Love and Hatred

Hatred is the idea or action upon an idea such that the world should not accommodate the needs and desires of both another person and yourself. Love is giving up a part of your world for the sake of something better.

Reflections on the color yellow while picking flowers - a poem from May 2017

The color Yellow
Seems only to belong
On Flowers and Stones
Birds and Butterflies -
Nothing Man owns
Except some Garments and Beads
But even in a Rainbow
My Eyes cannot seem to believe
The color Yellow
Where it goes
Is meant to be

Светлая Луна/Bright Moon (bilingual poem)

Светлая Луна, светлая Луна,                                      30.XI.2017
Свети на меня!
Звёзды, мерцающие в чёрной ночи,
Улыбайтесь мне в пути.

Я хочу, я хочу, но я не могу;
Я хочу летать - но продолжаю тонуть.

Светлая Луна, светлая Луна,
Унеси меня в небо!
Подними меня своими сияющими лучами
И позволь мне купаться в твоём сиянии.

Светлая Луна, светлая Луна, позволь мне сиять как ты,
Светлая Луна, светлая Луна, позволь мне сиять как ты!

Яркая! Свободная! Жемчужина мира!

Светлая Луна, светлая Луна,
Свети на меня.

Bright Moon, bright Moon,                                                            11/30/2017
Shine upon me!
Stars, twinkling in the black of night,
Smile upon my way.

I want to, I want to, but I cannot;
I want to fly - but I keep on sinking.

Bright Moon, bright Moon,
Bring me to the sky!
Raise me in your shining rays
And let me bask in your radiance.

Bright Moon, bright Moon, let me shine like you,
Bright Moon, bright Moon, let me shine like you!

Bright! Free! Pearl of the world!

Bright Moon, bright Moon,
Shine upon me.

A time poem, 7.II.2018


Time was moving slowly today
More words packed into longer minutes
Snowflakes flurrying down the frigid air
Speeding to the ground in the corner of a glance
And floating softly when followed in their path
Breath, conscious, heartbeat striking on
A strange stillness in a sound and image storm
Drowsiness and static thoughts trying to understand
The impact of snowflakes like thunder on the ground
Struck by spearheaded crystals
Only a soft murmur of the air reaching my ears

Time was moving slowly today 
The world seemed awesome and beautiful today
