Three New Poems by Jasna Gugić from Croatia

1. THE MOMENT

 

In my fingertips I feel

the touch of your soul

wrapped in my colorful scarf

fluttering through summer hot air.

And I’m smiling in the silence.

From far away the scent of sea

you brought to me

foaming in my eyes

and the sound of the waves

crowned in blue.

And I wish to capture

just that moment

and your step

with your smile of longing

As you walk along

the sunny side of the street.

 

2. PEACE

 

I feel a peace

in the motion

and this night is blazing

and the light dissolves

in the colors if unexpected love.

It glows in the eyes

burned by the stars

I call silence by your name

and a smile of desire

I’m carrying to the morning blue.

I wash myself with dew

to kiss a new day

and rejoicing the sun.

and cover your eyes

with my palms

to surprise you

on some blue mornings

with a smile that

conquers and wins.

 

3. GOOD MORNING

 

The morning is spreading

over my city

asleep

it extends from my hands

blue indefinitely

and the great yellow sun

entered your bright eyes

Don’t you feel it

in this morning of hope

the trembling of my hands

open to all your infinities.

Good morning, my love

I kiss your eyes

dew bathed

in this morning of blue longing

As I give you the embrace of life

Forever.
