A paradise for eyes

A beautiful woman, vital, sensual, intelligent and loving is for eyes a paradise, exalts full of love the soul and is the launcher of mysterious effervescent erotic amorous state.

Gregorian Bivolaru

Ах, улыбнись...

Ах, улыбнись, в оставленных домах,
Где ты живешь средь вороха бумаг
И запаха увянувших цветов,
Мне не найти оставленных следов.
Я различу на улице твой взмах.
Как хорошо в оставленных домах
Любить одних и находить других.
Из комнат бесконечно дорогих
Любовью умолкающей дыша,
На век уйти куда-нибудь спеша.
Ах, улыбнись, ах, улыбнись, во след махни рукой.
Когда на миг все люди замолчат,
Не далеко за цинковой рекой
Твои шаги на целый мир звучат.
Останься на нагревшемся мосту,
Роняй цветы в ночную пустоту,
Когда река блестит из темноты,
Всю ночь несет в Голландию цветы.

И. Бродский

O woman...

O woman, you are not merely the
handiwork of God, but also of men;
these are ever endowing you with
beauty from their hearts.
Poets are weaving for you a web
with threads of golden imagery;
painters are giving your form ever
new immortality.

Rabindranath Tagore

Endless time

Time is endless in thy hands, my lord.
There is none to count thy minutes.

Days and nights pass and ages bloom and fade like flowers.
Thou knowest how to wait.

Thy centuries follow each other perfecting a small wild flower.

We have no time to lose,
and having no time we must scramble for a chance.
We are too poor to be late.

And thus it is that time goes by
while I give it to every querulous man who claims it,
and thine altar is empty of all offerings to the last.

At the end of the day I hasten in fear lest thy gate be shut;
but I find that yet there is time. 

Rabindranath Tagore

If

If you can disentangle
yourself from your selfish self

all heavenly spirits

will stand ready to serve you.

If you can finally hunt down

your own beastly self

you have the right

to claim Solomon's kingdom.

You are that blessed soul who

belongs to the garden of paradise

is it fair to let yourself

fall apart in a shattered house.

You are the bird of happiness

in the magic of existence

what a pity when you let

yourself be chained and caged.

But if you can break free

from this dark prison named body

soon you will see

you are the sage and the fountain of life.
