Poem - Love

LOVE Alexey Kalakutin (Russia)

So many songs, poems and legends

about magical love. Who is she,

creating a sweet moment

when there is no appetite and sleep?

Don't try to find the answer

with the faithful help of our brains,

you won't find it. The brain does not know the way

to the kingdom of the heart where love rules.

Don't try to find love

among hundreds of the most beautiful faces,

don't try to apply yourself

the strength of the feelings of the yellowed pages.

It is useless to guess on the cards:

Combination of queens-kings

they won't show you

your flower in endless fields.

And don't you dare rush love:

Everything will come at its appointed time,

the fateful thread will lead

and will point to a flower.

Fate rewards those who wait!

If the meeting is destined

the Lord will certainly gather them

and he will weave two into one in tender sentiment.

If it's a disease, then I created

it is not harmful to health.

As symptoms are felt, the door

Open it up and take it all the way!
