Galina Italyanskaya Poems

The universe seems to be
A puzzle I must assemble
A million pieces, disordered and crumbled
And two of them - you and me
...

You buried me a year ago
Before my time
Before my death
You said: 'She's gone'
...

The world around me has vanished, lost in the night
All things and thoughts seem fallen in some black hole
The wires are ruptured, the sky is flashing with light
Or, maybe, it's the result of my last default
...

When hope is gone,
No stars, no sun,
Despair is deep.
Your nights pass by,
...

Autumn is cryptic -
Gather anonymous mail,
Leafing it through:
Yellow and purple and red,
...

A friend of mine says poetry
When written in a foreign language
Is rootless
For only native tongue and culture
...

One more car passed me by today
I am coming back, home and dry
It's a wonder, I know you pray
When it passes, you breathe a sigh
...

Good bye?
Ok, if you wish, hon
I know
You're too gentle to bear time
...

It's always my favourite paint
The colour of sunny skies
Awaking my dream, my faith
The shine of your loving eyes
...

Beware of love that you cannot touch with your hand,
No matter how smart and beautiful it appears.
You fall in there and build your castle on the sand.
Be cautious, or you will end up in bitter tears.
...
