STAY
A Poem Composed by Jasna Gugić
Cover me with your beauty
Fill the cracks in my heart
Without you
I’m dried up source
A standing river
I’m the road which
Leads to nowhere
Silent in helplessness
All alone without a splendour
Impersonal views
Staring at yesterday
Blind for tomorrow
So, don’t leave without
Turning your eyes around
Stay close
The night is descending
It’s too black and I fear
The shadows of darkness
Stay with me
Be the fire of life
That shines in me.
TONIGHT
A Poem Composed by Jasna Gugić
Tonight,
I could only write about you
long,
tender and incessantly,
without reason,
without blinking,
No regrets.
Just like my heart
without programs,
without schemes,
no combination.
Because you are,
of course,
gentle
and lazy,
but as if i knew everything about you
and you around,
as if it had always belonged to those
hands,
eyes,
Hugs.
Tonight,
I could only write about you
and I touch the stars
with my hands
because you gave me your shine.
