Raisa Melnikova [Lithuania]
The origins of poetry (and other three poems)
From the whisper of birches,
from the tears of a cuckoo,
from streams beckoning with coolness,
from fragrant grasses on the edge of a forest
a ray of poetry has broken through as a sprout.
From the interweaving of hands,
of lips touching,
of suffering, of hearts squeezed with pain,
from unforgettable ghostly moments
a lyrical crown is woven.
From the lace of words,
from a rainbow of excitement,
from the oncoming sea wave,
from admiration, painful doubts
the motives of poetry are born.
In the anxious silence of a crystal night
under the rustling of trembling stars
the firmament will prophesy to the poet
a bridge carrying him to immortality.
On the stairs
On the stairs
what leads up
there is no blues, no inertia.
“On the road” -
called Homer.
There are stairs along the way.
Indispensable showers and snow.
Ups,
there are falls.
In a triangle
heaven - earth - man,
Mortal has inspiration.
You get there on foot
you won't move in
to the gangway by stagecoach.
There's a word
flies up like an eagle
over the inevitable space.
On the life path
earthly
staircases fatally meet,
and from the stairs -
word by letter,
which is written with the heart.
Meridians
Neighboring meridians
rushed under the gusts of wind -
hearts were covered with wounds,
but the dawns were pink.
Roads were paved with fogs,
and threads were woven by the Moirae,
and nameless rivers flowed
in invisible corridors.
In spring theaters of ghostly
nests the desired ones curled,
in the usually refined manner
novels were born and lasted.
And time spread out in numbers.
Chestnuts changed their appearance.
Seasonally,
the nearest meridians hunched over with leaves.
And suddenly the tones changed.
Fountains gushed from the magma,
meridians closed
in the bends of living reality.
Smells seem cherry,
and nights explode with stars,
dreams - like sapphires in a frame -
still disturb our souls.
Morning fantasy with a butterfly
A butterfly,
raising the morning silence
on its fantastic wings,
allows a good sleep to continue,
confusing the unprecedented with reality.
Butterfly wings,
like a wonderful dawn,
keeping the secret of legends,
change space,
vary color,
to know, nature is a wonderful designer.
And keeping the flowing time
in the palms,
aesthetically bright moment.
Appreciating objectivity -
I have no wealth.
The butterfly’s touch is preserved.
赖莎·梅尔尼科娃[立陶宛]
诗歌之源（外三首）
从白桦树的低语中，
布谷鸟的泪水中，
清凉小溪的召唤中，
森林边缘的芬芳草丛中，
一束诗意如嫩芽般破土而出。
从手与手的交织，
唇与唇的触碰，
从苦难中，被痛苦挤压的心中，
从难忘的幽灵时刻中，
一首抒情的王冠编织而出。
从文字的蕾丝中，
兴奋的彩虹中，
即将到来的海浪中，
钦佩，痛苦的怀疑中，
诗歌的动机诞生。
在一个水晶般夜晚的焦虑寂静中，
颤抖星辰的低语下，
苍穹将向诗人预言，
一座桥将他带往永生。
在楼梯上
在通往楼上的
楼梯上
没有惰性，没有忧郁。
“在路上”——
被称为荷马。
沿途有楼梯。
必不可少的雪与阵雨。
上坡，
也有下坡。
在一个三角形中
天堂——地球——人类，
凡人拥有灵感。
您步行到达那里
您不会乘坐公共马车进入
舷梯。
有一个词
像鹰一样高飞
在必然的空间之上。
在人生之路上，
尘世的
楼梯不可避免地相遇，
从楼梯上——
字字句句，
都是用心书写的。
经络
邻近的经络
在狂风中奔涌——
心上布满了伤口，
但黎明是粉红色。
道路被雾气铺就，
生命之线由命运女神摩伊拉编织，
无名的河流
在隐形的通道中流动。
在春季的幽灵巢穴剧场里，
渴望者蜷缩着，
以通常精致的方式
小说诞生且延续了下来。
时间以数字展开。
栗子改变了它们的外观。
随着季节的更替，
最近的经络被叶子压弯。
突然间，音调改变。
喷泉从岩浆中喷涌而出，
经络闭合
在生活现实的弯道处。
气味如樱桃般芬芳，
夜晚如星辰般璀璨，
梦境——如镶嵌在画框中的蓝宝石——
仍扰乱着我们的心性。
关于蝴蝶的晨间遐想
一只蝴蝶，
用它奇妙的翅膀
托起清晨的寂静，
让一场好梦继续，
将那前所未有的与现实混同。
蝴蝶的翅膀，
宛若一道绚丽的曙光，
保留着传说的秘密，
改变空间，
多彩多姿，
终知，大自然是一位绝妙的设计师。
将流动的时间
握于掌心，
美学上现出灿烂的时刻。
欣赏客观性——
我没有财富。
对蝴蝶的感触得以保存。
