Everything is not like from, but to z,
And now everything that is needed is not needed.
Here comes the beginning of September,
Rainy, alien autumn has come.

And throwing leaves in the face,
Drives cold midnights into its paws.
How much can you end up with?
As if we are not human, and bastards.

These gray houses,
These puddles... and dirty streets,
Drive me crazy with their sadness,
Make me tremble and stoop.

And I just want one thing:
A warm blanket, a mug of tea with jam,
And sit in silence in front of the window,
Enjoy a wonderful moment.

#poems#autumn#landscapelyrics#alone

alone you talk to God...

#thoughts#alone by yourself

Tell me, my friend, did you live today:
Did you look at the sky full of azure?
And the wind, the leaves, how many souls they have!
And the disk of the Moon, slightly touched by brass!

Tell me, my friend, did you live today:
Did you look at the sky, just like in childhood?
Stop! Take a look and don't rush.
Be with nature for at least a minute.

#poems#alone

So sometimes you want to feel sad,
And drink hot coffee while sitting in an armchair.
I so want to forget and forget...
And throw away everything that is out of place.
I so want to hide in silence
And let go of all thoughts before dawn.
To be alone for a while,
As if there is nothing else in the World.
And I want to not think about anything,
Look out the window - how the rain dances in the puddles,
Like water runs on glass in a stream ...
Hope that someone needs you.

#sad#rains#thoughts#autumn#alone

When you lose contact with inner silence, you lose contact with yourself. When you lose contact with yourself, you lose yourself in the world!

Eckhart Tolle

#thoughts#alone

The most terrible thing in a person's life is poor health, the absence of one's own roof over one's head and the inevitability that there are no opportunities, abilities and strength to change all this in the future.

#survival#thoughts#alone

Flakes of the night are gone and melted in the morning glare.
Pale coffee-gloss pre-dawn fog.
Dawn breaks red in the east like a handful of strawberries,
Blinding me with bright light on a wet highway...

I'm rushing to nowhere along a winding road in the rocks,
And a winding serpentine leads me further and further.
The counter incrementally adds the number of kilometers in the end,
The indifferent motor devours gasoline carnivorously ...

Silence. Only the tires rustle with emery on the pavement,
Klaus Meine's voice sings about the winds of change...
Fate cheated again: she didn't give me the trump card.
But don't talk about sad things... Or, as they say: tout va bien...

And no one will overtake, no one will cut on the track.
They are still sleeping at an early hour - this time has been given to me ...
I step on the gas, multiplying the acceleration by the mass in my mind
And, caught up by force, I slide along the road wave . ..

Lanterns fly towards me and road signs ...
Feeling of freedom ... running through the dew…
Like a wild deer… Dogs are behind everyone…
There is a special charm in a wet highway waking up…

approx. tout va bien - everything will be fine

#poems#reflections#alone

The globe is spinning under us,
And the sky is spinning above us,
My head is spinning with happiness when with you
I am your echo, your echo.

I am grateful to heaven that I live,
For this life, for our meeting,
Where everyday life is so much like a game,
And every move is like a challenge to the light.

And if it's raining, then a rainbow over it,
And if it's a blizzard, it's a dance of plump snowflakes,
And there's always an intelligent genie on hand
Gracefully builds castles out of sand and ice floes.

And the paths are all spread out like a net
On the fields of the spacious Runet,
Don't be sad, don't wait in vain,
When one day you don't get an answer from me.

#alonely#good mood

Being alone with yourself, people begin to hear themselves, some begin to love loneliness, others are afraid.

#alone

A person needs sometimes to be alone so that nothing prevents him from sorting himself out…

#thoughts#alone by himself

We appear once.
This world accepts us,
Where there are many of us, but still every
He walks forward alone.
How can, as much as there is enough will,
Patience, wisdom and strength.
You say - one is not a warrior!
Is he alone in the field?
After all, there is a family, friends, colleagues.
Help - stretch out your hand.
I agree. But in fact,
We are always alone in soul.
There is a world that cannot be penetrated
To all those who are close, dear to us.
We will sort it out ourselves,
Only we will manage it.
The medal has two sides.
And people also have two of them:
We are known by one, outside,
We hide the second in ourselves.
One - for everyone and everyone is familiar,
But without the second it is nothing.
We create our foundation in it,
It has a genuine inside,
It contains our essence without cutting,
It contains the kitchen of inner passions,
In it we are without gloss and blende.
We are real only in it.

#poems#alone

It's better to cry alone at night in the dark,
And in the daytime, pretending to light up with a smile...,
Than to look for flaws about you in memory,
And I want to stay good.

#verses#alone#alone

I woke up in the morning without you, and there was anxiety in my soul,
You are there, and I am alone again,
Alone with my feelings and problems.
It seems already familiar,
But as soon as I hear your name,
Everything turns upside down inside,
And from outside they only say:
"Time heals." Hmm,
These two words have replaced the word life for me.
But it’s true, I don’t live or breathe without you,
I almost stopped sleeping,
Since all the time I think only about you.
