My honey, you are insanely beautiful,
The man who sees you loses his head.
I understood this truth. So I'm very careful,
And I always stay behind, not ahead.
You are like that Queen of Egypt Cleopatra,
Which killed the great Caesar and Mark Antony.
I'm not some kind of Egyptian god Ra!
Such a sad and full of passion story.
I admired you and every day I wrote a sonnet,
I thought about you every moment.
I'm like a songbird caught in your net.
Now I have become quiet and silent.
Therefore like it, I sometime hold my tongue:
Because I would not dull you with my song.*
* The last two lines from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 102. My love is strengthen'd, though more weak in seeming.

They say, the world will be saved by beauty!
But crazy beauty… may be rather dangerous!
Be careful!!!

Thanks, dear Natalie, for your rewie!
Once at the metro station I saw a poster: Protect your life from fire!
What do you think, dear Natalie, what did that mean?
My best regards!

I think, dear Yuri, that means you
should be careful and protect your life!
Fire can warm us (save) and burn (destroy)
at the same time.
Sense of proportion is always in order.
Don’t play with fire!
