To Lermontov

Apr 17
1 min read

Holding your portrait against my bosom

I felt how much you needed warmth

Sunshine in your tear-filled eyes

And solace for your soul

Lermontov - my friend

Suffer not - no more

The world is the same

It would disillusion you again

And subject you to intolerable pain ...

Your 'demon' was an honest sort

At least for a moment, he had thought

Of finer feelings, love and care

But today, your 'demon' would just blankly stare

Paralysed, frozen, with fear bare

Scared, scared, scared ...

Of the present, changing extremely fast

He would be safer in the past!

No longer would he be brilliant and brave

No longer would he lead you

To thy mother's grave

And again stir your doubts

Of love and hate

When you'd question life, death, fate

Arresting the attention of Almighty God!

No. Come back not,

Lermontov, my soulmate

Stay where you are

At peace

Far, far, far!
