Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to my dearest friends,
Living on different and beautiful Lands!
Merry Christmas to all – big and small!
Merry Christmas to you and you, and you!
To all those who say more often “hello” than “adieu”.

To those who are always know and sure
That tomorrow will certainly come,
That our world is blithesome and ...

The 22nd of December
The longest night,
The shortest day
The 22nd of December.
The Sun turns into another way
Putting more warmth into the amber,
Into the humans hearts that pray
For love, for peace, for happiness,
For Merry Christmas!
The 22nd of December!
The Sun has got its own reasons
To differentiate the seasons.
And Jesus Christ birth

Tango
The beginning is timid
time has not any limit.
magic movements are slow,
we dance the tango of love.
It's the music of feelings,
bliss and passion revealing,
dance of flight and explosion
of hidden love.
When we part it’s only for a moment
Dance of love will never end, be sure.
The beginning is timid
and it's not so vivid,
then it turns into wild

The Trumpeter
The war was all around
And the city was small.
The doctors laughed at him,
He was not like de Gaulle.
Well, may be the trumpeter?
OK, trumpeter, as a trumpeter!
Being a trumpeter is so good,
At least you don’t have to bow.
The bullets whistle over your head,
As the winds sometimes blow.
But why it happened like that?

How Many Questions Our Life Arise?
Not looking at anybody doesn’t mean not to see,
To do the things you like doesn’t mean to be free.
To be at the very verge of life doesn’t mean to die.
And standing on the ground doesn’t mean not to fly.
And how much to pepper so that all could be well?
And how much to sugar to sweeten the hell?
To live a normal life doesn’t mean not to dream.
But how long to ...

OK, I agree! It’s their right to fight
With the things they don’t like.

But … sorry to say that,

Someone comforted, didn’t blame,
Someone said: life goes on,

He never squabbles or swears,
Only about his wife he cares.

Days and nights repeats: You are my honey!
Out of the rest he is much wiser,
He is not poor or a miser.

Confuses them, not letting me sleep.

To look for a fairy kingdom,
With different people to talk.
You want to know whose you are,
Where your love lives.
