My Window

By Sergey Skudaev

My window looks at a fairy tree.
Its branches bend and twist.
Its leaves are whispering with glee
Its hallow makes a whistle.

A little river under the tree
Is running through the fog.
And a marvelous song amazes me
Performed by a tiny frog.

 

Spring in the Woods

By Sergey Skudaev

I will dip my hands in the spring,
destroy my reflection in the water
and forget my past.
I will drink the sweet water
from my cold palms and become young.
The water will run through my fingers.
An unknown bird will cry in the forest
and I will believe
I have never lived on the earth before
and will never die.

 

Bird´s Song

By Sergey Skudaev

When I listen to you, sorry,
I am not always attentive to what you are saying
because your speech for me is
like a singing of a bird.
And when one is listening to a bird's song,
one is not thinking about its contents for
one is just listening to enjoy its sound.

 

Getting Old

By Sergey Skudaev

I was so happy, smart and pink,
I could consume a pail.
I am getting old. I cannot drink.
I am boring, sad and pale.

If I drink coffee it's decaffed.
If I have day it's blue.
If I have car it's handicapped.
If I have guest it's flu...

 

Evething is Down

By Sergey Skudaev

Everything is down until dawn.
Don't, don't go in town!
All windows are slow.
Ghost walking in the glow...
All paths are crooked.
Shut windows don't look!

 

One´s Dream

By Sergey Skudaev

I would like to be
A heavy, round rock,
Laying on the side
Of an endless road.
Blocking no one's way.
Drawing no attention,
Holding the whole world
In my serene mind,
Thinking...

 

THE RUSSIAN WAY

By Sergey Skudaev

I was born in a wrong century.
Sometimes such mistakes happen.
Since I've been wandering
        around the world
and littering pieces
       of my needless soul.
I do not wish anything,
And I'm not sorry
       for what I lost.
My joy and sorrow
              had burnt
in flame of autumn.
While I'm drinking vodka,
       a starlit face of the night
with a crooked smile
       of the moon's quarter
hangs down in my window.
