ANGELDo not be sad, my Evil's Angel: Not everything has passed - the moan, passion. My tired soul was embracing With yearning on the injured graveyard. Do not raise bridges on the vault Of all absorbing bondages - The wastedness of shoots and nonsense Of years lost and useless words. Do make them pray for happiness, Do not defame yourself in filth. The Fate has closed verdict lying Upon my wrists and scoffs again. And - rendezvous with motif crazy Is ceasing. Knocking at the Night, Excreting cluster of excuses Naive, I'll take the rule of them. NUCLEUSThe creeping evening - I am tired of years, Shift moan-gaze from the wallpaper to the wreath Of blisses lost. My dream decayed as nucleus Primordial from futile rows of mine. There's no events - I carry the temptations To their grave: my soul - sobs violently and hands - in blood. I leaf through Night. And her miasmas Stole into my inside to rot the shame of strivings dead. Being fatted with success, Naiveness slept, Breaking prognoses with the memory of wasted days: The Fly has stiffen on the highest point, laughing At pseudomeaning of the formers to fall down painful more. ICONTransparent eyes, Affected tears Call to the soul's bottom Stronger than the Fate. And nothing more to say - Metamorphoses burn me Embroidering the summons To wash away the Slave. The obstinacy of Nought, The distances got blind... Caressing flowers perished With foam of the dreams. I put on leaves of bliss, I colour lying scaffold In the primordial trace To harden like a mad. Disfiguring Motif I glue up moan with verses, Insatiable words. I grasp with pain of years For roses strongest wish. I have been rotten, staying Alive as Skeleton Of debts to have been gnawed And have already gone.
Surmounting the Night I come to open space, To set for them the Candle Adhered to the hand. The Icon. They: my son And daughter - stolen By way of life, Landscape, Some trees... And Light... BLITZBeyond blinds of my youth - my years Remelt the Nothingness With fylfot of blisses to brighten The total with creation famine. The light on the lines painted Is frosting with aching act again Of "Do forgive me" play - To others - parts I'll hand. The dream of Past is spreading Behind my guilty windows - I'll stand on Edge to slam them: A step - and the fly is prejudged. The closed despondency torus Is rolling the Fate downwards. Confession is sprinkling with silence, With files of my years crushed. No, I don't fall to my knees, I do not spill the motif. Last gamble with my life as if blitz, Modulation of figures mort. CLOTBlind with my dream-ruins Of broken years and goals, Get stronger with word "senility", I'm kneading the clot Of soul's unleavened wares Nursed with foam of mob To satiate the life's last volume With stench. I will drink heart-rending Of corpse-debts, achievements Squeezed in luxurious paws Of the Fate lying to face, I cut off the terror's remainder, I burn up the Root by doubt To powder with ashes The way to nowhere - To be.... VOLUMEI thought in vain - The time is mine - no hurry. A foolish dream - My volume's full of life. I'm getting mute Embracing handful pages last Unread and having mark: "To afterwards". All wasteful surges Lot will overtake, That is expounded In alien volume-walls, Which're rotten With oblivion of Inside Rewarping lying dreams' refrain. I will approach Him And smile from pain, succumbing, Expecting final words In brutish feast of the ideas empty And poisoned gods... ILLUSIONRefugees of pity - The Thread over abyss is cut. The Past is split lengthwise: Extends alongside. Tumour is turning To moan, walled up Into Sore Time. Sweetness of fancies fattened, Pride in the empty, Lassitude of engine-desires Up to ashes. Illusion-consolation, Joy of unbound molecules Which the wind of chance Composes into initials down the Bottom Like specks of dust Smelling with cinders of arguments And dirty tricks. CRYINGCrying. I stand by the window - Everywhere there is that cruel silence of mine. Cri de coeur melts into the night, Extorting my daughter-hope. Time revenges for my lying role - I know it in my heart, but how to burn my failures? The phone has been done to death - With my dearest I've become a widower. Do not beat me with the past, I'm kissing the ground. What on earth shall I do? Get cool for good? The gibberish glides to the depths of my soul. How not to waste? - Write to write yourself out....
DREAMI dreamt of night -The garden of graves. Two steps - away Go the debts of my soul. The nimbus melted Extorting a moan. Stand still Life-cyclotron! I pray: do read A moment yelling, Do not dare leave Concealing your face. Please flood with Dream The stagnated Meaning To burn to ashes For Fate's encore. Forgive my wrecking And failures, soul selling. There's is the delirium - Mine is Work, Home, Morgue. I've stonily awoken - A ray is gliding Off the bottom of madness: I'll keep the coup inside me. N aivete gnaws, hurts, revenges. My Sin is dethroned - the fancy-realm AIDS. SUPERMANIFOLDDoom is covered with the snow of idylls - Whether to save my Light Or to clothe up My latest and inner worries In the mud of the etceteras? No! Fylfot of dreams Unspoken and unuttered, Caresses - Poisoned by the mind. Life's Supermanifold Lies In gibberish.... COASTThe coast of my gibberish is cut up By neglectfulness of senses. I'll burn my sinfulness to pay my debts to the night, I'll burn my sinfulness to pay my debts to the night. I'll soften in the colors of lines Of the thrown-away idylls - I'll forget the Passion cry, I'll forget the Passion cry. I'll carry out His words And take her white-lie kisses - I'll beautify my crypt by anguish, I'll beautify my crypt by anguish. I'm not afraid of the destroying Hope, I'll let out my moan to them Before I find the final peace, Before I find the final peace. Skinned by Him, all infinities Are ground on the table of my soul's dream - The realms of fancy are lapped by vileness: Weeping is an echo from the unknown Abyss. STARSStars have been named, myths have been crushed: I'm washing myself yelling lying truth. I'm slipping away, I'm wounded by the dawn - Tears have been dried out, children have been stolen. Meanings have been cut off, gods have been