Poems...

Love and death. When you finish fighting, You return home, When you need to get some sleep And you need to be yourself; But you take out your sword And put on your old helmet. You are among battles and among skirmishes And you don't see everyday problems; And at home, She is waiting for You, Who thinks only of You, Who is so beautiful and slender, But she gave you to War. And a tear falls quietly... And a wet shawl lies... And in your memory are Your eyes And a gaze that breaks granite. "She doesn't remember you anymore," Your enemies say again. But you ride on your horse With blood and dust on your boots! And You come again and again And you give roses and thorns. What is it? Maybe it's love, Or maybe it's glimpses of love. Because soon You will leave again. She will remain alone. When You are killing, Love will perish without a trace. And again, banners in the wind! And again, You shout: "Hooray!" And I will say, and I won't lie: "Damn you, War!" JackFromShadowLand 1997 Added after 22 hours 48 minutes Aglaya. She loved to cast spells, But I don't judge her, And you would understand me, If you saw Aglaya. The sun rose at dawn, And set exactly at sunset, And the spells that lived with her Sparkled like stars on her dress. I didn't look for easy ways: The path to the heart of a witch is a storm. Among countless battles, passions She threw herself into the fray with magic. I was helpless and weak, And her magic was all-powerful. And, like a carefree slave of love, I subjected myself to violence. But I learned to cast spells, And I practiced day and night, I knew what I was doing then, When I confessed my love to her. And here is the finale, the war of worlds, Planets disappeared into the abyss, I tried to snatch love, Aglaya craved revenge. But finally, she surrendered, And smiled unintentionally, God heard the prayers, our passion, Became an example and a lesson. And remembering those times, When rocks flew from the sky, I smile: we were then, Alas, like children, right... She loved to cast spells, But I don't judge her, And you would understand me, If you saw Aglaya. JackFromShadowLand 1999
