‘tis all they know to love!
They would laugh at my hopes till I doubt what I believe.
They bury me deep so it’s...

Into Infinity I Carry Insignificance
These ragged shards of breath, catching in my lungs with grasping fingers of jagged glass
Howling tormented wolves in my mind, clawing and shredding the last remnants of the last
Desperate attempts to live, temerarious in the...

Elegy Written In a Country Churchyard
Hullo, folks!
Do you hear me?
You didn’t hear me when I was dying.
At least hear me now, when I’m dead and buried.
I am, as you know, Jinesh,
Buried here—in this churchyard at Poonthura,
Buried on Sunday—

Elegiac Lyric
You Lost Me
Time changes...
Both people, and things
Both substance, and means
Until nothing... is as it seems.
And... You... Lost... Me...
When promises were unkept
When dreams were unmet
And... I have no tears for the us,
that I thought we would be
So......

Oh, Lord, Forgive Such Hubris
Oh, Lord, forgive such hubris
as would sum up the quotient
of an immortal soul……
I have…
spared the dandelions,
forgiven the birds,
washed the car,
parked again in the same spot…..
prayed for a different result
consoled a crying child
stifling my tears….
ego’s vain...

Age Of Hate
Who now can find lost love,
In a world grown cold and gray?
Hearts once tender, bruised and bare,
Turned to ash in disarray.
Eyes turned to the sky,
Seeking solace in the stars,
But the heavens hold their silence,
Bound by...

If Music Were, But Mere Dreams
If music were but, mere dreams
What a bitter sorrowful waste this would be
Thus shadows, and to play a note
A meager reminder of a world without hope
Nexus of the heart blacker than grayer
Taste, loveless sapor than...
