The day we met the sun had burned the sky
To coal black and bitter ashy gray,
And lit the pass with its ascending ray,
Where only we existed - you and I.
As if the Universe were to deny
Its matter and as if it were to slay
Those us, whom we were up until that day
When nothingness had echoed quiet "hi..."
And though each piece is back to former place,
I am the only one that you behold.
There are no faces other than my face,
There are no words except of those I told...
I am your Earth and you are now my Space,
Embracing me in our perfect World.

Love kissed the air with the sound of your voice,
Which called my name amid the pure silence,
And skies united two opposing signs,
When Cupid showed to Venus matching toys.
She smiled gently nodding to the choice,
And from my soul the light returned reflected,
When deep within awakened resurrected
The love which kissed the air with my voice.
The Universe collapsed into a dot.
There are no time or space existing after
Two voices met each other at this spot,
And in-between them love appeared uttered.
A perfect whole with neither wound nor cut,
But happiness throw universes scattered. 

I thank you for the time, when I was not
Myself, the one you swore to always love,
When I was greedy, rude and at the spot
Could strangle weak, could hurt them with a laugh
And feel no pity, knowing no remorse,
As if by hell entirely possessed…
I thank you that you loved me through the worst
And kept repeating that I am the best.
There's noting I may give to match the suit,
But still I want to give you all I have - 
My loving heart with endless gratitude
And soul which would be gone, should you had left.
Please, take it and attach it to the good
And pure one of yours, My Life, My Half.

It sounds very strange, and yet I'll say - 
I love you more than I do love myself.
The time does not apply, it stays the same,
From day to day, from life to life as well.
There is no oath, which's needed to be sworn
To keep me through the years by your side,
For only by your lips I'm killed and born,
And Love's the only law which I abide.
When there will be nothing to remain
Of our bodies on the bitter Earth,
The echo of our Love will stay in rain,
And shine within the brightest Star of North,
Until we will return and once again
Show what True Love is and how much it worths.

Love me without a moment's delay,
I am all yours, and I know - you are mine.
I asked the God, and he said, it's okay,
There is no reason to suffer or cry.
Tears don't make at the end any good,
Neither they're needed for future rewards,
Thus, to each other we shouldn't be rude,
Crossing our eyes and our lips, not the swords.
Love me forever and love me today.
I am all yours, and I know you are mine.
You'll never leave me, I'll never betray,
You'll die for me, and for you I will die.
Lets make our lives bloody red from the grey,
Happy and sweet ever after tonight.

Yes, I was right, when I described your soul
Reflecting me, and not your eyes and light - 
The reason why you couldn't ever hide
That you without me are not a whole.
You've always had my look inside your mind.
I'm your anima - woman of your dream,
And, therefore, the least surprising seems
That you are my animus - dream of mine.
I'd be like you, if I were born a man,
A woman like myself you would be if...
Let all the worlds to see the bitter end,
And everyone around us to leave...
So long as we will hold each others' hand,
We will not know a single cause to grieve.

I am the richest of the rich, for I
Have what I wished for, in the way I want!
Consider it as happiness, define
As madness, and I think, you won't be wrong,
But it's a happy madness. On the Earth
You'll never find better than this one,
Or more complete. The one, that will go forth
Forever, keeping you fulfilled and stunned.
We are together... As by magic spell
This miracle, which once was just a dream,
Came true and in this world we'll always dwell
As legendary Lovers, never dimmed.
And I will praise whatever - skies or hell - 
It doesn't matter, who approved this scheme.

A few people lately asked me, what does high eye pressure feels like...
I am not that good in the describing, so I would rather rely on Jack London's "The Sea Wolf" on that, but here is the poem that I wrote a couple weeks after the only instance in my life, when I cried from a physical pain. It was a few days after a major eye surgery, when my eye pressure jumped 35 marks above its acceptable point.

I'm not a pessimist, just honest...
So, if it happens one more time,
I know, it's hard for you, but promise
To shoot me - I'm ashamed to cry.
I can't go over this again - 
Instead of stockings and high heels,
Whine from insufferable pain
And beg the doctor for the pills.
With all respect to those, who choose
To fight for life, no matter how,
I'd say, we finally all lose
And sometimes 'then' is worse than 'now'.
I'm not a hero, I admit,
And just repeat what once was said,
That it is better die on feet,
To living on the knees instead. 

July 20th, 2009

I knew this, even long before the words
Were found to describe my paradise,
When I saw my reflection in your eyes,
And in my eyes you found that of yours.
I thought, that it was merely a game
Of light and shadows under sunny skies,
Which by its crafty nature was devised
To trick me into misery and shame.
Yet, summer passed and in the greying fall
I saw my image smiling back inside
Of eyes, which lightened with a pure gold,
When shimmered back from surface of my sight.
No, that was not reflection - in my soul
Was half of yours, and in your soul - of mine.

I purchased happiness, because I knew the way
To markets, where it is being sold,
And had the pure currency to pay
For every day of purple mixed with gold.
I climbed up to the Sacred Mountain top,
And when the Stars were properly aligned,
I poured my past into a clear cup
And showed it to the eyes of the Divine.
The Light appeared, passing through my heart,
And Cupid spoke to me with gentle voice,
'I saw your deeds, and think that on my mart
You earned the prize, which nothing else destroys.
So, take this bow and arrow of my art
And shoot into the male of your choice.'
