1.
The melancholy of Autumn
that governs nowadays
is going to the bottom:
The Winter at the gates...
2.
You may drink the wine of words
ten times, twenty, thirty...
On the mental outskirts
you will still be thirsty.
3.
Sitting at your desk at night,
searching for a word,
you, for sure, not only write -
but create a world!
4.
It's cloudy or sunny -
for me it's just all right:
I'm writing not for money
but what I WANT to write!
5.
It's the Poet's highest duty
that can never be withdrawn -
to express the world of beauty
in the real world of storm.
6.
I'm secretly proud
of drinking MY wine:
The taste of the crowd
is not that of mine!
7.
Some like it hot,
some like it cool...
I say: 'Why not? -
The feelings rule!'
