Bay. And maybe the river. I do not know. There were clouds. They no longer exist. Lit dawn.
But somewhere out there, but here – I do not know from where the light, thanks to some miracle.
I remember … he shines himself, but he owes his ecstasy and pearls, and emerald.
Here I was just ago Eternity.
I swam, I saw the tip of poluvozdushnoy sushi – cape
losing yourself as a thought, and these rocks – their grins covered flexible sand,
and where not work as templates, lichen lay diagonally …

and … when you have to start over, get back here again,
rest and again look his way, he would lead you to a dear friend,
and the beginning it will be difficult to remember
get lost again and again have to start over,
and then come here.
These places will be different, but you will find them.

1A Love Story

In Scotland, there is a legend about St. Bridget, which is one of the three most revered saints in the United Kingdom. One day she came to Saint Patrick and complained about the heavy proportion of women suffering from unrequited love. Holy resented that women were forbidden to be active in the relationship that they have to wait on men marriage proposal, and so sometimes remain for life in the old maid. Saint Patrick supported Brigitte in her concern for women and allowed the latter to “exercise such activity”, but ……… on February 29.

February 29, 1288 in the Scottish Parliament was passed an unusual law according to which a man, who refused to marry a woman who made ??him an offer of marriage, was required to pay a fine. Prerequisite for the emergence and adoption of this law, as the story goes, was the “shortage” of men in the country. As men-knights literally thousands perished in wars, on the knightly tournaments and matches.

Therefore lords of the Scottish Parliament, concerned about the increasing number of spinsters in the noble and ancient lineages, approved the law and declared that henceforth and forever on this day – 29 February every woman in the state itself has the ability to make a proposal of marriage to the man. And if he refuses the marriage, it is obliged to pay her family is quite impressive for the time penalty – 1 pound.

From fines and could be released, but only if the man argued that the already engaged to another woman and imagined his chosen representatives of the law and the “pretender” on his arm.

Pretty quickly, this tradition, approved by law, has spread like across Scotland, and then the UK, and in the neighboring countries. And one time in four years the fair sex had the legal right, discarding all the conventions and rules of etiquette, suggest the elects hand and heart (even if they did not want this, and).

However, how many marriages were made based on the results of February 29 after the introduction of the law in the country in historical documents, unfortunately, did not survive.

I – the wind.
I am weak. I – just a movement
Invisible light air currents,
In an effort leaves – my reflection,
In flight, minutes,
In moving,
Sliding clouds in the sky high.

I – the wind.
I am looking for you. Where are you, well, where is it?
You need me – is light, tender and bright.
To you I touch softly and gently,
To many, I’m so touched – yes, sinful.
Do you want to – judge. What’s the use?
I – the wind.

I – the wind.
Open house windows and doors,
And I’ll be a shadow walking behind you,
I did not buy, not sell, can not be measured,
And do not even taste it, you can really believe
I – air. I’m not even a penny.

I – the wind.
I’m blind. I break trees
And the roof and walls – I did not notice them.
With me – the storm gusts, Eclipse,
And, make no mistake, coming repetitions
Do you want to – I’m sorry. What’s the use?
I – the wind.

I – is free.
Lend me more palm
I’ll have to dance strange dances,
But do not close them. Understand and remember,
I – the wind. Always follow you in the pursuit,
But do not exist in a confined space ………

What made the girls …

We are woven out of miracles, surprises, mysteries and little secrets …
of music, animated dreams, confusion and laughter …
the beauty of the world in us!

She turns from the heart, turning into a colorful rainbow
and we are becoming evident for many miles,
for a number of years
for the many unspoken words …

Not true, not over us abyss, not the darkness –
Catalogue of reward and retribution.
We admire the night zodiac,
To eternal tango constellations.

Looking threw his head up,
In silence, the mystery and eternity.
It tracks the fate of our age, and instant
Marked as invisible milestones
That can store and protect us.

And can frolic without fear of Taurus
On the bright tracts of May.

He straightened them in noble metal
And the mystery became available.

My old Goethe burns in the garden foliage
And he smiles, their doctors did not believe.
All in anticipation of spring. dripping time
In iskhlёstannuyu wind darkness.

In the immortal dictionary land –
We both bombers with thee,
We sense set free,
By the words denoting the void.

Speak! Without saying a word –
Hearty battle, cracked lips.
Speak besslёznostyu familiar
That dropped on paper sound.

Under the long rain interspersed with poems –
Go, Go, Go-to-kill!
In your spring
In free motion,
In slip of white petals.

By raging seas
We walk here and there
And no we are not calling
On a visit.

And above us – the black flag,
And on the flag – white sign:
human skeleton
And the bones!

By raging seas
The will of our ships,
All that the sea gives us,
Divide in half!
Yo ho ho!

MAGIC OF MUSIC

Full Moon interferes with sleep,
Dawit brightness and silence.
I can not avoid insomnia …
On the moon, the day off.

If suddenly a little luck –
It all depends on the willingness of stars –
Book into space Lunolet,
The best to quickly drove.

At midnight the moon knock hotel
The barman ask seriously:
“Bring me a cocktail:
Mix of clouds and moon dreams. ”
I drink and listen to the quiet blues –
He looks like your music.

I’m on the ground for a long time not go down,
Watching the sky star rain …
And then forget the quiet sleep
And I do not remember about the night of sadness.
Moonlight for your window
Before dawn gently spreading.
