mademoiselle and marzipan

2011-12-08T09:31:00.003-05:00

thou knows her sin
like bratwurst and brie
bridge badem free
and erase history

mademoiselle, I
confect my nut
for marzipan to morph
tit for tat

for love

2011-08-17T04:00:00.002-05:00

divulge freedom
insane relic
wood burning corn
your skin shrinks
with the touch of a waterfall

your embrace
curves
i love to look at
with each rose I give
for love

i exit wounds
you enter freely
we travel far
never to return

sunshine pine

2011-08-07T16:10:00.000-05:00

in my mind we travel
and turn on a dime
on pavement or gravel
rain or shine

for strong winds and clear skies
we sail to see
our destiny is what follows
open and free

we tour the countryside
taste olives and wine
dream of the future under
shades of sunshine pine

Fear

2011-07-28T12:45:00.002-05:00

i fear the water will breakthrough
the crevice of the bottomless pit
to drown my memories
into ice cold Bering sea

i fear not
to say what i see
as some would dare
my renaissance play

i follow the fear
paint it with fingers
sing it for willows
not to forget

New Day

2011-07-18T08:29:00.006-05:00

morning sun
coffee and a hotdog bun
i continue to dream
on the wings of kukulkan

like a cannonball man
when enters the mouth of rhodes
i start my day
with emails and calls

Saharan Doll

2011-07-06T12:41:00.001-05:00

nice to wake up with
love and harmony
toasted monte cristo
and a cup of coffee

we've danced before
made love after
rains of fall and
books of knoll

i carry the flame
canvas and oil
aboriginal atlas
and saharan doll

Memory Slave

2011-07-05T17:12:00.000-05:00

so, it's all or nothing
i am not afraid of words
nor voice of choice
as creation escapes
by a medium of waves
i do it for i
to remember
myself as i change
as my memory is not enough
for me to survive

Turkish Keyboard

2011-07-04T07:55:00.008-05:00

(for sarra)

over the sarra siera
mountain tops
alouette girl dives
through minaret swirls

she enters solar windmills
via turkish keys
she hunts for thrills
and eternities

Legalni Ubica

2011-06-26T18:49:00.003-05:00

Da li me ona zasluzuje?
Pitam se.

Toplina doma hladi se.
Krov nad glavom nestaje.

Smrdi ti iz usta djavole.
Mljackas dok zvaces splacine.

Pravis se da znas sve.
Pokondireni damski otpade.

Trudna si i smeta ti plod.
Kazes ne svidja ti se.

Nemas osecaj za rod.
Abortirala bi radije.

Ti si legalni ubica.
Koji zivot ne postuje.

Jamu je iskopala doktore.
Gotovo je.Kasno je.

Facebook Life

life without facebook
would be empty
like an empty google search.

who would poke your mind then?
tag your daemon ego, and
add you as a friend?

condone yourself.
book your face
another place
and live life
away from here.

kosovo

2007-04-30T23:39:00.000-05:00

kako da covek ovde nadje sebe?
kako da ponikne?
ovde nesmotreno gledas zvezde,
vidis pobede,
osecas promene,
ne osecas vreme.
kako da se odrazis na krv zastave nove Palestine?

memphis

2007-02-27T17:14:00.000-05:00

kad bi samo znao kako
srce tvoje ponovo da nadjem
ovaj strah da sakrijem
iza ogledala oltara

vratih se u memphis
da mi nova krila das
ljubavlju isklesana
medovinom zalivena

dok tako stojim pored
prasnjavoga puta
ni sam ne znam kud me vodi
kud mi srce luta

Tus Palabras

2007-01-10T01:56:00.000-05:00

tus palabras dulces son,
el alimento para mi mente,
paz para mi alma,
mi abrigo atomico en una tormenta.

albatross awake

2006-04-08T21:25:00.000-05:00

run your kite free
from pain and sorrow
we have seen
every now and then
you look down
to check on me

this chance
our treasure
last dance forever
we nest for eternity

we may fall
break a wing
above the open sea
for as long as we
stay together
like an Awake tea

Zasto?

2006-04-01T20:26:00.000-05:00

I jastuk sa mog kreveta
Mozda u cudu
Sad neku drugu glavu
U snove nosi.
Ne vjeruje toj nepoznatoj kosi
I mozda se nada
Da ce iznenada
Voljena glava odnekud doci.
A mene u dugoj noci
Hladan kamen ostrog brida
Vuce u san, u dubinu dragu.
Sto se nisam ubio na kucnome pragu?