poisoned: I'm penetrating the Nothingness by Word. I'm betray ed by the past, on the future lies the ice mask Of the deal with Eternity - no time to waste. HEAR MEI am full of prayer Chalice has been thrown away. My liberation Is out of trouble. The breath of a straw Mowed down Has gotten cold. Begone! Futility of hatred Which has been fed up. The end of Dream - Underpaintedness of the past Chastity canvas: Please, hear me. O! Lord! Please, hear me, Please, hear.... PRAYERFather-God! Hide me from sorrows around me Father-God! Don't allow me to have those dreams. What should I do? To start my life from the beginning? How do You Permit the crying of my depth? Father-God! Tell me where do you keep Dreams? Have the goals, Here, been really false? Father-God! Answer with no offence, who are You? Maybe always I'm crying and crying to myself? FLOWERSTouching the flowers Of neglectfulness Sang The meaning of revival, Losing purposes, Motifs of the sincerely And weary Dream Burnt down the vital juice As the echoes of the void To wane in moan. In one throw to the immenseness Of the icy loneliness closet. On hands and knees from tenderness Of poisoned centuries. Give the inside scope of souls To the illnesses of conscience. The verse covered with sadness Is the tombstone-reproach For them - Has been irradiated By dream. CLEANINGAccords of centuries Are appealing in pangs To the scaffold to themselves. Giving up the hatred I'm bursting into the white sheet - Everywhere are my Lord and I. There are traits of His doctrine In the doubt-dreams - Whether I perceive the knife of Nothing? There is the guiltiness With the wrong waste - That life - for penny: Christ. My prayer is spreading To the home coast In defiance of passions. By love of the Lord, By caressing birch-rods I will cleanse my gaze to do it by myself. DIVORCEYelling I'll be divorced with myself - Not for the sake for the drama. I'll overyearn for the footprint Which is rotted through by Fate. My supermoan has been deceived By the strange meaning Of the inviolable pseudoyears. Stand up! Do not waste yourself For the Nothingness. Do not build in my heart the cathedral Diseased with the infidelity leucosis. I'll burn prognoses by the Star Calling into the Night. I'll stick together the roses With my guiltiness. I'm finding my daughter In one of them, In others.... My naivete - begone! QUANTIZATIONOur time Is quantized By our songs, Our perishableness Is revolted By our welcomes - Vomiting with primordiality, dreams Are overflowed with the soul fanatical cruelties. The delights Are slipping away After shadows, Which are sticking The quanta of time Into Nothing. The yelling Pain is germinating between offences - We only ne ed each other till death The indifference - To the justified Infidelities, Superperson - On the wall Of the supermind. The interminableness of the vanishing blisses - We are getting the Debts for the debts. The perversion - To the worn out Lying feelings, The revival - To the naivenesses Which are scattered On the mad waste of the heart-rending Words - They are alive with me, no matter how much you will burn me. DIVINE BEVERAGEThe world of illusions Is the divine beverage. The indispensableness of the courage Will absorb their aimlessness. Only by the beaten gladness And the hatred of evil You cannot multiply Their modulus of rage With the shamed maimedness. Stand still! The stiff gelatine Of the non-time. Please, squeeze Dream In the grip of despair And dwindle The nilpotent quagmire Of the non-space! Though I have not known The salty smell of the Sun: Do not hide your face! Please, give up yourself To the other march, To the spat fancy realm. PULLINGPulling a face I'm drinking again The space without you, And waiting, When Your, Watering with Dream, Gaze, Wearing the belly of malice, Gives birth To the compossibleness, Discarding nulls. Please, cover us With the Passion plaid, And do not set congeal In the artificiality night, Moving backwards to the glow Of the lying leprousness. Please, ta ke me For your second brush To become my third Dream superhemisphere. FLIGHTI love you, love you Up to the deep heart spasm. You are my poison desired, You are my soul orgasm. The lock of the uneasy years-days During which we were apart, They cry from the inside - I have grown into yourself by pain. The blinded blisses Of the two supernovas - It is a flight to the depth Of two hearts, like roses. INFINITE ATONEMENTIn that World, Like on the edge of a blade, Once again I'm catching at the air of the Soul. Smiling, I've been reared by the losses. What has remained for myself? - To write. What should I write, when the sticky Time Is cognized after its disappearance. On the off-chance I'm abandoned by everybody, My reflection is a withered skeleton. I'm making my bed for two For them, in my dream, not to appear from There. Till the morning I'm saving my warmth for nothing. Why, it will be neither these nor those. At that time, going mad with fear, I'll mottle my paper with the Infinity. Maybe, this is their atonement: I'll drink up everything which is getting cold On the Bottom. In that World, Like on the edge of a blade.... PHEOPHANIA'S NIGHTOutside the window two birds Were yelling into my meaning - The cut ached, The gibberish cried. I was racing my moan - The balcony infinite with ecstasy. I'll haven't no time to have a drink, I'll make myself to sew the ardour together From the Dream To cool down, To extort the cor diality for them: The mirror-like surface Of the apathetic heart-rendingness. Outside the window two birds Were tearing to pieces my life. The naiveness was asleep And alive with the Word. Pheophania's night Melts with the pain of the mind. The fancy realm - begone! The palette is slipping away - I'm trying to burn the sheet Which is the humus of my soul. Stand up, do not waste your gaze On the emptiness - there are debts Which are waiting for their sacrifice. SEMI -Semitruth and semiconscience, Semiargument and semilife. Semiworld? - Is not worth Fate. Semimemory? - Begone! - I forgot. Like the purge for souls, "Semi-" melts the circle of meaning - With the semireproach a semifoe Is lying that he is a semifriend. The sale with semifeelings, Food