Trees
...The weeping willows
Their widow's veil of leaves
Trailing sadly in the stream
Pungent spicy peppercorn trees
Their green feathery hair
Festooned with pink beads
Crooked old oaks
Their g...

Letter to my friend - 2
...How are you, dear Temirzhan? Is the village fine?
Has your yellow colt grown strong, a true design?
Your children must have flourished, now grown and bold,
Once they sat by the fire, stories...

I carry within me the rhythm of a winding road
...I carry within me the rhythm of a winding road, a dance of freedom and longing,

rows of poplars as pillars sustain ...

An unpopulated place where
poplars grow
Unseen canopies expose
tree trunks in a row
Wildflowers swoon over
undergrowth below
As back to front figures
watch the panoramic show

A game they often play in the depths of the forest
He replies, Turgid are the woodlands densely they’ve died back
creeping where no life is seen,

Undergrowth with Two Figures - Van Gogh

so palpable, oil on canvas seems,
and while in both realms, I now dwell,

or go on living in Hell?
On a long spring day on...

Afterfeel

Rolls inside and bides
Like a tape recorder reel
On the floor unwinds

For the random wave

Bury me, my love
...Bury me, my love, in a lead coffin
To not hear the rustle of the poplars,
Not to hear the noise of the world,
Until I rot completely.

To be far fr...

Our palms unite, masters of the subtle light,

A Walk through the Forest

Seeping through families of oaks,
Surrounded by pines, laurels and all…
Gentle leaves, so alive – yes, they breathe,
Silent like the peace I find here,
Enclosed in their embrace,
Soft music...
