Starry bridge


Music: A.Zatsepin, Lyrics (Russian): L.Derbenev, "31 of June" - fantastic two-part 
musical TV movie based on the eponymous novel by John B. Priestley (1978).
 Below is my translation of the song from this movie "Starry bridge".


Heavenly lights are floating
along immense starlike road,
over the deep black abyss,
forming a starry bridge for us.

Refrain:
We are among the stars and darkness
each other found in unthinkable sky dust
for the Milky Way to become someday
the road of eternal love!

Everything may ends suddenly,
you do not lose me in the twinkling stars,
won't be destroyed by loneliness
our starry bridge again.

Refrain.

Let Dipper bucket, Big Dipper
melted slowly faded away.
Let's hope that Starry bridge
will help to love, will sway...

Refrain.

The secret


Hands down

I've invited my ego
for cleansing and healing
experience.

I've been through
multiple races
in different places,
now - adding
this one.

They sway
in imagination,
changing the colors,
switching the tempers
with texture and dollars,-
yeah, pricey our choice
of mixture...

put your signature
to speed up the future
outcome...
beaten, tired -
someone might get
the result
on the plate
with a golden
tile.

Now, warranty's expired,
but we able to manage
the hours,
switch the hands,
and pretend -
we got coverage
for any trend...

But in hard times
whether we'll have
enough strength
to pull All Hands
to the pumps...

Genesis


Spring boom-burst ‘s
reached the sky
Universe – applauded.

Cool sun–clouds
& wind-whisperer
storm-palms up.

Trees twig-birds loudly
threatened men
toga-cave songs.

Women bee-flowers
sway-joy spread-dance
revealing cage-men-hunter.

Negative space

A positive state
of my negative space,
late wintery shade
I mindfully trace.

Haven't seen coming
such puzzling time,
haven't imagined
untangling life line.

I've built my home
on the top of the twig,
haven't been noticed
trickery-trick.

Playing with me,
sun rolled into pond,
left me clinging
to dream until dawn.
