HOPE

Jasna Gugić

 

I would like to take

the paths of new hope

and erase my footprints behind me

because your escort is superfluous

before the rising sun.

I would like to walk

the land of solitude

for years

and walk on

the silence of the pathlessness

liberated

of all your words and deeds.

I would like to be born

again

bathed in purity

of my soul

and stand

in front of the starry sky

as a newborn.

And pardon

my rude words

and be patient

because my loneliness

is your loneliness, too.

You are my other self.

You do what I m afraid of.

 

 

SILENCE

Jasna Gugić

 

Silence in me

strikes in lightnings

of the sky too gray

and destroys my accumulated fear

in the years of non-belonging.

Silence in you

does not know my fears

and gets lost in words of

unknown people

whose hands cannot

touch the softness

of our hearts.

Don't let me stay silent

because my love is

louder than your smile.

The loudest one.

 

YOU

Jasna Gugić

 

You who have never

crossed the boundaries of dream

teach me to shout

from mountain tops

at the end of the day,

teach me to open my hands

clenched in fists

and do not be gentle

like those

who give kisses to everyone,

without tenderness.

Do not be false,

latent and arrogant,

be yourself all the way,

be the one

who does not leave his heart

in himself

but gives it to beat

in someone else's chest.

And only then

will I let you

into the caves of my loneliness,

wilderness and silence,

too silent.

I will allow you

to cross the boundaries

of all limitations

and enter my heart of infinity.
