I Am One Of Those ...
I am one of those who likes to live,
to be a friend and to forgive.
I am one of those who hates a lie,
I will always a war deny.
I am one of those who likes to dream,
whether to play games or be on a family team.
I am one of those who likes to sing
and listen to the bells ring.
I am one of those who likes to laugh,
the time with my dear ones is not enough.
I am one of t...

Live Each Day As The Last
God presented me with a gift,
I looked at it and was surprised.
This item I couldn't manage to lift
Before I could anything realize.
Early in the morning, I made my plans.
But vanity decided to break intention.
My hopes went away with the vans.
And the prices they didn't mention.
I was quick at twenty, thirty, and so on.
I did not see the false o...

There where the Love Settled Down No Need For the Words.
Offensive words flew with such speed
Sweeping away everything in their way.
Only tears and hurts could my heart feed.
I was like a rusty anchor in the sea-bay.
"We won't see each other"- I've heard.
These were his last the cruelest words.
I wanted to howl like a wolf in the forest.
At that time even the sun was the borest.
Those words like the knives cut...

My Way
A yellow leaf broke away from the tree.
He thought he could live now free.
But it happened a quite different way,
Without a trunk, he could helplessly lay.
Laying lonely far from the trunk
He was feeling a little bit drunk.
Even though the others were around,
His happiness was not found.
I wandered on the fallen leaves in the forest,
And the weather looked ...

A Bright Day Will Come Soon
I beg you to watch the dawn,
To watch the dawn kissing the moon,
To see if the night has already gone,
And a bright day appears soon.
Just watch, how his eyes are sad,
How mother's heart pains,
How the child sleeps in bed,
How the leaf on a tree remains.
I beg you to watch the man,
Who is tired and walks blindly.
You do what you can for him,
And he wi...

Marry or Divorce
If your shirt has no button
and your trousers are roughened,
if your jacket is so crushed
and your carpet needs a brush,
if you can’t find a clotheshorse
and all the time just, curse
There is only one way out:
to marry or divorce.

A talk between a young lass and an old woman
A young lass and an old woman had a talk.
A young lass confessed with confidence,
You are too old a long distance to walk,
Your legs and your breath are the evidence.
An old woman answered with a smile:
Let's wait for a while and we'll see,
Years fly and you'll have a different style.
You don't look like working as a bee.
The young lass said: I am still b...

The Sorrow of All Jews is in Your Eyes
Forgive me, God, for being so naughty,
I didn't listen to what my mum used to say.
She used to say: You are already forty,
Time to be smart and walk your way.
You didn't go to the chess club,
You had no abilities for ballet,
You were seen in the Irish pub,
You only have questions of volley.
You didn't complete your education,
You've lost a passion to stu...

A Moment Between the Past And the Future
All is so ghostly in our lives and not all is mature.
There is only a moment between the past and the future.
So, hold it with both hands and don't let it go.
And this moment is called life, and it’s not a show.
The heart won't be pleased with an eternal peace,
An eternal peace is only for the grave,
And the star that falls and breaks into pieces
It is only a blind...

A New Start is Ahead
Believe me, girl, all will be okay.
All wounds will be treated,
All grief and mistakes will go away.
The people's sins won't stay.
So, you are trying again
The things someone tried before.
Your wounded heart terribly pains,
And you surely close the door.
But remember! If the soul is kind,
It's not closed, ready to accept guests,
Your heart is not blind,
And trust in joyful fe...

I AM AN ACTRESS
I cry and you hear me laughing,
I am angry and you see me smiling,
I tell you the truth and you don’t believe,
I make mistakes and you do not forgive,
I am so weak and you say I am strong,
I am right and you say I am wrong,
I look at your eyes and you look at the floor,

I’ve learned to understand that…
A prohibitive degree of inner freedom –
Not a caprice but a strain.
Up to the end, it will remain!
I’ve learned to understand that….
The tales we dream up
We write out of our heads.
And…. we should cherish that!
I’ve learned to break up the rules,
So that no one should be hurt.
Using my tools,
I would like to avoid the dir...

The Petrel and the Penguin
The proud petrel
with a strong mettle
flew over the sea.
Throwing his litter on the rocks
he watched the clumsy penguin’s walks.
The stupid penguin looked at the sky.
How much he wished to fly!
He had heard
he was also a bird.
If he could fly
he would proudly throw his litter
from the bird’s eye.
The moral of this song:
Remember to what kind of bir...

