On The Ice Rink Poem by Liza Sud

On The Ice Rink

Very soon there will be snow,
and we'll run to the ice rink.
Where people easily flow
like the swirling thoughts of a dream.

Love and tenderness on the skate rink.
But I'm not from the human race,
I am from sapphire angels,
they live here, just parallel.

Oh, I miss you, sapphire angel,
want to swirl here only with you!
But it seems to be fear and danger
to stare for so long at you!

Because your thoughts are like thousands
of our thoughts in a spot,
and you embed them in our minds
with all power of gods!

You are the real tyrants
of our small silly worlds!
You are the ruling Sapphires,
envoys of loving God!

***
В скором времени выпадет снег,
и мы все побежим на каток,
там, где люди кружатся легко,
так, как мысли кружатся в мечте.

На катке будет - нежность и любовь,
только я - не из рода людей,
мой - сапфировых ангелов - род,
параллельно они живут, здесь.

Я скучаю, сапфировый ангел,
и кружиться хочу - лишь с тобой!
и мне кажется страшно, опасно,
в твое долго глядеться лицо.

Ведь как тысячи - мысли твои,
сумма тысячи наших идей,
ты их в наши внедряешь мозги,
со всей властью божественной в ней.

Ты и вправду как истый тиран
для простых наших, мелких миров,
Ты - Сапфир в управление нам,
ты - посланник любимых Богов!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This poem begins with such innocent displays of fun and frolic but then it suddenly gets very serious. The skating seems to parallel angelic flight for humans. But the speaker is conscious of the presence of angels with their tremendous power in reserve. Elizaveta, your sapphire angels remind me of the Angels in Rilke's DUINO ELEGIES, and that is an amazing connection Both Pasternak and Tsvetaeva corresponded with Rilke. Tsvetaeva told him, YOU ARE NOT JUST GREAT POET, YOU ARE POETRY ITSELF. And I feel that special awe before your Sapphire Angels that Rilke invested in his Angels.
