PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My translation of one of my favourite verses from Russian to English 

Author - Robert Rozdestvenskiy 

Be more breakable, please 

I beg you to be

And I'd present to you 

a marvel 

for free. 

And I'd grow, 

I'd increase 

became the one special. 

From the house 

on fire would bring you

If that's essential.  

I'd fall to all unknown 

all vague 

without a clue. 

Into deep 

and rough sea 

would plunge 

for 

saving you. 

It'd be ordered by heart 

heart 

is ordering. 

But you're sure 

to be stronger 

than me

and more confident.  

You're the first who is ready 

to salve 

others' depression.  

You're not 

fearing  

neither 

snowstorm 

nor conflagration. 

Will not stray

will not draw

will not 

hoard up 

the spite.

Will not let 

out a howl 

If you decide. 

Will be fluid, 

light-headed 

If you decide- 

I fell weak and unsteady 

being by your side. 

Just on purpose

For second- 

I ask you

(but if I was capable ? )

Aid me trust to myself - 

be more breakable.
