You are far, yet close.
It is a bitter happiness I taste each day.
Sweet pain spreads in my veins,
When I see your charming smile.

Dry tears I pour tonight.
My soul burns my body...
The torcher of this life
Keeps my scar bleeding.

I need you here
Please come and heal my wounds.

Unspoken words creep in my conscious,
Want to be released.
The cold flame in my eyes is
The sign of a silent rebellion.

Bright darkness covers the night,
Just like a widow's veil.
I cant sleep...

I stumbled on something and
Bent to see what it was.
The lost courage was laying there,
Waiting to replace my cowardice.

When I reached for it,
I felt the warmness of rising Ra.
He knew I would find the way
To get my love and faith.

Solitude

Every night
when the dark downfalls ,
I remain with myself and
feel the loneliness.

My only friend…
Solitude….

From the hidden place of my inner life
It comes through the shadows
and face me with reality...

Self-delusion as a consolation ,
this is what people do.
Life as a solitary confinement
Full with illusions.

Existence of friends is
a disputable question.
Lure of the selfishness
prevails over the faith...

Hopeless Romantic

A hopeless fool you said when we met,

May be the destiny will change its mind
I dare to hope but still afraid...


When your sun sets there and the black veil covers the city
I try to catch the shadow covering you during the lonely nights
My hand is so close but yet it slips away.


You made the dried well floods again,
Winter turned to spring with you.
The cherry blossom on my cheeks…


Waltzing barefoot on the wet grass
I greet the sun with a passionate embrace
Once again love conquered…

Song of Love

I am the lover's eyes, and the spirit's

Wine, and the heart's nourishment.

I am a rose. My heart opens at dawn and

The virgin kisses me and places me

Upon her breast.

I am the house of true fortune, and the

Origin of pleasure, and the beginning

Of peace and tranquility. I am the gentle

Smile upon his lips of beauty. When youth

Overtakes me he forgets his toil, and his

Whole life becomes reality of sweet dreams.

I am the poet's elation,

And the artist's revelation,

And the musician's inspiration.

I am a sacred shrine in the heart of a

Child, adored by a merciful mother.

I appear to a heart's cry; I shun a demand;

My fullness pursues the heart's desire;

It shuns the empty claim of the voice.

I appeared to Adam through Eve

And exile was his lot;

Yet I revealed myself to Solomon, and

He drew wisdom from my presence.

I smiled at Helena and she destroyed Tarwada;

Yet I crowned Cleopatra and peace dominated

The Valley of the Nile.

I am like the ages -- building today And destroying tomorrow;

I am like a god, who creates and ruins;

I am sweeter than a violet's sigh;

I am more violent than a raging tempest.

Gifts alone do not entice me;

Parting does not discourage me;

Poverty does not chase me;

Jealousy does not prove my awareness;

Madness does not evidence my presence.

Oh seekers, I am Truth, beseeching Truth;

And your Truth in seeking and receiving

And protecting me shall determine my

Behavior.

by Khalil Gibran

no more me...

no more me...what is left is just a ruin...

no more me, just a flesh...

no more me, not anymore,I vanished inch by inch

each time, with the tears I poured

I am nowhere and everywhere...

just wandering in between,like a soul

trying to get beyond borders...

when love hurts...

Each second turns to eternity when I wait for you

I could wait whole my life
if knew that in the end you will be mine.
You made me believe, you made me want.
It was you who made me fall in love
Now you turn your back and say good bye.
Don’t say we are friends,I am not and never will be.
I am tired, powerless and worn out
Your each word become a scratch on my heart
Each look… a deep scar
And each smile… a crash
Why you have to be so cruel?
Don’t you understand?
my heart belongs to you

I need you…
You are my sunshine.
Only your kisses can make me blossom in the morning
and your eyes can touch my soul so deep
It's only you and no body else...

Struggling with love is like fighting with windmill,

You know you can’t win.

There is no enemy to fight.

Drift with the current...

Leave it to the time .

Have you ever seen how a small blaze

Can destroy everything?

Copyright 2008 Svetlana M. Sokolova

You entered my life like an arrow hits the enemy

Suddenly and unexpectedly.

You are like a storm

Having your own rules.

You destroy everything

But give a chance to build something new.

You are the master I am the slave

No need to tell me that I belong to you.