Duško Petrović - iz zbirke poezije "Na kućnome pragu"

huricane

2005-09-24T16:55:00.000-05:00

i almost feel like i shouldn’t
be alone
i almost feel like an eye
of the storm
searching for a place
to calm down and stay

come along with me
before
the autumn leaves fall
enjoy
the colors from above
transitions of gray

tide

2005-09-24T13:53:00.000-05:00

I knew...
Somehow...
That I had to stay alive.
Somehow.
I had to keep breathing.
Even though there was no reason to hope.
And all my logic said that I will never see this place again.
So that’s what I did.
I stayed alive.
I kept breathing.
And then one day that logic was proven all wrong.
Because the tide...
Came in, and gave me a sail.
And now, here I am.
I’m back...
In Memphis, talking to you.
I have ice in my glass.
And I've lost her all over again
I’m so sad that I don't have Kelly.
But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island.
And I know what I have to do now.
I gotta keep breathing.
Because tomorrow, the sun will rise.
Who knows what the tide could bring?

Tom Hanks, Castaway

alone

2005-09-01T20:31:00.000-05:00

what i do know
seams not what i truly care for
its just a lure to keep you near
ahead of fear from alone

i left my love in the big city
my little flower tulipan
it might take another lifetime
to forgive me what i've done

i must take my journey east
to the land of the samurai
to ocupy my mind and soul
ahead of fear from alone

*this i wrote back in april, few days before i rejected the job offer in japan

feel like

2005-08-18T19:01:00.000-05:00

feel like a jew in germany
feel like rage in insanity
sorry i couldn't call you mother
they've been bombing our country

feel like crying out loud
feel like a hunger strike
feel like stop the war or
i'll commit suicide

this is the saddest i could be for free

*this is something i wrote during the nato bombing of serbia and montenegro few years ago...

vuk samotnjak

2005-08-06T18:23:00.000-05:00

iz karantina u karantin
iz ljubavi u mrznju
napred nazad
kroz plac i smeh
glupo i nesmotreno
vredjam i cinim srecnim
lomim se i starim jak
vuk samotnjak

stari mlin

2005-08-05T11:02:00.000-05:00

ti
koja si bez kuce
bez krova
bez glave
hladno klices
sa tri prsta dises
i tako ponovo
iz dana u dan
jutrom se budis
nasmejana
sama
bericetna i spremna
da pogledas zivot u oci
i okrenes se jos jednom
u vodi ledenoj
i ljutoj

32

2005-07-23T09:37:00.000-05:00

walking down
the streets of my hometown
old faces i remember
looks i cannot forget
in an instance
i became a man
brave and strong
as the river after storm

ćud

2005-06-19T18:25:00.001-05:00

kraj puta nikad neću naći
na kraju puta je samo moja ćud
moja ćud je nepredvidiva
kao i kraj mog puta

uvek nadjem svoje mesto
prilagodim se vrlo lako
to je mapa moje ćudi
hrana za moj um

kilimanjaro

2005-05-18T23:16:00.000-05:00

take me far
away from thoughts
distance I thought
would make it clear

cut my legs off
my arms too
take me on a trip
never let me sleep

we'll dance tango
at the delta okavango
and see the snows of
kilimanjaro

monster blue

2005-05-04T04:20:00.000-05:00

blue monster save me
i'd like to be free
i love you boucoup
kao boku kotorsku

some things you see
only when too late
when the colors change
blue monster rage

butterfly

2005-04-19T12:42:00.000-05:00

happy days, closing in on me
virgin galactic called today
to talk about the space flight
when i’m up there in the sky
you will hear my voice, your name
you will see my face, smiling
with my eyes wide open
asking you to be my butterfly

travelosphemy

2005-04-18T01:17:00.000-05:00

so take me safe
make me brave
let me rave
safe and sound
and then forget
what I’ve said
traveling south
yes i do, travel too
where we've met
don't answer the phone

etoile

2005-04-05T00:16:00.000-05:00

etoile it is
and a yellow house
in summer of love
forever and then
i will always know
to come back home
to you my love

in my dreams tonight...

2005-01-27T01:56:00.000-05:00

if i was a little mouse
hidden in your pocket pouch
we would fly your rocket house
munching chocolate on the couch

the moon follows me in the sky

2004-12-27T03:27:00.000-05:00

the moon follows me in the sky
like a white pearl on the bottom of the sea
he looks quite cold
to warm up his edge
i give him a hug and my coat

eat marshmallows

2004-12-22T14:47:00.000-05:00

you are the sunshine of my life
my lady knight
I want in sight
until the time is right
to stop the fight
and start the life
sunny and bright
to eat marshmallows by the fire
and kiss the fool moon
good night

when you know others

2004-12-17T15:17:00.000-05:00

When you know others, then you are able to attack them. When you know yourself, you are able to protect yourself. Attack is the time for defense. Defense is a strategy of attack. If you know this, you will not be in danger even if you fight a hundred battles.

Zhang Yu, disciple of Sun Tzu ~ 500 BC

i sta sad?

2004-12-17T11:24:00.000-05:00

I sta sad?
Kad vise niceg nema
Kad me nista ne zanima

moonshine drive

2004-12-16T20:10:00.000-05:00

time is flying by
like a pretty butterfly
yellow
blue like a sky

time is standing still
like a rusty windmill
when the creek is dry
and you hear birds fly

time is on our side
love is our guide
we're just an ocean tide
moonshine drive...
