The second rhyme

My little boy, my dear man,
I love you beyond measure,
The only man I've now and then
You are my dream and treasure.

Your voice and eyes, your kiss and smile -
I shall forget them never.
I keep in heart them, for a while
My breathing stopped forever.

May be, you are a fairy tail
And will have gone as dream,
But you're the only person male
Who is my sunny beam.

You are my joy and happy song,
You are my fate, indeed,
And only you I shall belong,
For only you I need.

I want the parting came away,
We'll be together then.
You must be hurry as you may
My darling little man.

I wait for you, my dear boy,
To kiss your lips again.
You see, my ring is not a toy,
We're tied with golden chain.

I can't to keep away my sense,
My love and flame you've burned...
By god, it is not a pretense
I never lie, I don't!

My dear man, forgive me, please,
The first my rhyme you see.
I ask you - don't amuse and tease
The poor boy and me!
