Seasons

Autumn in me.
Spring in you.
Winter in us.
It was only
short summer.

Hail

the gloomy sky
all night cry
why, why, why?

because you died.
your life was
like the flies
flies, flies and dies.

Profit

Poverty, hunger,
politics, hate,
weapons, war, death.
This multinational
order of the words that
have a common name:
PROFIT.

I'm Waiting For Her

She said: 'I shall return.'
It is like a proud stork.
She is my flyaway swallow.
It is a return ticket
for my colorless life.
I'm waiting for her.

In Neverland

Trains do not go here anymore.
This is a night with plenty of light.
Norwegian forests to dry in the distance.
Open the window the sun will just come.

Jacaranda's and nuts

First you are and the other is me.
In Johannesburg the spring.
In Belgrade is the fall.
You paint jacaranda's.
I pick the walnuts.
You are Jacaranda I am Nut.
You are the Spring and I am the Fall.

Mistral of poetry

Thus the story of two:
You and me alone...
And words...
As floods which no one escapes.
A tornado that does not bother anyone.
As we love hurricanes.
Just you and I...
And words...
Mistral of poetry.

It is better so

If you wish to see me,
will be dark.
If you wish to hear me,
be quiet.
If you wish to come closer to me,
you will stay alone.
Dark picture of quiet and solitude.
I know it hurts but it is better so.

Odgovor Jednoj Tanji

ako je plac oblak-suze su kisa
a sunce je osmijeh.
ovde je sada ljeto
a ljeti posle kise dolazi:
-SUNCE-
a mozda se i ti tako zoves.
i ne placi ako pomenem tvoje ime
jer ti si i sunce i osmjeh i TANJA.

While You Sleep

And tonight while you sleep
i write poetry,
or perhaps prose.
I'll write something sad,
because sadness is a part of me.
It is my INSIDE.
Be glad is my OUTSIDE.
My life as a circus
and I'm Picasso sad clown.
