Two Poems by Jasna Gugić - Croatia

 

i. 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 eye
without a heart,
and no hugs.
But now I feel like I’m prevailing,
crossing all obstacles od self-pity,
and the curses of the evil men in black.
And I feel my big fear’s 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.


ii. SADNESS

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.
