You Were The Harbor Of Desire, Poem by Liza Sud

You Were The Harbor Of Desire,

You were the harbor of desire,
You held the ocean of the kiss.
And I was there for your loving,
And I was born it all to drink.

Oh who am I - to drink the ocean?
Oh who am I to learn the salt of tears?
Oh I am not a genuis poet
like Balmont, Brodsky or Shakespeare.

And I don't want to be a poet,
I want to be a happy girl.
And follow you wherever you go
And taste whatever you will drop.

I follow with my glance each movement,
each trembling of sweat shake,
It's not obsession or inducement,
That is what for this world was made!

***
Ты был пристанью желаний,
ты был океаном веры,
а я - для твоих лобзаний,
чтоб пить их все, как пену.

кто я, чтоб знать слез соленость?
кто я - чтоб пить океаны?
ведь я же не гений слова,
как Бродский, Шекспир и Бальмонт.

Я быть не хочу поэтом,
Лишь девочкой, полной счастья,
идти с тобой на край света,
и вкус ловить в каждой капле.

Слежу за каждым движеньем,
и трепетом сладкой дрожи,
о это не принужденье,
а то, зачем мир был создан!

Wow! Wow! ! I want to live with this poem for awhile.I just discovered it this morning and I'm getting ready to go to the Wesleyan Church after breakfast with Robert and Sonya. But I'll be in your virtual presence all day.