is semifinished. Semihusband-semibrother Is semifull up with semilove. Semipower is semifreedom, All are ashamed and make no complaint. Rejoicing semicaring We're semisleeping - backwards again? POINTBeing tortured with lie, I was alive with you - Its superlayer Between us Consumed the cut To the impossible. The couch has been built - Then I break into yelling to myself And go to my crypt-dungeon. Why, I see that my moan Isn't needed here - I'll disperse my haughtiness On the faces of words. The crowd made me sick - I'm standing up straight In front of the worst I'll reject the flattery Which is the tsarina of dreams. I am tired To the exhaustion By the poverty of sounds. Where do I find The pledge of years? The passionate and silly, Alien lips of love Cannot be torn away From the dead blisses. The footprint Of the naiveness - Rib crunch - is over - The gibberish Has mounted the moment. There is a row Of the Dream-like gravestones - The light gapes Out of the verse's point.... FLYINGNo, it's impossible to drive out - And why to rush about them? I'll never pacify Remains of my shameless conscience. I shan't forgive myself the treason, But who can define it? We're proving by yelling furiously That we have the right to be like this. While justifying the every step We're caressing ourselves without doubts, But we have no better blessings Besides the lust and laziness. Goodbye to all, may peace be with you, I've known inside me myself and yourself. I've broken away from the suffering sea - I'm flying to the start of all the beginnings. FEAST OF LONELINESSThe ardour was wintering - Inside me soul was driving. Whither? - I didn't know. She was counting out - I was counting on: And it did not tally... And the Malice, Softening with the Passion psalms, Squeezing her grin, Rushed. It was a stinking and eternal Ball, Orgies of caresses, The feast of loneliness - And the Salvation. FEVERBeing hold in the ice-hole of inconsolableness, I shall come to myself. I shall try to lie on the brazier not to b urn The mental city of mine with the uselessness. I'll tear off hatred from heartlessness, I'll get even with everyone who has lied, I'll braid fancy realm and gibberish into the cloth of feelings For nobody to kiss me ever. I'll move off the window only for the running start, I'll embrace to forget you fast, I shan't know for whom I was crying for the years. Are you passing away? - It is simply a fever. HAVINGHaving extorting the meaning, Stand still the exaltation - There is an awful lot of crushings As to the handful of the livings. The grin of the unwinking, The reproach of the saints - I'm sticking the moment Into the morbid ground. The guiltiness Will absorb the yelling about Everything having been wasted - On the bottom Me - an old man. Face will be opened For the last time - The Things which were stored up Will be whitewashed with Prayer. DAWNThe dawn Has stained my meaning With napalm. Oh! No! Do not betray The steel of dreams - Oh! Yeah! I am alive with Fullmoon. The distance of essence Is shining With the salvation Of a rush to the Nothingness - The Morgue Of the pious And guiltless Strivings. The delight Of the loneliness's Dream - The wheezing moan Of the exhaustedness Of evil - To Sorrow, To the naiveness of Time, To the imperishableness And gibberish. The inviolable Soul's outcast - The dawn. RADIATI ONMy air - Is the blinding flow of radiation. I gnaw it - And my life is wiped by X-rays. No! I don't want to decay on atoms! Do I go that way? - We are blamelessly squeezed. The quiet and calmness: "What's the matter, don't be afraid..." By what do you measure everything? You cannot get round The childish prattle And trembling of essence By the faith in the degrees of lie. So who is to be responsible?.. LIFEI have not been full of my praying delight And I have shrunken. What have I done? - The old man Is dispersed by hopelessness. The restlessness - The mind's evil - Reigns not there. The nonhuman delicacy Is not the Ray. Please, answer! Who is there? - The immenseness Of the morbid bondage. Oh! Priestess of dreams! - You are being poured over From head to foot By the nightmare. You are a lover Of the inconsolable and meek Corpses - LIFE! MELTINGMelting in the Naivete's pores Of my yelling and stretched soul Being swaddled by questions, Arguing with Heaven, The relaxion of doubts Are drugging me to infinite dreams' precipice - Please, write! Painting the night of meanings In a hundred of fresh and morbid flowers Becoming covered with vileness, I am holding my exaltation On the manege Of my helical pseudo-life Sewn in a slapdash manner From the bits of Dream. Making advances to the Fancy Realm's lash By the outer and tired< /B> From its insincerity ditch Of the marks warped with Depth, I am praising the same Face, I am having a foreboding about the scrap. The cruelty of lying-prophets' rules Will keep back the pouring of itself Into the abyss of them - But only for a moment. The thought will freeze with hope That this is not the last, The last of my verses.... PLAYING THE GAMEThe callous voice Of the inviolable Dream Is heard in the Night - Her rotten pieces Are caressing my throat. The graphomaniacs' chorus Is spattered with evil. My yelling is - Not the damp of bottom rhymes And not the house of verses Of trite and miserable metres: Being tipsy with my pain I drink myself, Extorting from my soul The meaning Of what I have been here, Why I have wasted all roles, Why I was swimming In the false direction And rowing with the false oar? - Yeah, I was simply living... Was praying... And was freezing Playing the game of change. GAZEDI gazed and stared - The outcast of Hades Is abased By neglectfulness. My moan, cool! Please, sleep! Incinerate a hundred times Non-life, Non-holiness: "And do not lie, Pilate!" The squalid passage - Leading where? - Towards the bottom of Heaven, It is laid With needles Charged by Dream. But who will wash My eyes with the Tear Till they bleed For the mirage to disappear? My Day - Ha s played The Coda, My passion - Has been crushed By Years. I shall forgive, I'm not waiting - I'm flying, flying, flying.... CURTAINNo! I haven't gone away - I only hate The Past, I'm irritated Devilishly That