Dmitriy Kokarev Poems

I wasn’t careful
Reckless and at times forgetful
Childish and playful
Careless and at most times’ hopeful
...

Beneath the stars I lay you down
And weep beside you on my knees
What use is me being a clown
When our love slowly flees
...

Let us for a second try to hide
Behind the curtains of this gloomy night
Let us pretend that what we have is wide
And not end all of it with just another fight
...

A little creature of the night
You hide behind the shadows of despair.
You weep and hope to see the light.
You hold onto the abstract, is it fair?
...

So softly you apply your mask
Your lipstick, pencil and your brush
How holy seems the dress
Such price could not be but divine
...

He came to her, yet she did not believe in what she saw
Dare I say he did no want to frighten her
She had no life but one they for her wrote
Still she remained a mime
...

You locked me underground
And walked away real fast
A prisoner of my own heart
I never thought such pain exists
...

His mommy wasn’t pretty
His daddy used to beat her
His daddy had disfigured her
His mommy wouldn’t leave his daddy
...

There was deep sorrow in his eyes
He looked at me and said
-We tried it all; I speak no lies
The baby was born dead
...

The air tonight does not feel right to me
I’m waiting at the door for you
Something inside me doesn’t feel right
All this rain tonight is scaring me to death
...
