Konstantin Vanshenkin Poems
We just remember facts and actions,
To which our life presented us,
There are, amidst them, and inventions,
That kindly visit us sometimes.
...
They're false - all those loud statements,
That you'd gone to the other world,
And left all us - your life is endless
While still alive our hearts and thoughts.
...
All going to the whiteness, earthly,
As an unmoving immense wall,
There pours a snow, becoming denser,
And shields us from daylight at all.
...
In the morn, when rest was close now,
Near the unknown village's place
Kissed a bullet our lad's high brow,
Burned a bullet lad's eyebrows, else.
...
The match, that just was lighted,
A halo of pure gold,
The one, who had united
Light with Dark in World.
...
I was severe, focused all
And, in the spring of my life here,
Had not a mercy for men' faults,
And their mentions did not hear.
...
On the same place and many times
The earth was dug right there by shovels,
And every grave became, at last,
The one communal grave of ours.
...

The Best Poem Of Konstantin Vanshenkin
We Just Remember...
We just remember facts and actions,
To which our life presented us,
There are, amidst them, and inventions,
That kindly visit us sometimes.
But once we see a day, the April's,
We hear laughter, catch a sight….
Reminiscences of our senses! -
They're the inciters of our heart
That force it to palpate for hours,
Or promptly fly up to the skies,
And they're saved not by thoughts of ours,
But by our hands and lips and eyes.
