To the artist



based on the poem by M.V.Lomonosov (1711-1765), the scientist, 
the founder of the first Russian university, the poet

Master, draw my beloved,
draw her black hair lying
with the incense of perfume,
if there is such way.

Give the roses in blood
of her snow white face,
draw the arches,
inviting along the high brow.

Draw her heavenly eyes
with wisdom of goddess,
show Venus-like look,
burning up with low flame.

So, the prophesies speech
with no words flow as honey
from the beautiful lips,
so attractive to me.

Place the sweetness in chin,
and around the neck,
give the lilies bloom
in the delicate color.

Wear long scarlet dress
with the sleeves and collar,
little neckline to see,
and guessing the rest.

If the image is strong,
I will see you as real...
I see you, my light!
Dear portrait, please, talk...

Soul solitude


Thin invisible line,
wave on smooth silk of life
rolling freely

and at some point soon
gets an anxiety ripple,
wicked whisper: too smooth,
something wrong...

penetrates through the skin
distorted truth
embracing whole body
in feverish flux

overflowed the cup
of patience and courage
by one extra drop...
my soul solitude

A fever flares up
in the blood of man,
warming the body,
refreshing the feelings,
when nimble fingers
of gypsy musician
running with passion
through thin strings,
and romance's sweet words
are following gently
the feet of beautiful dancer.

Inflamed finger picking
romantic music,
reflecting heroic
noise for a soldier,
no more disturbs
amorous thoughts!
Although he is tender,
and heartfelt in love, -
the soldier's impressed more
by glory of the heroes,
Eternal Glory!
