I like Shekspir's sonet.
Example:

Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,
And each doth good turns now unto the other:
When that mine eye is famish'd for a look,
Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother,

With my love's picture then my eye doth feast
And to the painted banquet bids my heart;
Another time mine eye is my heart's guest
And in his thoughts of love doth share a part:

So, either by thy picture or my love,
Thyself away art resent still with me;
For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move,
And I am still with them and they with thee;

Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight
Awakes my heart to heart's and eye's delight.

As for me I like poets of  Silver age, such as Anna Akhmatova, Sergey Yesenin and Alexander Block.

My favourite poem is "Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.  Author is an unusual and even strange person. He likes dark, scary motives in art. And I like it, too.
I'll give you a little piece of poem:

Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;-vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Nameless here for evermore.

It's perfect, isn't it?

I like Rap & Hip-hop music!
In texts of these performers there is a lot of sense which not all is clear! It are pleasant to me the text in which there are metaphors and abstract representation of reality For example:

DMX - LORD GIVE ME A SIGN

Let me know what's on your mind
Let me know what I'm gon' find
It's all in time, show me how to teach the mind
Show me how to reach the blind, LORD GIVE ME A SIGN
Show me what I gotsta do, to bring me closer to you
As I'mma go through, whatever you want me to
Just let me know what to do, LORD GIVE ME A SIGN

Life or death
Live or die
I will never live a lie
Im goin there cuz I try
I wont quit until I die
Im gone make it wrong or right
Make it through the darkest night
When the morning comes you'll see
All I have is God in me
Lord, give me a sign

System of a down - Roulette

I have a problem that I cannot explain,
I have no reason why it should have been so plain,
Have no questions but I sure have excuse,
I lack the reason why I should be so confused,

I know, how I feel when Im around you,
I dont know, how I feel when Im around you,
Around you,

Left a message but it aint a bit of use,
I have the pictures, the wild might be the deuce,
Today you called, you saw me, you explained,
Playing the show and running down the plane,

I know, how I feel when Im around you,
I dont know, how I feel when Im around you,
I know, how I feel when Im around you,
I dont know, how I feel when Im around you,
Around you, around you, around you..

I love Shakespeare's sonnets.
Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath stell'd
Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
And perspective it is the painter's art.
For through the painter must you see his skill,
To find where your true image pictured lies;
Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still,
That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes.
Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done:
Mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for me
Are windows to my breast, where-through the sun
Delights to peep, to gaze therein on thee;
    Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art;
    They draw but what they see, know not the heart.

I like it, too)

My  favourite lyrics is Bosson – One in a million.
Sometimes I can't hate you every day
Sometimes you can fall for everyone you see
Only one can really make me stay
A sign from the sky
Said to me

You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us
You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us

I've been looking for that special one
And I've been searching for someone to give my love
And when I thought that all the hope was gone
You smile, there you were and I was gone

I always will remember how I felt that day
A feeling indescribable to me
Yeah
I always knew there was an answer for my prayer
And you, you're the one for me

You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us
You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us

You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us
You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us

I was cool and everything was possible
You tried to catch me but it wasn't possible
Nobody could hurt me it was my game
Until I met you baby and went insane
And when you didn't want me, I wanted you
Because the finer thing bout it was I like to go
I like it when its difficult I like it when it's hard
You know it's worth it if ya find your heart

You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us
You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us

You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us
You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us

You're one in a million
Oh
You're one in a million

I very much like to read, both domestic authors, and foreign. Classical works very are pleasant, by modern literature I am unaffected, as I do not consider that it at the proper level. From poets Sergey Yesenin Edurd Asadov most of all is pleasant. As to prosaic works that here - "One Hundred Years of Solitude", the novel of the Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

As for me I like to read Russian poems...Esenin's poems are very beatiful..He wrote about nature about his friends and of course about his mother...I find myself in his poems...Sometimes I can find solving of my problems in his works...

My favourite:
The girl was singing in a church choir, 
About the weary abroad, far away, 
About the ships in the sea, so dire,
And those who'd forgotten their happy day.

So sweet was her voice flying up into highness 
With shimmering beam on her shoulder of white, 
And every one listened watching from darkness 
The way the white garment was singing in light.

And every one thought that the joy was there, 
That the ships were all in a quiet bay, 
And the weary people abroad, full of care, 
Were now all blessed with a happy day.

The voice was sweet, and the beam was shining,
And only up there at the royal rack 
A child, conversant with secret, was crying 
That nobody, really, would ever come back.Alexander Blok

My favorite poet Lermontov. He wrote many poems, but they are very good and I really like it. They are filled with symbolism. They need to understand.
