Maple leaf came down on the shoulder And, trembling, fell to my knees, But his hands to catch it in time. From the withered herbs I want to save him. Maple leaf is fraught with heat Colors of all ages and generations. Trembling and falling autumn leaf... I'll keep it, winds out of spite. I raznotsvet him pressed against the chest. And my memory will recall the years of childhood, Cozy patio, friendly neighborhood And a sense that everything is still ahead. Will remind me of my first kiss, the blush of the cheeks, and like heart was pounding... And then wanted to warm up, And light up in the light of the moon jets. Maple leaf I bring home And put in your volume of poetry. Dozens of secrets kept between the lines. Maple leaf, like you and me. Elena Zmachinskaya
