And she gave up and stopped complaining

When everything was said and done.

She cried all tears out, waited all expecting.

***

There's no use in looking forward when all dreams are gone,

And birdie went on sharing her grief with silence

A grief kept grieving at her heart – she suffered asking ‘Why?’ from time to time.

Sometimes they say that you are good,

Sometimes they think you're bad, you're cruel,-

Depends on ther relation, their mood.

But be yourself – no change – be who you are.

***

And be yourself when you're in trouble,

And be yourself when flying from the joy.

And be yourself in spite of every grumble,

And you will see the light in turn.

***

No one would dare take your pride or courage,

No one could ever see the way you feel,

No one could realise your grieve, your joy,

So never worry – be yourself.

***

Your wealth and treasure – in your heart,

Just see your soul, see – who you are,

Just learn yourself– no finish, no start,

Go on– and you will find your star!

***

So be yourself in light and darkness,

Be who you are– the only one who's true.

Well, be yourself when rain and thunder-

Above your head – and hell is under.

***

The only remedy, the only drug for you -

To find your real face – no wearng mask.

You cannot run away from you, -or are you a fool?

Go on – and be yourself and pass this difficult task.

“Let the Light Be!”

The Wholy Bible

How can one live in darkness having light?

And feed oneself with hatred and obscurity and disbelief?

Eternal peace and rest and insight will fulfil your soul by the time

When you throw off all that cluster of dark thoughts for good, believe!

***

Your epiphany is in the fight with the Unseen and Evil.

Remember: human passions make them perish all the time.

But Spirit craves not for Vengeance, in Forgiveness its salvation is.

Because Revenge will never bring comfort or peace to mind.

***

And the Revenge will just repeat itself within the circle of low-minded feelings,

And passion cluster! It will drive your soul deep into the corner.

You won’t even notice how you’ve changed and these

Are not the words that rude, oh no, my friend!

***

It’s all the Heart to blame, that has become so rough like stone,

Eyes full of pride and arrogance!

Oh, how you bemired yourself leaving simplicity behind you soul,

How wrong you made to yourself with this contempt of yours!

***

You try to look prettier and to furnish nicely home,

But only vivid soul will stay with you!

And God just only cares about salvation of this sacred soul,

And all the prophets for its cleanness warned you!

***

Then why to break the rules of Harmony and Nature,

Which even animals will never dare to break?

The truth is that in this world there's no more evil creature

Than a human being.

***

Then why to sew evil – doing evil to yourself

While even little mindless creatures live happily on earth?

And losing yourself in this fiery desert,

Keep bringing only flaws to it, instead of Dream, forsooth!

***

And the strongest is the one who had endured all hurricanes of Life

And quenched his thirsty Spirit the same time.

The strongest’s not the one who lost his power in the battle of Life,

And lost his faith, having become rude, senseless, tough.

***

And having turned out to be a false substitute of human,

Cold to the pain and suffering of others

And being not capable to love – only to hate, to scorn!

And beggar in the soul, still being hungry for love, for tenderness.

***

Oh no, not the one is strong who’s knocked down by the obstacles of life

And changed his love and faith for empty passions,

Buried his hope in water deep inside

And lost his face, his soul’s wealth.

***

Who changed his heart for arrogance and pride,

Forgot his sins and blamed the ones beside.

While his soul was the throne of ignorance and hypocrisy, lie

But he did not behold the flaws of own heart.

***

And only the one who took all challenges of Life

With no fear and was wounded many times

And still survived with heart of fire and with faithful heart

Can stand up tall and strong inside.

***

Whose soul became so wide and open that

Could embrace all loving that the life would bring.

His heart is generous and simple like a child.

There’s no place for envy or for jealousy in it.

***

No musty hypocrisy or lofty pride can find there place,

But only betrayal can break a heart of brave!

This heart will never understand it why it happened to them,

But still will fly on soothing his spirit with a pray.

***

Pray is a food for Soul,

The flesh is feeble but the Spirit is free.

And only when faith is strong and firm

Bright is the mind and high is the flight – then one can break all chains inside of him.

In stead of thee*… thy* face, thy smile, thine eyes, -

Imagination that creates the while*

Orb of a tear* would have cleared my mind,

Thou wert* a phantom all this time.

***

And now – what I have instead of thee?

The shade* that hid us from the pain,

Your vestiges*– that stil alive on it,

Some pictures – yet I see again.

***

Fain would I give my heart for love!

What will you say if I come through*?

How can one blame m efor this soul?

May you forget this all – for good?
