STRAH

Iz tvojih očiju izviruje tuga

kratko se osvrće lijevo i desno

Ne našavši mira

brzo se povlači u sigurnost vjeđa

da se i dalje hrani tobom

Iz tvojih očiju izvire patnja

polako teče gusta, crna nafta

nepresušna

strah ti prelijeće lice

Gledam te iz daljine

-vidiš me...

Odlijećeš brzo

poput preplašene ptice

na tajno mjesto

u sjeni šume

Čučiš u grmlju

dršćući od zime

dršćući od straha

Nazirem ti šareno perje

kroz lišće gustog grmlja

na rubu šume

Prikradam ti se tiho, polako

nit' me slutiš

niti osjećaš

Ne vidiš me očima zamagljenim od suza

Korak dva, skok...

Samo lepeći, uzalud ti

imam te i držim čvrsto

Ne dam te,

ne boj se

moje ruke nek ti budu gnijezdo


FEAR
 

Out of your eyes is peering sadness

it is shortly looking left and right

Not to find peace

it is quickly retreating into the safety of your eyelids

to keep feeding with you

 

Out of your eyes is welling suffering

slowly flows dense, black oil

inexhaustible

fear is flying over your face

I’m watching you from the distance

-you see me…

 

You are flying away quickly

like a scared bird

to a secret place

in the shade of the forest

 

You are squatting in the bushes

quivering from the cold

quivering from the fear

I’m catching glimpses of your motley feathers

trough the leaves of thick bushes

on the edge of the wood

 

I’m sneaking to you quietly, gently

you aren’t sensing me

nor feeling me

You don’t see me with your eyes blurred with tears

 

A step or two, jump…

Just flutter, it’s in vain

I have you and I’m holding you tightly

I don’t want to let you go,

don’t be afraid

let my arms be your nest
