If Esenin And Balmont Were Playing Cards Poem by Liza Sud

If Esenin and Balmont were playing cards somehow,
Then the poet Esenin would would have the Ace of hearts -
It is his sensuality, melodiousness and loving.
But the other three aces - only Balmont would have.

The reason why is simple - small atheist Esenin:
After all, before heaven - more to him is the earth,
For there will be no more women or wine in heaven,
Caress's too little for Balmont, powerful is his soul!

Melodiousness and chanting - earthiness of the spirit
Soulfulness and complaisance, but there is shallow depth.
Balmont is Universal and too refined his Hearing,
Symbol, Abstraction, Heart and gigantism of the Brain.

Sad, that the Poet of poets was for long banned in Russia.
And the consumer of taverns - in fashion always has.
Sentimentality - Worms-hearts, Only The Poet's Power -
Close to dreams, where the Imperious Beauty Loves.