I'm alive. It's reckless inadvertence Of loving bitter enemies. I've seen growing faint - I have been tired. I have found Life As if for fun. But where is it, Where is, on earth, meaning And the heart-rending Call Saving me From the infinite fall. The last hall - Is the illusions' ball. And the curtain has fallen.... BLINDS ON THE YOUTHThe Night Is loosing her head By letting out Shadowy delights - I follow suit. It is impossible to overcome Tin of events By the unconsciousness. To edit The abated Cathedral of words Hardly tinkling - There is already No time and evil. The unperishable Soul's ashes Are drawing Blinds On the youth. INFINITY NIGHTOpened into the Infinity Night - The Earth has grown quiet For the betrayal Of the yester day. All perishable thoughts And painful scenes - Still linger here. The dawn is far away - There remained So many rubber minutes To be counted... The drops of rain Are hitting to the windows... The soul's fatigue.... FACEI see the grinning Face In reddish light a gain, I sing the final song And cry: Begone! My losses wait And try to hate All my false pasts To choose the last. I see the Stop And call the Hope, But His reply Is short: You die. US AND THEMMy love, your love Considered as continuations Have been, by now, killed. By whom? - By us And them. I'm gnawed, you're gnawed By loneliness and inspiration Of our torn up feelings. By whom? - By them And us. We try to laugh, To salute Freedom Station Which's melting into the crying mirage. Whose guilt? - Of us And them. We thought enough To close pagination Of our senseless story-building. For whom? - For them And us. WITHIN A HAIRSBREADTH OF LIFEYeah, I have known That I will not leave without purpose - The moment's dream is full of delicacy, evil. The arms of Fate, her eyes - almost alive - Do not allow me to sing the words of madness. I'm opening the nebula of gas as for the last, Nonburning and desirable time: I'm within a hairsbreadth of life - The call in my entrance room Is putting off the execution for an hour. There is the same deserted, rubber evening: What does this hour give, How many years has it stolen? In case you have no things By which to love and cry Let your inside sonnet exhaust itself With repetition. BONINESS OF TIMEThe boniness of Time Is drawing the piles Of Events Into the soul's depth, Without noticing That I'm still alive. Let the footprint Of desire melt Into the ashes of disbelief - Do not do that - I belong to you. But I'm in love In loneliness somewhat - Do not waste Your jealously in vain - Create yourself And us. Let Lie Full gallop and away Into worn out spume. Love - is Like Eternal Time. The last spectator-player, Laughing, Is climbing up The asymptotic stage Of Life To be melted into the Nite.... HORIZONMy horizon is torn to pieces - The crucifying was made by lead. I do not hear the Singing. The Fall love Full of ice Is warping and warping my dream. Let the lying beach Throw away to the moan. I am divorced with the false Inside of me. The thing, which is A captivity for them, Is my morgue of happiness, As the Naivete's vineyard Deceased in the rime of Dream. The smoke of seconds Has only enveloped The Call, Reminding with its odour That my ardour, Being ploughed up By the Neglectfulness, Is my soul's mad horseman Exhausted by the worst evil Of all-devouring And needless words. FULLMOONI was making Heaven's way to the Fullmoon's moan, I was growing faint from the bottom ineffableness Of soul soften by the crucifixion of madness Of our yelling mutual understanding. To learn the length of the ray turn away by gibberish Of Dream which is not perverted by care - And that is all, and my tears will stop to lie for Hope. I shall shovel meanings to become cool. I was making Heaven's way to the Fullmoon's moan: The Star was calling, My love has been burnt. The power of Grave - Was taking things Which belong her. When? I didn't know, I was sleeping with the sadness, And was making Heaven's way to the Fullmoon's moan.... BROADWAYWhere are you, the winds of mad joys? Where is the ardour of delights, sorrows, passions? They have parked the divine trembling Into the nonsense of fates - This is the soul's Broadway. Whose star's collapse is dragging Into the blackhole of mob? Whose poverty's crying is enveloped With the fancy realm's shiver? Who will fall into the Nothing When the Depth's supply of words Stops to turn up thoughts? With what to weaken the pity of the past and greed? With what to replace the sincere gibberish of Essence? To turn out the tirelessness, To make drunk the strangeness With the primordial meaning Which is absent? FIGHTINGI'm fighting with the Past in Hysterics - I'm rejecting the sweetmeat of Lie. I'll cast away the sweep-net of Happiness Into Dreams' Sea for Passion and Cry To be born from the grinning Naivete Of the thrown about yelling years - In them I'll forget the melancholiness Of blisses which haven't fulfilled. I'll convert the Laugh into Distress - This is a tiring theme. Let the nonprimordial desires' infinity Be melted into the Nothingness. I'm slipping away from the blade Of the poverty words' foam For the forth coming debts' cloister To be uncircumspectly destroyed. TORTURE-CHAMBERSThe torture-chambers of the meanness Are intimidating, Aching, Calling to the Nite. Do pour the moan over sincerity To melt in silence Among them - Let them be lying. Do soften the humus's yelling With wretchedness - I'm crying And kissing the ground. I'll curtain the essence With rays of constellations' light To hover as outcast. PHEOPHANIA'S RAINPheophania's rain - I am freezing from the snow Of cooling years Torn away by the Past. With what to surmount Their terrible Meaning Without desertion From the wearing blisses Of Naivete's backbittings. I'm opening the Dreams' Bin To endure anew The Bottom's theme hackneyed, Slipping into the Moan. How to learn without wasting That I'm ready without falsehood For insatiability of Bonds? - Smell is caressing the Vow. Pheophania's rain - There's the infinite beach Of the Hope tired to sleep And the words unuttered. Pheophania's rain - Depth cannot be surveyed With the emptiness Of your previous And hollow-cheeked Debts. AFTER YOUTHAfter youth I was