1- The Sun has filled the Room:

Sunny beams have filled my bedroom,
Golden dust is shining through.
I have awaken and remembered
That this day belongs to you.

That is why the fields look warmer
Filled with snow and sparkling bright.
That is why I feel like a communicant
Having spent a sleepless night.

2 - Real tenderness:
The real fondness can be confused
With nothing, it is so soft.
Vainly you muffle my shoulders and chest
So carefully with furs.
And vainly you say so subtly
Your words about first love,
So well I know these persistent
And starving stares of yours.

3 - Memory of the Sun
Remembrance of the sun in me is fading,
The grasses sallow.
The wind new snow is spreading
Very slowly.

Streams of the channels don't flow any longer,
Water is frozen.
Nothing will ever occur in this place,
Oh, never.




Willow against empty sky spreads its brunches
Transparent and wide
It may be for the better that I have not
Become your wife.




Remembrance of the sun in me is fading.
What is it? Dark?
It may be. Winter will come in its turn
After night.

4 - Hello
Can you hear gentle crinkle
To the right of you ?
These are words that can't be written
So I came to you.

Is it possible you hurt me
As you did last time ,
When you said that you cannot see
Color of my eyes.




Place of yours is light and simple
Please, don't put me out
Where water cold and vicious
Under stuffy vault.
