Poems

Averno

ame 

How privileged you are, to be still passionately clinging to what you love; the forfeit of hope has not destroyed you. Maestoso, doloroso: This is the light of autumn; it has turned on us. Surely it is a privilege to approach the end still believing in something.

madina

martian1138

too high on the pole, if you know what I mean.

previsoko na jarbolu, ako znate na što mislim.

All your life, you wait for the propitious time.

incomparably beautiful and the memory of it 

ni s čime ne može usporediti, a uspomena na njega
