LOVE 

Alexey Kalakutin (Russia)

So many songs, poems and legends
about magical love. Who is she,
creating a sweet moment
when there is no appetite and sleep?

Don't try to find the answer
with the faithful help of our brains,
you won't find it. The brain does not know the way
to the kingdom of the heart where love rules.

Don't try to find love
among hundreds of the most beautiful faces,
don't try to apply yourself
the strength of the feelings of the yellowed pages.

It is useless to guess on the cards:
Combination of queens-kings
they won't show you
your flower in endless fields.

And don't you dare rush love:
Everything will come at its appointed time,
the fateful thread will lead
and will point to a flower.

Fate rewards those who wait!
If the meeting is destined
the Lord will certainly gather them
and he will weave two into one in tender sentiment.

If it's a disease, then I created
it is not harmful to health.
As symptoms are felt, the door
Open it up and take it all the way!
