Carmen the poisoner!



x x x


There is no day's temptation
In a folio in which people die.
To woman - all of the planet,
To woman - Ars Amandi.

Heart - of a lovers' potion
Heart - is more loyal than all.
Somebody's mortal sin is
Woman from the cradle.

Ah, so far to the heaven!
Lips - in the dark are near..
God, do not judge! On the planet
A woman you never were.

The gypsy passion of parting!
You meet it - and you take flight!
I dropped the arms and the forehead
And think staring into the night:

No one, digging in our letters,
Understood in all depth
How we're sacrilegious - that is
How we in each other have faith.



Poems about Moscow



1
Clouds - all around,
Cupolas - around,
Over all Moscow
Many arms are wound!-
I am lifting you, my best burden you
Oh my little tree
