Where were you?

I would dig it out and tell you if I knew why I was doing it?
I have just checked - there are 62 poems in there - not keen on listing all of them.
That’s what I was thinking.
She might have lucked out by checking Amazon, to see if they were showing the inside of this book – but they aren’t. Guess she might have to buy it for $10 and look (and maybe even read!!). :)
oh it’s jst i’m trying to find this poem and it’s so annoying…. ok it’s a complicated story but basically i found the translation of this poem in russian and it says on the web-site that is is from a the collection of poems called rapture and if to translate the name of the poem from russian to english then it would be Ascension so i thought if there wasnt many poems i could jst work out which one it is but i guess it will have to be more complicated thn that…
Maybe I can help you if you describe the poem to me.
You

I was wondering that myself.
okey, here u go…
Thought of by you all day, i think of you.
The birds sing in the shelter of a tree.
Above the prayer of rain, unacred blue,
not paradise, goes nowhere endlessly.
How does it happen that our lives can drift
far from our selves, while we stay trapped in time,
queuing for death? It seems nothing will shift
the pattern of our days, alter the rhyme
we make with loss to assonance with bliss.
Then love comes, like a sudden flight of birds
from earth to heaven after rain. Your kiss,
recalled, unstrings, like pearls, this chain of words.
Huge skies connect us, joining here to there.
Desire and passion on the thinking air.
It is such a well put together poem.
The line ‘we make with loss to assonance with bliss’ is assonance itself.
no wonder i fell in love with it :)
btw can help me with the line “Your kiss, / recalled, unstrings, like pearls, this chain of words.” cause i really don’t understand how a kiss unstring a chain of words….
I don’t understand this part:
… It seems nothing will shift
the pattern of our days, alter the rhyme
we make with loss to assonance with bliss.
I love the poem though. Do you have the Russian? I know a man who speaks it and could translate …
Oh, I get it - it was written in English but translated TO Russian?

Yep :)
Haha, the way she’s getting treated like a criminal for wanting to know about a poem.