being delirious with childhood, I didn't know where to run and how to live. The reality threatened with scantiness, Trying to poison with poverty. Rejecting hundreds of sure miseres, Whisting only the honest game, Throwing the maxi-lives about, I've comprehended the octopus of success. But where is th e infinities' dale Which I was deriving from the formulas of dreams? So only the depository of the inside sinfulness Was caressing and coddling with the bottom's stench. Oh! Truths rotted through with evil! Do not reflect the unfinished world. Shooting off with the leaves of youth From the loneliness's rapiers, I'm oiling the canvas with despondency, Which is yelling, grounded by myself: The gin of madness soldered in my soul Is hysterically whispering:"Be with your Dream". REFUGE OF HOPESThere is the efflorescene of Naivete On the hateful and delicate chains Of tired feelings, formal caressings - There are our children in it Who are also not interested in us. These are not us who have betrayed the ideas - Let the fury be drown in the mire of lie. But our greatgrandsons will be dare alive Till the dishonour only. There is nonabsoluteness of nonlaws, There is the hands' wood of the lying bonds Which're begging for the tampons of the past To convert the dye into blood, The cemetery into a meadow. Pity, there are no needless stoppings - Maladies are curing, Smoothing out they are beating us. Becoming pale we are waiting For turning, as though new ones - This is the refuge of hopes. BRANDI'm not putting a brand on them Leaving into space - There is no place. Their scalpel made by life Is tenderly kissing. I'm hoping, Burning down, I'm wearing myself - And sleeping. Yeah! These have long ago disappeared, There is the hearty laughter, Splash: The etheric wind of Time Is silent, And the diffidence of Dream Is angering, And the Grief Is consuming. IN THE CITYIn the wild city Disemboweled with poverty It is better to be proud Then to be fed about. Where should I go? - To the betrayer-Nite. The Shadows are squeezing my soul And governing my goals. If I knew the limit of myself - I'll be laughing boisterously, I'll want to spit On my false fate. Do learn more rapidly - Is it worth living or nonliving? The row of my insolent roles Germinates into Disgrace. BALLThe multicolored ball Of the dreams' smell Has been torn away. My soul Is not begging for the things Which have been gone away. Crying, The senility is gnawing me - The frost is on my skin. The Nite of pseudo-Life Is mowing her crop And carrying off my Meaning To the exhausting Couch, To multiply my shout with yelling, To multiply my mark with trace.... Oh! My Lord... My Lord... My Lord.... SCYTHE OF TIMEOh! You! The scythe of Time! Do stand still! Oh! You! The blade of Nothing, Set to the fancy realm - Be frozen To dream about yourself In future, To know That my footprint Has not been melted, That I Have not been successful In lying. Oh! You! The Goddess of wisdom, Senility! Do take me off The spears of the naive words - As prickles of the roses Desired - < P> Consume my Mind For the delight Of unforetold steps Behind the horizon, For empty peal of them That will come. But what's for me? Why me? I'm finished.... NIMBUSThe nimbus carbonized Has cut up The meaning absolute - Throughout. The peace exhausted Was tearing The whole inside of me To pieces - The layer after layer: Let evil come Into the poverty. The wastedness Was calling to the Nothing - Step after step. The power of lie Is the delight. The finality Was making years' moan way. Let the sweetmeat of Naivete Come to the reproach. I HAVEN'T NOTICEDI haven't noticed the senility - Nobody calls me and nobody asks me. My natal children are leading up Their children to the kindergarten. I've tired of running, but the memory Can be wiped by the Nothingness only. There are no events - there're no reasons For my soul to ail with the years. I have poured myself over the Past, But the pain has not been abated: There is the rubber of my nights... There is the cold of my bed.... BENDThere's the bend Of the Fate's Thread - The blow Is sliding On the Mode Of life. Oh! My Lord! Do not catch me On the sincere word Of love, Do not stand Around ahead Of the non-living. Please, open your eyes On the Poverty - I'm tired to burn down For the Bottom My last ray inside me. I'll force The stains to be washed By the offences' Calmlessness Of the obscene Reproach. I'm crying, praying, I'm waiting For the terror-day: The Nite is scoffing at me - I'll get drunk with the oblivion. FREEZINGFreezing in the night, my gibberish Has got free with a dream By the silence unrestrained. Oh, you! The infinite ball Of the downcast promises, Burning the jungles of years, Do abate! The last accord has been sung - The soul overyells the moan, Which is round the throat necklace Of the meeting with another soul. Riddling with the kisses, The vicious perron of Hope - Do burn out! The stupored Howl Of wind - The grown stiff Layer of ash I'll take, Contract - I'll go pass To my eternal rest.... BEING DELIRIOUSBeing delirious By the despair I shall burn up With the nonsense The whole World! - The settling tank Of the poverty's perfection, The inexhaustibleness Is spattered with ashes, The sick old man Is embracing the madness - He knows, knows, knows... Making the palette From the entire blackness And pain, The rejectingness Is in a hurry. Oh! Make your brush More fine - You see I am alive. EVENING'S FADEThe evening's Fadedness Has come in And is waiting. I'm crying, Driving it away, Frustrating - It is useless. It will promote The black conceptions' castle, It will shovel - The past, It will burn up brightness, Smooth out the nimbus And damage my dream. Stand still! The cyclic-moan Unlimited. I'm going out, Going for the candles.... GETTING COLDI want to get cold by the loneliness so much, But you are bringing me temptations in your hearts. I am preparing myself to be consumed by supercreativity - My eyes are blinding up with pins' flirtation in your hair. I'm sounding the alarm about the Time's loss - They're offering me the poverty's AIDS. How not to regain consciousness under the Naivete's tree, How not to waste my Mind for the Dream and Mode of Life? Do