Two poems in Eglish of Inver Sheudjen - Poet from Russia

 

1. "О ЧЁМ МОЛЧИШЬ ПОЭТ ПОЛНОЧНЫЙ..."

WHAT ARE YOU SILENT ABOUT, POET MIDNIGHT...

What are you silent about, poet midnight

When the silent city sleeps

About whom, at this к hour

The tired soul yours hurting keeps.

While leaning over the lines tiredly

What thoughts do come to you

Or memory bared a sting in

Or devastated by anguish subdue!

Or maybe we tear apart with pain

You remembered in silence about her

About the one you called Assolya

Loving, in the days of youth infer...

About the one who gifted happiness

And fervor with mad tenderness did fill

It’s not even in God's power

To give back love days and instill …

Is it about this, at an wrong hour

When the quiet city sleeps

Hiding midnight-ones in reflections

Your soul, the poet silent keeps...

2. "Я МИРОМ ГОВОРЮ СТИХАМИ."

I SPEAK IN POEMS TO THE WORLD ...

I speak with the world in poems

Ornate lines of string,

Lays down in torn rows

Pain and joy, won’t bring ...

I open my soul wide

Your starting dialogue as fable

I laugh, I feel sad and I ask

For polished rhyming syllable.

Insomnia, separation, happiness

Spring, confessions, swifts,

Beloved that thin wrist

And passion revived in silence.

I throw images like paints

On a white sheet, the soul aflame,

Tearing off half-truths of the mask.

In semitones, not sinning not blame ...

And this burden is not easy

My cross is the gifted lyre

So that the born line is fine

I'll throw it at my feet and aspire,

I met the dawn ... my reader

You a friend and a critic, at the same time,

Here the creator suggested,

I speak in poems in rhyme.

I speak with the world in poems,

What I could not be silent about.

Without covering the pain with my hands

Grinding every syllable with my heart ...
