Roman Nikolaev Poems

Three hours of flight,
three thousand kilometers
and an immediate impulse keep us together
...

I shall be fierce and grim with the emotions
That squeeze my throat and do not let me speak
I stand against those cold and bloodless creatures
With hate of those who thought me to be weak
...

That abandoned dry well still recalls those who passed and who fell
Their tears and blood sprinkled into the well’s deep pure heart;
When you find it, do not fade away as they did,
But you should try to dwell as a mermaid in the deep and cold well
...

It can bring all the pain that a man suffers from;
Let thy wish be upon all my years remained!
Out of a precious stone I’ve carved my destiny -
Very much consolation for the problems I’ve had
...

“I need some sugar, ” she told me not understanding that sugar needs her
Those tiny particles of white pleasure lay on her tongue partially melting in the saliva
One would envy when I watched her swallow what was left
“Sugar is life, ” she said, oh my sugar lady
...

I wrote a poem for you and saved it on the phone

but then it was deleted by mistake,
...

I see you in every thing;
In an open bottle of wine,
That has spoilt the life of a man,
In a tree with its descending branches
...

“My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun…”
W. Shakespeare, Sonnet CXXX

Sonnet
...

***
When I’ll return where once I’d lived
I’ll find an empty lonely town
With birds that don’t know how to sing
...

Let my meaningless years begin!
I’m a swan in the flock of crows.
Don’t forgive me my fearless sin,
That I have loved you much ever so
...