not bring out the odor of the all-permission, Don't kill the shadow you don't know whose of. Travelling all over the infinity Bottom of Conscience, I'm simply loving each of you as before. SURMISEThe light was glimmering That I shall not leave in vain. No! My Meaning has been sung out By the years' layers Squeezed in the poverty. I'll heat the Moan Guilted with the secular Wastednesses - A super-chime Has deafened The fancy realm With peals, I am overwhelmed By the surmise: Is Him or is not Him? Is Him or is not Him? Is Him or is not Him?.. PLAYHALLI have examined everybody - And what is the result? - The playhall was converting The heart-rendingness Into the good-for-nothing of the humus. Turning away The grin of the Eternity, Became white with frost, The illusions' ball Was betraying the life With the delight, Having travelled Over all facets, Putting together Forces and dreams Into the Naiveness Inviolable with ashes, I have reprayed the sufferings, I have bitten through the longings For my imperceptible crying To congeal into the Future. To my mother.... HEATINGI shall cover with tenderness Your crisp grave. There is the vast field Of the crosses cut off - I love it. I shall tear off The virgin weeds With the moan: "Forgive me". I shall heat your sleep With myself and the whispering: "Please. Stop. Yes. Wait". GOALI am madly happy - there is the loneliness. What I was striving for - I've already attained. I do not want to embrace the Lie of calmlessness. The Meaning of the life has appeared as the bottom's ash. That one is not in work and wives, In children and appointments: It's only in the changing movement of Mind - But let the mortals - forgive me. BONEI'm throwing away The bone to the Fate For being permitted To the impetuous city. Repressing the peace and pride, I'm trying to set ajar The cage into the World Of the dreams distorted. Do stop the super-moan Of madness. Everything - To be forgotten! Break up the pain Of the mind's exhaustedness Into the drops. < B> Waste up the empty role Which has named herself as life. Do weave The plaid of the fancy realm - The wisdom - From the word's infinity For not push aside A Moment into the oblivion's ditch. Do shorten out The power of Lie On the melancholy's weakness. Please, take me: let Death - into gladness. Do sleep - In remuneration To become not a mob. Softening the pseudopassion, Congeal my yelling - The last call: The gaze out of beyond.... THREE CEMETERIESThe finish is burning - The conception is melting You cannot condescend To yourself from the Bottom. Farewell the over-fervid world, Scoffing with the pseudovitality's dream Near the window of the untouched illusion - The cemetery-rooms Are attracting by the Love, The Childhood and the Natal. Their anxiety, The fancy realm of the loneliness, The Nothing's kissing, As the smoke of the nonparting, Allow me to fire through - It is not successful To ridden my footprint. I'm rousing my conscience With the leafing over of the inside For not to hear the trivial reply: Life is the multidimensional cemetery With the right of going there only From the clammy infinity of the passage Into my yelling lonely confinement Which is finely connected with the world By the threads of the soul's Refined verse-formulae. CASTLEThe noble riff-raff Is building the castle on the empty. The withered humanity Is soaring o ver the dome With a cross. Wasting the caution on the smoulder Of the imitatedness Of the oblivion's ice, Risking to become An everyday pronoun. JANUARYI am existing with the effort of will power I am not waiting for the kindness and not giving it I am not pinning the former days, But I'm not liking the present ones. I have endured all commotions, I have become in every of the guises. I cannot whitewash myself from the dirt's remainders: Having desired them so much. I have been so tired to deal out the needless precepts, To hope for the miracle, To trust that I will not Destruct everything again. But it is not simple to leave myself, How many times I have tried in vain. I have hardly lived out the Autumn of Life - So it is not far from its January. DUETOur mutual running one into the other is disconsolate, It is full of rebukes, is craving and tender: Being jealous we're waiting. The looked for coast is colored With insatiableness - We'll sing in duet the life's cough. The reveling of dreams is careful - If not that, who will help To attain yourself. The wounds of guiltiness are enticing Into the brilliant traps To embrace in a crunch. I'm praying: for us it's impossible Not to become the living steel. Goddess Of tears! Do weave From roses The carpet of primordiality, The fate and blessing! EMBRACINGEverlasting the inevitableness, Learning, submissively, About the day, When the successfulness, As the pse udosinfulness, To me appears as the virginness, I'll filter into the past to tears, Fighting my soul, Coloring my pain, To not burn up, From life the gathering Of the unpremediatedness replete, Of the uncalmlessness wicked - I'll burn down with prayer, As the blade of the gibberish, That World which I have not embraced By myself. BURNING UP THE LIFEBurning up the life Is trampling my Light In her embrace, Throwing into the furnace Of already other's years The painshed bits amputated From the soul mutilated. Oh! No! The sweet Naivete and the blindness Will not give back them to the call: There is the Time's dart-killer - Who, piercing, gives you more. It was long ago desired To yell: "Yes!" Towards the fetid Ditch of Dream. Do burn up now - It does not matter - I'll over-bear The vanishing remainder, I am exhausted... I'm hoary with ages... I'm melted.... GAZEThe gaze deserted By the oaths - She's lying. The garden, dead, Of Fate - I shall sing it To ashes. Was it a running start? - The running in the circle... The years bars Are crossing out the light To be changed into a resilient bed. The flight's - the fever, I'll be washed by evil. Let the flagstaff Of Past's delights - Be through and gone. To be with the needless rhyme Of Life, As with the solitary cell Of dream, Apart. The only Image Inviolable - Is pseudonarcosis. Here is a switch - The turning... And so a moment Has gotten smeared Over the empty