The Sky is Crying With Heavy Rain
I address our Lord with a prayer.
Get us free of any evil and a liar.
Let me have enough food and bread,
So that my children could be fed.
Let the hearts of my family and friends
Never know any hurts and pains.
Keep them away from dirty hands,
And welcome the miracle of mains.
The sky is crying with heavy rain,
We have forgotten how to live.

On the Border of Heaven and Hell
On the border of heaven and hell
I live quite well playing the bell.
I lived like this a long time ago.
Though my soul doesn’t know the word NO.
I live a simple and ordinary life,
I sometimes love, and sometimes I strife.
But one day I’ll come to you like an actor,
For you to recognize yourself.
While my heart wounds subside
The horrible dramas preside.

Today, on the 27th of May, I proclaim Larisa Rzhepishevska Day. Hurray!
Acacia blooms in a city park,
The song of joy sings the lark.
From the very early morning
my phone is buzzing with calls,
I answer them all today.
Without any delay, I say:
More than that: my computer is hanging
sprinkling me with messages and SMS
My mailbox is groaning because of the loading
but it’s ok for today,
Somehow my electronic friend will survive

I Still Believe in Good Deeds
I still believe in good deeds,
This probably can't be treated.
My soul only beauty feeds,
By the Sun and Love heated.
I still believe in good deeds,
But values are different.
Someone is happy in good seeds,
Other admires his wife as a variant.
Some are happy to have a new phone,
Others care about their cat and dog.
Love and Kindness were left alone,

There will be Again the Sunshine
You are running ahead
instead of thinking where.
Your heart is beating at a crazy speed,
it has its flair.
You are swallowing salty drops of tears,
You do not hear the jeers,
You do not feel the rain
But only the unfair pain.
Hurts tear your soul apart.
Who cares about your broken heart?
You want to scream, even to roar,
You can’t stand this pain anymore.
You want to smash all on...

I Didn’t Want To Speak Out Loud
Whether peace or trouble is talked about,
They didn’t want me to speak out loud.
The sadness settled in my heart.
But I happened to be a hard nut.
I was kind, not mind to some well-known guys.
Up to that moment, I could all realize.
It’s so convenient when your heart is opened.
I opened my eyes and saw the value of lies.
Besides, I saw so much light around,

I address to the garverment of my country
You, morons, with the wood brain,
Sawdust your heads contain,
Listen to me, you damn bloody fools,
Lift your asses from the stools!
Go! Toddle of hobble to do good deeds!
Grow fruitful seeds!
Moderate your own greed!
Find out what people need!
Feed the children and old men!
Heal the children from cancer and then
Build the roads and give the gas!
I want my country to be superclass.

Everyone chooses for himself ...
Everyone chooses for himself:
A woman, a religion, and the path.
You can serve the devil or the lass.
Everyone chooses for himself.
Everyone chooses for himself:
A word for love or just a prayer,
A sword for the duel, shelter as a lair.
Everyone chooses for himself.
Everyone chooses for himself:
Shield and armor, staff and a hat.

Show me the country ...
Show me the country
Where they glorify the torture.
Where people are hungry
And the well- known murderer,
Can walk freely and be free.
Show me the country
Where everyone is deceived
And the people are cleaved,
The backward there means forward,
Where to say the truth is awkward.
Don’t rotate the globe
With a hope to find this country.
You won't find it on the pl...

And I must take heart.
Maybe I'm, not right.
I am bothered by light.
You may not understand me at all.
I can sound like an autumns fall.
But …I can breathe like grass,
I can live like a lass,
Can be wise, can be nice.
I can read between lines,
And be someone’s divines
Look at me: I'm a flower,
With the sun's energy and power,

My Life
You know, my life,
Let’s just be friends!
We’ve nothing have to share.
You look like me:
My face, my eyes, my ear …
You are my life, my inevitability,
I am your tiny fragile destiny.
Like a wind, you carry me quick,
Or send me quietness and calm.
And I believe you’ll save me,
You’ll never see me like a junk
Or never see me ever drunk.
Life! Be my friend!

The Trumpeter
The war was all around
And the city was small.
The doctors laughed at him,
He was not like de Gaulle.
Well, may be the trumpeter?
OK, trumpeter, as a trumpeter!
Being a trumpeter is so good,
At least you don’t have to bow.
The bullets whistle over your head,
As the winds sometimes blow.
But why it happened like that?

