Merry Christmas, my dear friends!
At this holy feast let's hold out hands!

Let’s think and dream of the best!
You are all my dearest and blessed.

Without you I can’t imagine my life,
And with you I can stand any strife.

Long awaited Christmas has come!
For me and you it’s a true momentum.

The holy star, my friends, has lightened,
The whole world for us has brightened.

I am in a spring mood today,
For me it’s always Sunday.
I walk with a charming smile
As I have my own and unique life style.

I don’t care if it’s winter or autumn,
I always sing my own anthem.
Wednesday looks at Friday with envy,
So what? Sundays are plenty!

I walk and I smile.
There is nothing that can rile.
Autumn, fogs and rain?
So what? It’s not the main!

The main is my mood,

Love has different tunes,

But only once and one we find.

And while anyone it croons,

It is marvelous and kind.

 

Our tune we’ll always remember,

Though we walk different ways.

It will sound for us forever

Through the years and days.

 

Our tune we’ll never forget,

As we find it only once.

For someone it’s a clarinet,

For another one it’s a dance.

 

I am ...

There are many of those with whom you can go to bed, There are so a few with whom you’d like to wake up, And in the morning to greet the day that’s ahead, With a smile to ask your love if it’s already a sunup.   There are many of those with whom you can just live, Drink in the morning coffee, talk and argue or debate, But … there are just a few to whom you can believe And...

No need to give away the loved ones,
Those who are near you or far away,
And those who are almost invisible,
But very often so dear and desirable,
They come into your life as the sun ray.

When all is good and in the brightness,
Your life is burning like a fire.
Why do you worry about happiness?!
If all comes true and do not tire!

But when the evil of caustic words,

Today is Thursday.

This is certainly worse than Saturday.

But… It’s much better than Monday!

And… It’s much worse than Friday!

But…Thursday is still better than Wednesday!

Thursday is even better than Sunday!

Do you know why?

What I say is not a lie.

After Sunday always comes Monday.

Hard day, far from being a holiday.

But… after Thursday always comes Fri...

1941, the 22nd of June,
The sky with the waning moon.
It was Sunday.
Today it’s the saddest day
In the history
Of my long-suffering country.

In the very early morning
Without any warning
Hitler broke the non-aggression pact
And my motherland was attacked.
The Great Patriotic War had started
With peaceful life the land had parted.

Many years have passed since then,

Willow’s over the river

A tear quietly drops

She is too tired to shiver,

Wasn’t born in a copse.

 

No one is around her

No one to embrace…

Only the wind has found her.

Is she in such disgrace?

 

How hard it is for the willow

To stay here all alone,

Looking at the swallow,

Which all the trees know.

 

She has no one to talk with,

I entered the cage instead of a wild beast,

Burned out my term and moniker by nail in barrack,

lived by the sea side and played the roulette,

had dinner, hell knows with whom, in a frock coat.

From the height of a glacier I watched half of the world,

three times was drowning and twice was ripped.

Left the country in which I was nursed.

A city can be made out of...

Teach me to understand the fineness!

Wean me from boredom and laziness!

Manifest to me many times kindness!

I am your slave, but… please…

Don’t put me on my knees!
 

I love you, I love you my father and mother,

I strongly believe in the great mystery of yours,

Only you can forgive me as I am a sinner,

Only you can understand me and do not curse.

Such a disaster once had happened.

Water and fire had fallen in love

Master to hug the fire was maddened,

Was so much afraid to hug his love.

 

Strong arms of fire enchanted, gleamed,

All around him has brightened.

Pull over to her love water dreamed

But the flames of fire frightened.

 

Prideful and beautiful was the fire

With each coming day hi...

I love you my couch.

It looks as you are the one

who understands me.

I am in Odessa on the main street

On a pedestal I overtop

A lot of people I meet and greet

Their asses on me they drop.

 

A chair made of bronze!

Have you ever heard of that?

The other chairs are pawns.

With them I ignore to chat.

 

Every day I’m admired,

Became a hero of the day

I’d love to say I’m never tired

And never wish to hit the ...

Came back home tired and sad.
Wrapped myself up in a plaid.
Opened a bottle of cognac.
Felt its warmth and a good smack...
Then...I was said
To be seen in that plaid
In three night clubs
And two Irish pubs.

The twenty first of March!

It’s a rainbow’s arch as such.

Equinox in springs

World Poetry Day brings.

 

It’s not an accidental event.

It gives this day a certain content.

A content to all those who can fly

And to all those who new things try.

 

A poetic word is an art.

It comes straight from the poet’s heart.

It gives a poetic word a chance

I am a woman up to the tips of my hair.

I am a woman by spirit and nature.

As no one I have got an innate flair.

As no one I need a daily rapture.

 

I can make an elephant out of a fly,

My ‘yes’ a man can never deny.

 

I do not burn in the fire,

In the water I do not sink,

I know exactly who is a liar,

And know what a man think.

World Sleep Day

 

In 2013 this day is March 15.

 

Sleep is a special form of the existence

It gives strength to a daytime wakefulness.

A healthy person wakes up with a feeling of freshness.

A good sleep maintains physical and mental health.

And everyone knows that it’s the main wealth.

Minimal level of brain activity and reduced reaction

Brings your...

Winter was admired by March all night

He walked with her along the snowy paths

But her daughter captivated his sight,

With her he dreamed to have the baths.

 

In ruffled feelings he came back in the mornings

Becoming tipsy of the night’s vision.

He didn’t care about any warnings.

And his fate had quite another decision.

 

His darling was the spring ...

I am yours not a fate,

You are mine just a date.

 

We would better say: Whatever?

Nothing lasts forever.

Life is worth living

without any misgiving.

 

Nevertheless I say: Take care!

In your heart be fair.

Though love didn’t come,

but you were a charm.

 

You were only my passion,

my confusion, my obsession.

We can not be together

I love you so much

but in a different form.

Accept it as such.

I remember the joy and confusion.

A touch of your lips was not an illusion.

Almost love, almost fall into the abyss.

 

I know the secret of loneliness,

It’s a mystery and it is soundness,

The dream that was just a fess.

 

I run in a hush and in snowy garden

Longing and wishing to say ‘pardon’.

Missing the only one every day harden.

An idea struck your brain,
In your head it wants to stay.
But ... it flies away again.
You would like it to regain,
And it only brings the pain.

How to distinguish a real pearl from a fake?
Throw it into the lake.
A real one will disappear
A fake pearl will be near.

In the beginning was the Word…

And only then was the world.

Out of chaos and the darkness,

Out of nowhere and the blackness…

Something more than a miracle happened

Filled with warmth and light that sparkled.

 

The world got name and became alive!

All around began to thrive.

Not in gratitude, not out of a sense of duty

It believed in truly saints an...

The coolest day is tomorrow.

Tomorrow, without any sorrow,

We’ll do sport to lose weight

As we hate to be fat,

But want to look like an acrobat.

Tomorrow we’ll stop drinking,

Tomorrow we’ll stop smoking

And we’ll certainly start reading.

We’ll stop eating after six,

And different food we won’t mix.

But every day when we wake up,

Without any make...
