Poetryzine Magazine presents the selected poems by the Russian poet Alexander Kabishev
What is Christmas?
What is Christmas?
Tell me please!
Just a way happiness
To increase?
What is Christmas?
I want to know!
Is it a season?
Full of snow?
What is Christmas?
For you friends?
This is something
That never ends!
What is Christmas?
We all know
Plays for us
an important role!
I choose to believe.
I choose to believe.
I choose to forgive
I choose to remember.
I choose simple – life!
I choose to accept.
I choose one more time
I choose not to give up
And I choose still to fight!
I choose to love my family
I choose to be proud of my friends
This poem is now gone
But my choice never ends!
Without faith
Can humans live without a faith?
I guess so – can,
But how will it be?
Let’s quickly see.
Human lose hope,
And lose all the skills,
Which was before?
Heals his/her deepest soul.
Humans without – present, past
As long as live and bio last
Only about things in touch
With love, friendship – let’s this pass.
Of course, we can imagine this
But I’m not sure – is this a peace?
What will be happening if his/her is dead?
I think no one will regret!
School memories
I remember my school days,
This time was a lot of ways:
Ways for study or for fun,
Now I see this all like one.
How it was? You tell me, please!
I want my memory to increase.
We were all children in school,
Now grown up and of knowledge full.
Teachers, friends, my study books
And the strongest – Mr. Fuks.
Here a lot of events were
I believe no, that now ends!
Well, I remember all so hard,
But I still keep school in heart.
Guess you also had this time,
Friend, please tell me – is this a lie?
Toys
In past we all keep some nice things,
But that time wasn’t I really think,
How close for us they can be then
And I still want to play again!
What is it? Simple answer – toys!
In what of children all enjoy.
They were our friends, they were our soul
And unlimited playing role.
I like a lot my old now, toys
And this is a difficult choice
Forget them, block out – this is a crime!
And I will back for them one time.
Easy life
Before life was easy more enough
And wasn’t full so many stuff.
The day was longer more so far
And I was happy like a star.
That time I was just kindness kid
And bad things wasn’t able meet,
But now I changed – this is true,
I hide this deep even from you.
I still remember easy days,
Unfortunately – there is no ways
For back to them – they in the past,
I hope the easy life will last!
Kids' dreams
When I was child – I had dreams
They were like random my mind streams
Ideas, wishes, plans and some more,
While I was playing on the floor.
This happened recently or calm,
I was in company or one?
Whatever did that time or knew
The wind of dream was always blew.
What dream this was and what purpose?
I haven’t any kind of thoughts
Yes, I forgot this all kid dreams
And I just join new times and teams.
To parents
This poem difficult to write
So I decided to invite
My parents – just simple mum and dad,
To write all lines with no regret.
From what to start? I feel few shy…
What topics should I here combine?
I no idea this still hard
So from begin and I should start.
I was a baby, I was kid
In school was study, friends my meet.
What I was feel – this your support
And also my respect effort.
Continue… That more then nice
And all suggestion was so wise
I like the time you looks with pride
This always makes me be so kind.
What in the end should say – thank you!
My mother, father – I love you!
This poems thanks is not enough
To show how much I both you love!
Sun and childhood
The sunny weather is today
That mean on street I can go play.
Today I old and clouds in the sky
I feel so bad and nature cry.
Blew warm wind and all trees was green
I feel the sun kiss on my skin
Today so cold and wind with snow
And all things go out of control.
I was a child, it was sun
But even now I am not one.
The sun still shine and sky still blue
My childhood gone – that’s what I knew!
