You Should Show Me A Wonderful Dance Poem by Liza Sud

You Should Show Me A Wonderful Dance

You should show me a wonderful dance
because that is how you inspire me,
for me, you - as a Muse, you are young,
and caress by intonations' beams.

What should I do in winter alone here?
and the more you are not near me.
Sestroretsk is in dark, flowed by snow,
no smile, no good view.

I am tied to a chair, like by chain,
in the place of yours - is emptiness,
but beyond inflorescences interstellar
through the verses of the soul flies away.

And it is not cramped in body and place,
but I'm close to you somewhere,
let nobody believe we are together,
through the word you breathe with me one air!

***

Ты чудесно станцуй для меня,
ибо этим меня вдохновляешь,
для меня ты - как Муза, юна,
и в лучах интонаций ласкаешь.

Что мне делать одной здесь зимой?
и тем более нет тебя рядом.
Сестрорецк заметен темнотой,
ни улыбки, ни доброго взгляда.

Я привязана к стулу, как цепью,
а на месте твоем - пустота,
но за рамки межзвездных соцветий
сквозь стихи улетает душа.

И не тесно ей в теле и месте,
но она где-то рядом с тобой,
пусть не верит никто, что мы вместе,
но сквозь слово ты дышишь со мной!

This poem makes dancing become a kind of flight. And in the last lines the movement reaches a very particular destination. Although feeling imprisoned and trapped, the speaker feels the presence of her Muse and the chains and restraints dont matter anymore because she is inspired and the poems will come forth. And ultimately there will be no distinction between the air that keeps the body alive and the inspiration which keeps the soul inspired. The ecstatic tone serves this theme very well.

Spirtitual and transcendent. Beautifully lyrical. The rhythm and pace truly move like a dance. Thank you for this beautiful piece.
