Poetry...

[Yulia]

Finally! I didn't even have time to visit my own forum. Wow, thank you guys for your wonderfull poetry, you never know the person unless you read their writing. You are all so creative, talented and imagination.
Dear Adunis and Dear Lilly. Your poetry is so beautiful and sad about lost or desired love. It seems like you have a lot of experience. Where you guys from?
Hey Phillip! I just love your poetry, you must have very sentimental heart, but your style is so unique.
Dear John, you can just copy and paste some materials(that's what I did), but otherwise there is En/Rus box, and it takes hours to type something, because those cyrillic letters are all over the keyboard and they don't match, not even close.
Well, keep writing. You know: art is like a mirror for the soul.

THE FRIEND WHO STANDS BY

When troubles come your soul to try
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing he or she can do
The thing is strictly up to you.
For there are troubles all your own
And paths the soul must tread alone.
Times when love can't smooth the road
Nor friendship lift the heavey load.
But just to feel you have a friend
Who will stand by until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures
Whose warm handclasp is always yours.
It helps somehow to pull you through
Although there's nothing he or she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry.....
God Bless the friend who just stands by.

...words to live by, although few do

A PHONE CALL FROM THE WOMAN OF SECRETS

A woman,
A woman of secrets
hosts my voice at the end
of the line and responds
like a tenderly loved
angel.
She is my guest,
I am hers.
She is my host,
I am hers.

The talk is in a distance,
The talk is escorted
with the heart.
Although the line hugges
us, guardes us, enlives us,
We stay miles and
miles apart.

A woman of secrets,
gentil like a raindrop,
speaks words of wisdom,
spreads words of affections.
Her voice, like the sea,
comes from all directions
to haunt me, to keep me still.

The line is not enough.
Words are just words.
But the company
is sweet, rescuing,
tranquilizing and freeing.

We'll borrow the space.
We'll exchange words
that aren't just words.
We are comforting
and less comforted.

A woman of secrets
is a joyrider.
I am joining her ride.
I feel comfertably
light, so light
I can fly for joy.

A woman of secrets
is a woman of magic.
She is my magic friend.
We are both magic friends.
>>She says:Hello, you
fool I love you.
>> She is a flower...
I can't paint her: her
picture escapes the
imaginable.

A woman of secrets,
talks like singing.
With every smile,
she takes a piece
of me.
With every word,
she refreshes me
and caresses my soul;
tickles my soul.

A woman of secrets
is lavishly rewarding.
but she can be,
incidently, punishing.
And that makes her
the woman.
The woman of secrets.
The woman of all secrets.

Beware of her anger.
Await her rewardings.
Because she can't be cruel,
she is a devine bless to be with.
In all, she is
the woman of secrets

Like a Homeland,
she can be heaven.
She can be hell.
She is the woman, like
the homeland--
a subject
of an infinite love.

You call her a dream,
You call her Princess.

She is still the woman
of secrets. She resides
the line and waves,
continiously, in my mind.
I am her shore and her land.

The woman of secrets is
sending you, from afar-- just for you--
a secret______her voice.

A Chance

I know that I am a dreamer
but that's what makes me so pure
I know exactly what I want to be
and diligently have no fear

Going out on a limb
is where I stand these days
people sometimes shake their heads
and think foolish of my ways

I have to be in the mix of things
all I want to do is be heard
I used to think I knew my career
but my vision was very blurred

I see it now so very clear
like an angel or shining crystal
like the heat at the end of the barrel
of a .38 calibre pistol

It's just a matter of daring
taking myself to the extreme
I would be a nothing
if I didn't dare to dream

It is my deepest darkest secret
hidden within my skin
I will not be a content
until I can say I win

So now it is up to me
I smile cause life's a dance
I have to go out and make myself
cause all I need is a chance.

Getting Comfortable


Tonight,
Wine decides
to stay with me.
I measure your life.
Wine is red.
My love
a red rose.
But not with me.

We are tempted
by each other:
we are tempting.
Our night is young
like nothingness,
charming like a first love.

Wine is quiet
Like a cup,
I am quieter.
But we keep each other company.
We always stay together
because there is joy,
sweet joy in company.

As a wine's guest,
I feel well treated.
I can't afford to be greedy,
while my host is always generous.

We are together:
motherless, unseparable twins.
I tempt, soothe, enflame,
refresh, fool you....
and you sip me, willingly,
like a medicine.

With every sip you take,
I measure your life.
I only measure your life.
My rising weakness
desires
Your falling strength.
Just you.
While you take the shape
of your container,
my soul takes the calmness
of an infinite bleuness,
but why my love
can only be a rose?
a far-away rose.

[Adunis]

You smile,
Your mouth smiles
And your whole body comes to
Being.
You light up
Like a sunny morning.

I look at you
I look at your mouth
I ask myself:
What a kiss would say?
What the kiss would
Communicate?

As I kiss your big eyes,
They close with joy.
I kiss your mouth
And I discover you.
I find you more profound.

I never thought your
Mouth would show me
How to measure the distance
Between light and shadow.

The taste of your lips,
Your skin reminds of
The days going by
And you
A tropical fruit
Scented by light
You are the center
Where my senses meet and gather
As for the first time.

>From your lips
Everything comes to my mouth
The fields, the roses , the trees
The children▓s laughter,
Childhood memories, my
Whole past life
Rushes in front of my eyes.

I become the world that
You are.

I kiss you and
I meet mankind▓s history
In your touch.
