The Ballad of The New Year s Eve

Димитрий Саныч Назаров
New  Moon was bored in a cloud mist,
He threw his glance in my  room and what he’s seen -
There are  six of  guests who have been enlist,
And  only one place in a table   is  empty and clean.

It’s my husband , the friends of mine and me, 
Celebrating together The  New Year’s Eve   ...
But what’s that blood on my hands that I feel,   
Why does  the wine  burn  like a grieve ? 

The Host was momentous and very calm,
When  he  was raising     glass .
“I drink for our native grounds  ,
Where they have  buried us !”

My friend  ,who was looking into my face ,
Reminding him  God Knows what ,  exclaimed   
 “I would  like to drink for the poems  of her,
Where we are forever sound and saved !”

The  Third one, who  could remember  none   
About the moment he passed  ,
To my  thoughts in response, he said:
“We have to drink a pledge  for  the one   , 
Who has not appeared  yet ...”.
