Shvedchikov, PhD, LittD International Poet of Merit (RUSSIA) © Адольф Шведчиков (РОССИЯ) THE POET HAS A SPECIAL BLESSED GIFT The poet has a special blessed gift, a different vision. His poems are ready to take in the thunderstorms and violence! He may bridle easily any wild mustang! He may reflect all hues of sensuality and pain In a capricious rhythm of Argentinean tango. Only a poet may describe the passion of a stormy fire of love! He is an omniscient genius Who has a special gift of an eternal harmony! ПОЭТУ ДАН ОСОБЫЙ БОЖИЙ ДАР Поэту дан особый божий дар, Он видит мир как в первый день творенья, И каждое его стихотворенье Вобрать готово вновь в резервуар Все проливные летние дожди С громами и безумною грозою, В нём всё бурлит, волнуется, покоя Поверь, читатель, больше ты не жди! Отваги полн, готов он обуздать Любого непокорного мустанга, Способен он в капризном ритме танго Всю чувственность и страстность передать. Любви мятежной яростный пожар Один поэт лишь описать сумеет, Всевластный гений, мир пред ним бледнеет, Гармонии ему отпущен дар!