How Many Questions Our Life Arise?
Not looking at anybody doesn’t mean not to see,
To do the things you like doesn’t mean to be free.
To be at the very verge of life doesn’t mean to die.
And standing on the ground doesn’t mean not to fly.
And how much to pepper so that all could be well?
And how much to sugar to sweeten the hell?
To live a normal life doesn’t mean not to dream.
But how long to ...

A Long Life Road
Our life is a real drama
In such a colorful gamma.
Our life is just a moment,
Sometimes with a torment.
Just have enough patience
To keep good relations,
To love truly and forgive.
You won’t believe
But today I cried away.
Someone thought it was a shame,
Someone comforted, didn’t blame,
Someone said: life goes on,
Someone dies and some are ...

It's a Pity
It’s a pity that
you can’t take off your skin
like an old dress
can’t cover the rags
with a smart dress
so that to impress
can’t embroidery stitch the holes
made by moles
it’s a pity that
you can’t pull out your heart
to bask in the sun
can’t force it cut and run
from the life of one
can’t let your soul
fly in the sky like bird...

Oh, God! Give me the strength.....
Oh, God! Give me the strength to forgive
Even when I was not forgiven,
No one to humiliate or to offend
Even when I was humiliated or offended
Give me the wisdom to be always fair,
Teach me to fly and not to be scared,
Not to be indifferent to the neighbors,
But to live and create for world's favors.
If I doubt to ask my heart for advice
As my heart ne...

The Formula of Love?
Man’s logic is so illustrative and simple,
He thinks he is so nimble.
Remembering the words of the great Pushkin:
“The less we love a woman the more she likes us”,
He is neither in a hurry nor in a fuss
To express his feelings and…. Alas!
There is nothing more here to discuss
From the attitudes of the poetic lyrics.
Pushkin’s words are not yardsticks.

With Love Only
I hear the music of the Creator
In the fire of the sunset, in the blue darkness of the night,
In a starling’s song – a spring’s curator
Even when the quietness is tight.
It seems that love embraces all the creatures.
No more sadness, loss and tears.
No more wars, no more killed soldiers,
And only Madonna tenderly cradle her dears.
But how to understand where the evil...

Once Upon A Time....
Under the moonlight in the park
The stars shined like sparks.
A young couple walked,
You could hear them talk.
He was a guy with a sportsman's figure,
She was like a thin fragile stalk.
All the time the guy talked.
For a bet he crossed the bay
And it was on a stormy day.
He fought with the devils stream,
He heard the petrels scream.
How brave yo...

This February took me to the frosts,
Experienced me by heavy snowstorms,
Wanted to know how much my love costs.
But…I was laughing boldly.
Happiness can’t live lonely.
I warmed myself by this verity.
This February tried to cool my heart,
It wanted us to live forever apart.
But…it forgot: March will be a start.
It tried to ice-bound my ...

Drink tea with sweet honey!
You won’t buy health for money.
Your days are blue and gray?

LOVE IS A MISTRESS OF HERSELF
Love is a mistress of herself,
She comes without asking.
She can be so cruel or like a kind elf,
She can be true or just masking.
Your fate – my sorrowful pilgrim,
With the key on the neck to walk,
To look for a fairy kingdom,
With different people to talk.
You want to know whose you are,
Where your love lives.
Do you have to walk so far...

All people are sisters and brothers

Don’t hide the feelings of admiration!
It’s a foundation of love creation.

I would love you to be... a bit more wise.
Or it could be better to say it like this:
I’m fed up to listen to lies,
I’m fed up to love tired eyes,
I don’t want to argue any more,
I’ll better new lands explore.

After a morning quarrel with his wife
A husband has got a terrible life.
After work, coming back home,
He finds a warning syndrome.
It’s a note lying on the table:

Today I am in a bad mood,
So, to cheer me up I went to my friend
To watch the film with a happy end.
The food is already on the stove.

You know, it often happens that…
People love one another.
They give love to each other in return.
In love affection they both burn.
It also happens that love is cut off
By someone’s an invisible measure.
That measure just scoffs,
Forgetting that love is a treasure.
It happens…love is boiling of passion
And someone becomes the universe.

How often we make mistakes
And lose those who are dear.
We go to those who our hearts break,
Do not notice the only one who is near.
Trying to catch somebody's fancy
We run away from the nearest one.

The betrayal was done.
We run to the one who once has left us,
We ask that one again for help.
