All I can see is that light
through the narrow gap
It was alluding and captivated me
I can see golden dust flying
I tried to reach it and grab them
With my pale and weak hands
All my tires went in vain
I can see shadows walking outside
They are very familiar to me
Voices no longer matters and
Language does not exist in me
I don’t dream these days
All I see is that golden dust
Its enthralling to my soul
I call it hope and
I call this dark room “my home”

Some external links: The Bat’s Poetry Cave. — Fledermaus’s poetry site. Talking Writing Monster. — the irreverent and irrelevant chatter on subjects both serious and not quite. A free for all board. You can scribble anything on it without registration (but it doesn’t let spammers in). You can even post your poems. Qwant.com. — a search engine from France. It’s an alternative because there are a few alternatives, like Bing, Duckduckgo, and Ecosia. And there is Yandex, the ultimate language-oriented search engine for the Russophone world. Commercial Links: Russian Commerce – the foreign trade assistance agency Other links: Poems and poetry in Russian (if you are reading this in English, as you obviously are, then you’d have to switch the language, the language switch is on the menu.