Universe. SOONThe War will soon be here! - I can hardly breathe onto the Dust's pillow. The seeds of the Lie - Continue their atomic explosion. The country of poverty, Choking with the memory's sperm once again, Does pray to learn When the abscess will be cut to pieces. The War will soon be here! - Perversions do blind by Naiveness. It's not possible to swaddle The revivals with the follies of blisses. It's not possible to disperse The infinite ball of meanings with the blitzkrieg. The War will soon be here! - She's the collapse of honour and suffering... There's a foray of new nobodies.... SOULMy soul, Transparent from the pain, Has suddenly abated Near the precipice of years - It is sleeping Lightly. The mad feast Of the debts Is stinging to the yell. Is laying bare, Rotting my depths. Oh! No! Nay! I didn't beat! And I did not betray! The lying meaning Spilling on the motives, Is laughing At the wretched: "Tender is the Night". I was whitewashing Anew the tear, Freezing from power Of prevision, And have consumed it With the Bottom's ray. Oh! Yes! Yeah! Refusing, I was waiting.... CALL TO THE PASTDo not call to the Past: It is the frozen statues of feelings. Do not call to the Past: The eyelids of memory are Only trembling to the crunch. Let no good Wait at large away from the dream: The well-groomed Facade of the lie Will take away the gaze From the bottom for a moment. The worn-out wig of the years Is pricking the eyes With the needles of days: Do not call to the Past - If you wanna know the Cross over future. BODYOh, Body! - You are the insecure shield From the unsparing splashes of Life. My soul Is sickened by Naiveness: the AIDS of depths Will absorb the aspirations not to the end And will erect the gravestone of Reproach. Oh, Meanings which are extorting Lie! Do not protect the nakedness of the pattern Of your facelessness. When you understand That you have taken the regular robbery, Laughing, the Fate is threatening With the starvation once again. Be cold and separate the flying Of the extortedness and utilitarian passion, Do not be lost, while comprehending The ford of fancy realm, Adorn the dome of heaven With the supersacrificialness To melt in them with the unmeltable Happiness. HATREDI'll cut off hatred from sorrow, I'll be swaddled into the chime Of the wasted years - Who needs The poverty's moan, Having eaten away the memory? I'm thrusting into myself The fatigued gaze, I'm accusing my depths - Which forces will caress And give me to breathe once again. A moment has been stuck up Into the grave of moments - They sicken, They are living In those who believe, That the firs t moment and the last one Were given for them only. HOLDING MYSELFI live in vain To speak of gain About pain Of my dead brain. I love meanwhile The closed file Of wasteful life To miss its knife. I carry stone - Eternal moan Of mine, alone, To hold my own.... LINEYou are - my line, Symbols' handful, You're - wall to "non-I", Forgive me again. Dream's file by bytes Expels gibberish Interrupted by moan Of those absentees. Yelling, reading tear Of their despair, Waiting thunderstorm Of intersuffering, I place my cross On screen to Nothingness, Stopping Bottom's wrangle, I transpose text. You are - my line, Symbols' handful, You're - wall to "non-I", Forgive me again.... REFLECTIONSI expel my hatred Into basket for Passion - Their strange devotion Vexes night with pseudohappiness. Escaping to sacrificialness Of revenge neglected, Melting goals' bone With honour wasted, Grasping lie of flattery, Affectedness of meanings, Having died with fast dream, Taking knife of poverty, Yelling, passing through To stolen years' peal by thought, Reiterating living's moment By my childhood crushed, Annoying earnest With attempts to wash off gibberish, Hinting into sincerity To forget tender blisses' life, Interrupting rally-parade Of nonsensical myths, I'm closing shatters into town Of achievements without reefs. DRAWINGPastness jeers at the future, Crosses are melted by smoke, Meanings confess in the horrors' ward, Debt stiffs at uttermost line. Reiterating my prayer in dream, I stroll along brightness' outskirts again, Drink trouble to draft the drawing Of desperation on heart-rending wall. Generations are cut off by scalpel Of volte-faces rotted through with guilt, Haze's drawing above pseudocountry Is wiped off by calque of time. Repainting despair into hatred, I kneed moment on evil's palette, Cut to pieces crossroads of words By treasons of those who knew without grasping shoots. Having changed to imprint nonpersonal On the infinite's arrow to null, I set fire from the drawing to stars' condour And return to my bothering role.... EVERYBODYPitch darkness - Withered candles Overshadow, from gibberish, plot, Strange volumes. Farewell meets Tear to quanta the dawn Of seized feelings Filling with meaning Prejudging of followed dreams. Rushing to truth, I'm being pierced with thought: In the end everybody betrays. INSTEADInstead of her I melt in them - My love and word, And soul's anthem. Instead of my Having lived life out - Nobody shines From ashes' crowd. Instead of song - I cry the End And pray:"so long" My inside's land. Instead of death - I wait more roles To play the best Without goals. DAWN OF MINEPlease do stole me from madness to night. Oh! My Lord! Be ravaged, lead away Me along infinite's shoots into twilight, Into rotted through mucus of Time. Can't survive evil's vow with lying remorse, Can not waste that was unknown How to conserve from Naiveness, imploring Utterlessness not to whisper me end. Dawn of mine drags along passing line again, Predestined by Fate in vain On the pilfered dreams and idylls: Dawn of mine - is near lonely star. MOONEyes of the Moon - are hazel: Was so waiting for You evening and night, Searching the mirage of Pastness, Endeavouring to surmount the whole of it. Tear was smelling of alien, For a moment, filtering to moan, Deforming the principle to glue Delight from the sides crying. Having shivered of strange avenues, Having wasted the charge to live, Expelling motif-glumness, I forgave to wreathe Nothingness. I made from by-gone tenderness Your Image, having washed off entreaty Remains of ailing years, No