If

If your shirt has no button

and your trousers are roughen,

if your jacket is so crushed

and your carpet needs a brush,

if you can’t find a clotheshorse

and all the time curse

There is only one way out:

to marry or divorce.

My Treatment

I won’t tarry,
I won’t marry,
I won’t complain,
Though the pain will remain.
I won’t ask: Please, take care of me!
Though the fear is inside me.
I will stay alone,
I will live on my own.
Writing poems will be my treatment,
With them I’ll find an agreement.

What a Surprise!

How unfair is human’s nature!
A man is a lucky creature!
He can see a woman’s breast at once
And tries to get his chance.
But what a woman should do?
Sometimes she realize that….
She’s got a surprise
When she see the gun’s size.

For every woman

For every woman my advice:
It is certainly nice
to read Kama Sutra,
to know who was Palaliputra.
But… when your husband is hungry
You better be in a hurry
And take another book
which tells you how to cook.
After a good and tasty meal
he will satisfy your will.

Love is a fire

Love is a fire.

It can warm.

But be careful with it!

It can storm.

Don't play with love!

It has no rules.

The end of the game

when everyone's fools.

Why?

Life is not a tale.

You can many times fail.

Life is a science.

It's your reliance.

If you all the time learn

you will certainly earn

the knowledge you need

so that your life to feed.

You can be joyful and cry

and million times to ask:

My Guitar

Oh, my guitar!
You are in a case.
It seems so far
You were not embraced.

Your strings are weak,
Your heart is sick.
But a hope remains,
You’ll overcome the pains.

A master will come,
You won’t strum.
You won’t complain
But will sound again.

Rzhepicks(10)

October revolution –
today’s pension.

Morning today
becomes yesterday.

***

Everything is going nice,
everything is just precise.
But ….they are all lies.

***

All women are young,
but…..some are younger.

A Magic Light

A magic light has filled the space.
Our Lord has sent it with a grace.
We paradise create in dreams
Wishing to live in love’s sunbeams.

The space of love we should create.
It would be so nice and great.
The space of peace for centuries,
For all the Earth’s countries.

I Won't Tarry, I Won't Marry

I won’t tarry,
I won’t marry,
I won’t complain,
Though the pain will remain.
I won’t ask: Please, take care of me!
Though the fear is inside me.
I will stay alone,
I will live on my own.
Writing poems will be my treatment,
With them I’ll find an agreement.
