LAST NIGHT

Let me to breathe for a bit, fervent

Love doesn’t allowed me to sleep last

Night, however I tried my best to call

The rosy dream, attempted to touch

The moonlight, made an endeavor to

Dissolve the fragrance of your body in

My persona, an unknown shadow was

Hiding all the time, a glimpse of your

Beautiful eyes chased me all the time,

In illusion of you love, I forgot to shut

The doors, perfume of tuber night lilies

Penetrated in the soul, as they perhaps

Oppressed my bare muscles, nerves -

Chest, lower abdominal arena, arms

Thighs, might be they seized my body

Moreover, they had fun with lunatic way,

When I felt wet sensation, woke up,

Closed the window, doors, sweet softness

Proximity Of your presence didn’t permit

Me to sleep again, I sat before the mirror

Moonlit flowers of terrace wanted to say

Silently, a little note for you, I wore

The loose robe, reached near them

Looked them, they had been altered

Stunningly in beauty of your persona, they

Again lit the cold flame of my moisturized

Body, I bathed alone in the flow of

Moonlight, the gown itself fell down on

The Floor, I didn’t know, experienced only

Your governance in my each limbs, in the

Soul, through the heartthrob, I couldn’t

Sleep intact night, just I thought for you,
