LATINKA DJORDJEVIC

I  KNOW HER

I know her;

with the eyes of a hind,

with the heart of a girl,

with the soul that

walks along meadows

and weeps over the swaths of

wild  flowers.

I now her;

soft gentle words

keep her  warm just like the sun-

making her cheeks flush.

And like a shy little child,

she turns her eyes to the ground.

I  cherish her more

than anything  in this world.

As  a  shining star,

kept in her nest;

as eternal love,

in my very own heart.

A sea of tears I would gladly shed,

I would stain my soul with pain,

just to save her

with the heavenly magic.

FOR THE LAST TIME

The blue coat

the blue scarf

The blond hair

The blue  eyes

The blue skies

All this blu

fades away.

It is allowed to write -up.

fades away.

ON THE RAY OF THE SUN

She used to sing the most beautiful song,

pigeon used to kiss hiss dove,

falcon picketed his loved one,

slender fir

tilted her head towards the pine,

poplar confessed to the birch;

"Once, on the ray of the Sun,

along the shadow line,

the game of a woman in love I had begun.

That was the true joy indeed,

unforgettable  happiness.

Now grief rules over my heart,

firefly illuminates nothing but the soul,

along the clearing of yellowed

meadow"
