D’accord, il existait D’autres façons de se quitter Quelques éclats de verre Auraient peut-être pu nous aider Dans ce silence amer J’ai décidé de pardonner Les erreurs qu’on peut faire A trop s’aimer D’accord, la petite fille En moi souvent te réclamait Presque comme une mère Tu me bordais, me protégeais Je t’ai volé ce […]
A Great Wagon
When I see your face, the stones start spinning! You appear; all studying wanders. I lose my place. Water turns pearly. Fire dies down and doesn’t destroy. In your presence I don’t want what I thought I wanted, those three little hanging lamps. Inside your face the ancient manuscripts Seem like rusty mirrors. You breathe; […]
Баллада о Прокуренном Вагоне
– Как больно, милая, как странно, Сроднясь в земле, сплетясь ветвями,- Как больно, милая, как странно Раздваиваться под пилой. Не зарастет на сердце рана, Прольется чистыми слезами, Не зарастет на сердце рана – Прольется пламенной смолой. – Пока жива, с тобой я буду – Душа и кровь нераздвоимы,- Пока жива, с тобой я буду – […]
As I Began to Love Myself
As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is AUTHENTICITY. As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody as I try to force my desires on this person, even […]
Рассвет приходит к тем, кто видел тьму
Рассвет приходит к тем, кто видел тьму Во всем ее убийственном величии… Кто плакал от людского безразличья Но безразличным не был ни к кому! Рассвет приходит к тем, кто был в пути, Не зная ни усталости, ни лени. Кто, обессилев, падал на колени, Но поднимался, продолжал идти! И, зажимая волю в кулаки, Вдруг находил ромашковое […]
Unending Love
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times… In life after life, in age after age, forever. My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms, In life after life, in age after age, forever. Whenever […]
Ode
We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;— World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems. With wonderful deathless ditties We build up the world’s great cities, […]
Сегодня как-то пусто на душе
Сегодня как-то пусто на душе. И целый мир как-будто отвернулся. Тошнит от лицемерия уже… Мне в сердце кто-то влез и не разулся… Намусорил, осколков набросал, Мечты разбил и затоптал желанья… Другой-жалел и мысли собирал, А третий перебил других старанья… И так входили люди в душу мне… Рассказывали тайны и секреты. Кто-о долгах шептал, кто-о весне… […]
Security is mostly…
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. God Himself is not secure, having given man dominion over His works! Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. […]
Presence
As I drive up the hill, I notice this old couple coming down the hill towards me. He, the driver, seems to be in his mid eighties. She, the passenger in the attached carriage, about the same age. The vehicle, a motorcycle from the time of their youth. They are taking their time, about half […]
The Valuable Time Of Maturity
I counted my years and discovered that I have fewer years left to live compared to the time I have lived until now.I feel like a boy who won a package of treats. The first he eats with pleasure, but when he realizes that there are a few left, he then starts to contemplate upon […]
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height.
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger […]
