I’m also writing poetry, mainly in Russian. Some of my drawings and paintings were created with intertwined words. In this collection, I share these pieces along with my translation into English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you know that I\u2019ll leave,
Keep your silence or shout.
I will ride on moonbeam,
Fly away until dawn.

And the heartbeat will set,
Tapping out bodies’ rhythm,
And you\u2019ll deeply regret
Playing words randomly.

Then, while greeting sunrise,
You won’t sense, real or dream.
Will remind you of me
Only moaning of wind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farewell, my love,
The time has come
To let you go
And say goodbye.
You let me grow
By playing your role.
I’m stronger now,
Through cracks shines my soul.
I’ve learned to love
Myself, my dreams,
And to embrace
My worst extremes.
I’ve learned to wait
For road to unfold,
And to ignore
What others have told.
I’ve learned to see
The life goes on,
And to enjoy
The time alone.
I am so grateful
For the days passed by.
My path is calling.
Farewell, goodbye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliance on my way,
Abundance, love, intention
To move, to live, to play,
Desire to explore things,
My soul, to see it through.

I will gift you a sunset,
And the scent of the night,
Scattered birds, crackling bonfire,
Rustling leaves by my side.

I will gift you my dreams,
Sorrows, doubts, joyful day –
All this hustle that gives
Meaning to our stay,

Gift of sounds of the wind,
Dancing spot under a street light,
And the piercing depth
Of the rain-washed sky.

I will gift you my world,
Love… Got closer to find,
That you curled up and slumber,
Leaving my song aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I move my feet
Leaves rustle.
And in my head –
No thoughts.
The autumn air
Chills a little.
Geese cackle,
\u0422ime to go.
I\u2019m absorbing by all skin
The charm of autumn night.
A squirrel in bushes\u2019 trying
To dr\u0430g away, to hide.
Flickering in the distance
Patches of road light.
Summer has fallen asleep.
Don’t wake it up! Quiet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is she \u2013 this woman
Sitting in front of me with full of sorrow eyes?
Why are you here? What do you think?
And know? And feel? And what do you conceive?
\u2013 From life, I feel immense fatigue.
What should I do about it?
Just nothing. Just keep living.
\u2013 I am she.
Attempts to separate remain in vain,
And in the end, responsibility for life still falls on me, no matter what.
What kind of life I\u2019m leading? Where I\u2019m going? Why? \u2013 I still don\u2019t know.
But I can\u2019t simply stop.
All move according to the rules of game, not of my making,
But I agreed to play it.
Why? Here\u2019s farce, or tragedy\u2026 depend on what I choose,
And choice of mine \u2013 that\u2019s what determines path.
Where to?
Along the movement vector.
Here, \u201cright\u201d, \u201cleft\u201d, \u201cdown\u201d, \u201cup\u201d \u2013 are all illusions of direction.
Constant movement \u2013 it\u2019s main attribute of life.
To stop means death.
Those are the rules of game.
Just like in your beloved Lewis,
Where everybody runs around to dry out, and everybody wins this Caucus-race.
\u2013 And that\u2019s the point?
Why not? What else \u2013 to fall in love,
Create, and dream, and strive towards a goal,
To live and die, to breathe\u2026
\u2013 I don\u2019t know how\u2026
Then learn. That\u2019s why you came again,
To share mystery, to die and get reborn again, in other life.
Though in this life as well, you live and die, like every day.
But you don\u2019t know it, you\u2019re not aware.
\u2013 Why not? I think gleams of this truth
Do feel familiar to me.
As if I came back home, Where I\u2019m always welcome and accepted,
Where everyone\u2019s so close and loves me,
And I know myself. But only there\u2026 what about here?\u2026
Who am I? What do I feel now?
Some relief,
Despite some nonsense that I wrote in notebook
And weariness of self, of life.
But something meaningful has poured out into light
And on this paper was just born.
Some understanding, deep inside,
Of something\u2026 Meaning? Life? Or love?
What\u2019s this?\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firewood is crackling,
The fire\u2019s burn goes on.
You quietly cover my palm
With your hand. Go on.
The song of the cicadas drowned out
Heart bang.
We entered this night together,
Hand in hand.
I don\u2019t see your face, but I feel
Vicinity of your soul.
Don\u2019t rush to release me, my friend
Don\u2019t let me go.
The fire is dancing and teasing
And beckons.
Yes, dream, you will pass. In the meantime
Bonfire goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