powers to comprehend them. Made currentless by You anew, I've chosen without trade with Bottom Profession-pain, the Loneliness, To consume the volume in time. WITHOUT YOUWithout you - no reasons to live, Without you - stars are washed off With yelling of salty tears. Without you - I don't try to open Womanly bin, Sprinkled to smell. Without you - my Moment cools, Without you - goals are lost In poverty of inexperienced caresses. Without you - I don't look for Fate's thread Which is cut off longways, Is eaten by crowd-moth. Without you - our World can't be drunken out, Without you - ice-drifting of angry nights Melts the door into truth. Without you - "to be" remains, Not to soothe pain, To recover, to rise. Without you - no reasons to live.... PASSENGERI am only funny passenger Of the train passing Nowhere, Halts of cold apartments And fruitless searches have exhausted me. Forgotten, amusing, anxious I don't heat the window with breath. No end for annoying tiring roadsides - It's bottom of unavoidableness. Sleeping Earth - is patient cemetery Threatening with axe-crosses, Sharp-clawed evil's lightning-paws Crush my soul into futile cryings. Hopes are leaven for the moment's wind, Already nobody caresses my pain, In my eyes as behind shutters white, There's endless anguish of life.
DOWNPOURDownpour - by window, Snow - inside me. Selection of mine: Let you - Sin. Fire - to my back, Sheaf - of betrayals. Edge - near me, Stop - of Naiveness. On my table, list Of mundane affairs, Splash of ideas, Sonnet - has been sung. Downpour - by window, Snow - inside me.... WREATHI lay guilty's wreath on pseudopastness, I transpose their portraits - into night. Paint despondency splash into impossibility To transform casual strangers - into Daughter. They are sorrowfully crying for mundane losses, Joys, caresses and lying dreams. Irritating with bruises of debts I'm so tired measuring spiral's coils. Do not cut the thread of holy frontier to Eternity, Call of Nothing outstrips in fervour Of the goals unachieved: unconcern Of impending words, in which I already was, torment. Stepping aside from Passion's mirror up to gunfire, Calming sincerity with exploded ashes, I hide abandonedness in first test of the thought That the marriage with my shuttle Fate has broken. LEAVESPeeping in my room Leaves are shunted by sorrow, Crossing out my living By heart-rending whispering. Tossing in hysterics, like a beast, Letting all confidence - to walls, I cry "beware!" To immoderate longings. They torment my inside, Insole and call to you - So many reasons forced To see or phone. Covering myself with impossibility To get closer our past, I stay to be alive Behind my face curved by grief. HATEDo hate your Fate For losing door Into disgrace To wish no more. Do lay on grave Of lying smile Without stay To close survival. Do try to fight With inner sins, Forgetting light From wrong way things. Do feel hot steel Of coming guns Perverting bill By stolen runs. Do make your brain Be free from null, Do sit in train Of yelling Rule. Forgive me reef Of wasting goals - My last belief Became a role. FILEMe not to strive to open file of new relations - Wall white: you, Loneliness, screen's points - empty imitations. They say the same, they love as if they drink turned beer, My bare and hard inside for them is only function m ere. I'm praying: bill me, God, I'll pay my soul's arrears Before your long-awaited word-appeal makes me disappear. Last plot of the inevitable downfall burns low, My dreams were perfectly betrayed and shot. I go.... WINDOWAwakening... her alien bed.... I'm sick and drunk, And full of mad Emotions, feelings Memories.... My Lord! Forgive me - Set me free From ugly loneliness And stone Of bared reproach less Than moan. I saw Trance Window To the dark - Its wind was burying Last soul's mark....
QUITTINGI've quitted living - What to rush about On circles clutching with the Bottom? To whitewash Motive, To shoot at former myself - What happens then? I have begun To burn my path return By other people, other goals. Tornado freezing Of my crucified soul Connects two faces Of the Host. I've drunk up laugh By which before I fed my sickness, breaking Secretly from them. I slide towards the Hope With mouth disfigured by offence. I've quitted living - No answers To forest of reproaches, reasons. I've quitted living - Being caught by the Eternal: My final bar, My needless verse - I'm singing still alone... INCORRECT DREAMNext morning I see the incorrect dream: I am in the Past, fall in love, dearest - alive. Torturing odour of hands ungentle, The feast of habitual vices. Knock - suddenly: She came without permission. Sobbing. The Fate yellingly p rayed - as one ought. Fever. The branches of terrible Hope rot behind window - Split with abyss of losses, I accept demolition, But only as playing from above, laughing Converting the maiden-pain into my line. Next morning I see the incorrect dream: I am in the Past, fall in love, dearest - alive...
SIEVETurning over pages of streets split Of alien cities' warped bodies, I asked the Shadow over them swirling Whence execution of dreams comes. The meaning bespattered cuts off the meeting With blows of beggars and lashes of gods: Next the flight - the sieve of partings Will sift the remainder of nonsensical words. I smooth the design of transmutting to tendernees With hackneyed gestures of mannered days Not living on negligence of empty sub-texts For a long time, which is harsher than death. RENDEZVOUSAnew I make a date for the Past Having gnawed by crowd countless times, By the dream of excuses, Unwearying, warming myself Over Fate painted by death. I try to surmount the meaning On which my soul's space is held, I writhe in life's dance - Bottom's flares Scatter the night of Hatred. I drink the estrangement's beverage, Transparent and pestered, Diluted with ring of tears. My yelling is absorbed with intimacy - I conseal the hollow-cheekedness With the sheet warped by the line. ALIENI'm not a stranger - I am - a man, Love - inner changes, Have - what I can. I'm not an alien Among memories - Searching for spelling Of supreme tries. Twisting the spaces Of different lies, I melt in traces Of pain - not to die.
