Ilya Shambat Poems

The golden tree, The Tree of Life -
Into its shadow I will dive
And feast upon the blessed fruit
Then dig until the very root.
...

The Golden One
Turns to me when I am sleeping
And says, I love you.
The Golden One
...

We made a bubble of our minds -
Connected over the distance -
Our nerves together intertwined
And in their center, Our Existence -
...

not in life will i ever forget you
even if i don't see you again
even if all i feel is regret and
a sharp uncontrollable pain
...

They dressed the table to make peace
Between the Mid-East and the West
With their sweet accents Lebanese
And souls steeped in divine unrest
...

The heaven in her mind
Has no boundaries or separation
No darkness
No edges
...

To embrace you with blue horizon
And enfold you with starry night
Means to see through the man's devising
And by Passion to set it right.
...

I will become your mirror
Showing you what you are
Making your beauty clear -
Clear as a shooting star -
...

Summer skies are your eyes
Crater lakes are your eyes
Mixing a thousand essences
And perfectly clear.
...

"Abyss has opened, full of stars" - Lomonosov

Abyss has opened full of stars.
Pluto to Venus, Moon to Mars -
