If you are a good lad
Every child should call you dad.

I will not give up drinking
But I will go on thinking
If I should give up smoking.
***
Everyone has to know,
Our life is not a show.
If you chose a husband or a wife
If you want to enjoy your life
She or he has to be your life partner
And not your life owner.

An Englishman from Yorkshire dialect
Has broken into debauchire dialect.

After drinking whisky
Some men are so frisky,

Don't Ask Me About My Age!

Don’t ask me about my age!
I always feel younger.
If to count by happiness
I still feel a hunger.

Don’t ask me about my age!
At any rate I am older.
If to count the years by losses
I am the best holder.

Don’t ask me about my age!
I can’t tell you exactly.
Sometimes I feel like a girl,
Insist on my wishes stoutly.

Don’t ask me about my age!
I will never feel old.
I could come on any stage,
For hours the audience hold.

From the bottom of my heart

You have appeared in my life like a storm,
but… made me feel so happy and warm.
You knocked at my heart
and it has opened with a regard.
It knew quite well how to spell
the words of love and happiness.
It told me: Forget your loneliness!
Enjoy your life!
There is no need to dive into sadness.
You have subdued me by the sweet song,
My life has become so nice and strong.
And now my dearest one,
When the work is done
I am writing this short poem
for you to understand
that I never pretend,
I love from the bottom of my heart
which is always smart.

Believe In Your Star

Live…Breathe…Believe in your star…
It is with you wherever you are,
It never leaves you for a moment,
The saint light is in its current.

In storms it helps to reach the land,
Its warmth it gives to you my friend,
It cherish you and gives you strength,
It leads you through the whole life length.

It lights up your soul when it pains,
It brightens up your days when rains.
It gives the warmth to your heart,
It shows you the right way to start.

Until the last breath it will shine,
That magic star of yours and mine.

God save you...

God save you from uninvited sadness
that knock at the windows at blind nights,
from sweet cheats that seem to be happiness
but then …. as an enemy smites.

God save you from unneeded advices,
from insulting libels, from vain expectations,
from those who pretend to be friends
and then …. go with denunciations.

God save you on the non shallow roads,
save from the choice between duty and wish,
save from the pain of loss and doubts,
save from needless suffering and anguish.

God bless, save and protect you today and always!

Be happy!

Don't promise me a paradise!

Don't promise!

Don't tempt by crazy dreams!

Please, don't!

Don't tell me you will miss!

Just give a farewell kiss.

Forget about tomorrow!

It doesn't exist.

Forget about yesterday!

It's brought a sorrow.

I Loved

I loved,
But didn’t speak about it.
I loved,
But didn’t show my feelings.
I loved,
But didn’t expose my soul.
I was speechless
And I was tireless
To listen to your words.
For me they were singing birds.
I loved
And I had seen a wonder.
I loved,
Was not afraid of any thunder.
I loved
And heard only your voice.
You were my only rejoice.
Your eyes sparkled,
They were two shining miracles.
My heart used to sank

Autumn In the Wood

I will enter the quiet wood,
On the rustling leaves I will dance,
I will watch the Godhood,
I will prance to the autumn’s romance.

I will wear a colorful dress,
I will mix up myself with the leaves,
I will hear what wind says,
I will feel the tender breeze.

I will see a birch in gilding,
A maple in its nice crimson,
A spiders beautiful sewing
Created with Gods benison.

The Sun will play with the dewdrops,
The leaves will dance rock and roll.
Feeling desirable aromas of hops
The autumn will be a droll.

The Last Leaf

The last leaf’s falling from the tree
Farewell to autumn!
Snowflakes start their waltzing spree
To better future blossom.

Your hair darling turned to gray
As well as mine.
Our years together – a safety bay,
They are like aged wine.

More often I would love to hug,
To feel your warm embrace,
Near the fireplace to snug,
To kiss your lovely face.

I’d like to cuddle up to you
And to escape the loneliness.
In spite of time and old view
Remain with lasting beautiness.

Day and night (Russian romance)

Day and night dropp tenderness in my heart,

Day and night my head goes around,

Day and night your words as fairy tale

Break my heart and lovely sound.

Only once your heart filled with desire,

Only once your destiny breaks down.

Only once when evening is so gloomy

I need love and want to love.
