Pamiętasz…

Ты помнишь дворец великанов...

Pamiętasz ten pałac tytanów,
Tam, gdzie basen z rybami był,
Aleje wysokich platanów
I w tle wieże z kamiennych brył?

Jak koń złotogrzywy przy wieżach,
Wykrzesywał spod kopyt skry,
I czaprak z frędzlami po brzegach
Wzorami się mienił i skrzył?

Pamiętasz, jak między chmurami
Karnisza ujrzeliśmy cień,
Skąd gwiazdy winnymi gronami
Spadały, gdy kończył się dzień?

A teraz mówimy otwarcie,
Zmienił nas wartki bieg zdarzeń,
Być może, jesteśmy już twardzi,
Ale dalecy od marzeń.

Choć nadal cudowni my ludzie,
Ładne imiona i ciała,
Lecz martwej, nużącej nas nudzie
Dusza na zawsze oddana.

I obyśmy nie zapomnieli,
Bo pamięć figle chce płatać,
Ten czas, gdy tak bardzo kochali,
Kiedy umieliśmy latać.

Giraffe

Today, I can see that your glance is especially sad, / And hands are especially thin and the hair if up fluff. / Hey, listen, as far as in Africa, down at lake Chad / Is walking a graceful Giraffe. / / He's owing that elegance, slender and languor he is, / Such beautiful patterns are sh...

The Gates of Paradise

There are no seven diamond seals to close / the eternal gates of God's great paradise / it has no tempting charms, no beckoning glow / and to the people remains unrecognized. / / a doorway in a wall long since forsaken / a mass of stones and moss and nothing more. / nearby, a beggar, ...

A portrait of a man

His eyes are lightless underground lakes, / Abandoned castles of the ancient kings. / Marked with the sign of the eternal shame / Of that, the Other One, he never speaks. / The deepest wound, his mouth, dark and purple, / Made with a blade borne of the deadly poison; / And it is sad and ...

I`m dreaming that both of us dead…

I'm dreaming that both of us dead. / We're lying - so peaceful for ever. / Two white heavy coffins of lead / Put down together. / / And when did we say that "enough"? / What for then and what means the trying? / But strange that's not aching my heart, / My heart is not crying. / ...

Unperturbed and indifferent sun contemplated the planet / There all was infested with terror and eaten by rot, / There rocks in the distance appeared a huge shaggy dog, / There black boiling copper spewed out collapsing volcanoes. / Was the night of the world. / / Unexpectedly rolled i...
