Poetry by Liana Margiva


Remember me, O Lord,
When I ascend to thy heavenly kingdom,
The kingdom of darkness and death.
Remember the one who suffered
Great misery on this Earth.

I longed for love like I longed for thee
Who looked down at my grief
With disbelief and contempt.
I was content with meager bits of bliss
Thou sent my way so I can bear
The burden of my wretched life.

I sought love like a busy bee
Seeks flower all bright and fresh,
Eager to fill my home
With fragrance and with joy
Of budding love.

It warmed my soul in chilliness of night,
But only to deliver
Another ruthless blow
And cast me into the abyss of pain.

My heart was pierced by the merciless thorns,
Love flower’s generous gifts.
Blood oozed from jagged wounds
And fragile petals soaked.

I am a soldier on the battlefield of love
Exhausted and all bloodied by the fight
Yet always living through the hell of battle
And craving for one more.

Remember me, O Lord, this is I
Who sought deceptive sweetness of Love
Like wretched pilgrim seeks a blessed well
Amidst scorched desert under glaring Sun.

I longed to taste love potion sweet and fresh
To quench my thirst on my eternal quest.
Alas, it was for naught.

Remember me, O Lord,
When I ascend to thy heavenly kingdom,
The kingdom of love and repose.
Remember the one who found
None of this on thy Earth.

Liana Margiva

Translated from Russian by Anatol Kardiukov

My dear Liana,
I am moved to deep emotion in sharing the sadness and sorrow and great misery your life on earth has thrown at you. By your poetry and by the words of your posted reviews, I have come to know that you are one who shines with glory when basking in beautiful and tender thoughts and expressions of the harmony of spirits of others.

It is in awesome admiration that I read of how mightily you have faced the hardships of a cruel and wicked world and kept your faith that there will be yet "The kingdom of love and repose."

Though you have suffered a wretched life overflowing with disappointments and jagged wounds, still you call upon your Creator to "Remember me, O Lord" and are ever grateful with a thankful heart for the blessing of your son whom you love "with all my heart."

With faith, I share with you my dear Liana that God has a special place for those who have suffered and kept their faith. And I tell you with confidence that the future of one who lives with God in their heart is to live in the heart of God.

I add my prayer to yours, Liana.

Love,
Richard

You truly did an excellent job
Translating this beautiful prayer
I certainly never thought of
heavenly kingdom, as
Darkness and death
But I guess for the love ones left on earth it would be!
Beautiful,I think its sad and painful!
Yet I found it to be inspirational!!
Outstanding write!!
Peace love and hugsss....Morning star

You have written a beautiful, heartfelt prayer. I am reading this before I go to bed. It has warmed my heart in ways that you cannot begin to imagine. It speaks to faith and belief in God. I am glad that I found you.

God bless you. Kathy

I've never considered Heaven to be a dark and lonely place, but maybe in the sense of sadness about being away from our earthen loved ones, it is.

Aside from that line, I love the poem.

Thanks,
Jill

I am a soldier on the battlefield of love
Exhausted and all bloodied by the fight

Sadly, that seems to be the way of love more often than not. A prayerful offering, Liana; thank you for sharing it. Love and best wishes to you,

I agree with Andre... I didn't understand the third line of the first stanza. I hope for a heaven filled with light and living. :~)

This poem speaks of those who search their whole lives for a love that never quite materializes...yet the Lord will fill their hearts with love in that perfect day.

This poem would reach its star without the third line of the first stanza.

Outstanding composition... "REMEMBER ME, O LORD" makes the reader's heart boil its emotions. I had to dry my tears to follow my second reading. This poem is a poetic bouquet.

In admiration,
