*This is another one of my translations of A. Pushkin. I can't sleep; the light is out; Chasing senseless dreams in gloom. Clocks at once, inside my room, Somewhere next to me, resound. Parcae’s soft and mild chatter, Sleeping twilight’s noisy flutter, Life’s commotion -- so insane.. Why am I to feel this pain? What’s your meaning, boring mumble? Disapproving, do you grumble Of the day I spent in vain? What has made you so compelling? Are you calling or foretelling? I just want to understand, Thus I’m seeking your intent...

Serenity, thank you kindly for your comments... I'm glad that I can share A. Pushkin's poetic ability with you, but believe me my translations do not do him justice! Thank you again. Lorraine, I'm glad you liked it! |

"my bed is pulling me. gravity" - R.E.M daysleeper Oh I know this well, I hate insomnia. I mean you spend hours trying to do something that most nights comes naturally. good poem I liked this maybe I should hang this up on my bed room wall and when I can't sleep at night I can read it and at least know I am not alone. lol |

" Douglas Adams. Small Black Flowers That Grow In The Sky "You have your very own number They dress your cage in its nature Once you roared now you just grunt lame Pace around pathetic pound games Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick For the outside, The small black flowers that grow in the sky They drag sticks along your walls Harvest your ovaries dead mothers crawl Here comes warden, Christ, temple, elder Environment not yours you see through it all Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick For the outside, The small black flowers that grow in the sky Here chewing your tail is joy" Richey Edwards |

AAAGGGHHH Insomnia, welcome to my nighttime door... would I seek you again, once more, for without you the night I abhor and write and write, forevermore... Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
