Today I will read three poems Of popular Croatian Jasna Gugić. Hope you like it.
FEAR
I’m standing naked
in front of my own fear.
Only him and me
in front of the mirror of
life. And I’m watching him
with wide eyes opened and
I’m asking him, is he
afraid of my ego
and my crazy desire to
win. He looks silently at
me, my fear,
indifferent, without a blink of an eye
without a heart,
and no hugs.
But now I feel like I’m prevailing,
crossing all obstacles of self-pity,
and the curses of the evil men in black.
And I feel my big fear shrinking
as I walk on my toes,
overrunning years of nonsense.
And I was born again
in the glare of the Universe,
free of burdens of the life
free to fly, somewhere where
no one can touch my wings
of dreamer.
Tonight,
I could only write about
you long,
tender and incessantly,
without reason,
without blinking,
No regrets.
Just like my heart
without programs,
without schemes,
no combination.
Because you are,
of course,
gentle
and lazy,
but as if I knew everything about
you and you around,
as if it had always belonged to those
hands,
eyes,
Hugs.
Tonight
I could only write about
you and I touch the stars with
my hands
because you gave me your shine.
Tell me
my sorrow,
How to rest
of life,
tired,
like a jewel thief
in a dead end.
How to give
such a poor guy
broken hopes
full of regrets
To make him happy.
Like in a cloud
full of rainy sorrows
I'm painting a rainbow
full of life's joys.
Tell me
my sorrow.
