Stefanija Ludvig, CR

 

The Terrified Hornet

 

You can not open
the door to me
Spread at least
your window
I would like to see your face
to find out whether
you're really here
still withdrawn into itself
and alone
Cocooned as a Hornet
not thinking of me
I feel your spyware breath
If I do the wrong step
or movement
you stab me with your poison
You're knitting your cocoons
of straw
Insincerely cover your feelings
Fear goes out
from the darkroom
to my disturbed soul
Sadness is twitching in
dry leaves rustle
Do you think autumn brings the end?
You're wrong again
Reliably I know
the dry leaves and branches rot
through the winter
get green and
blossoms in the Spring
If you want me …
We will blossom our love too

 

 

My Sky

 

Sky, don't look at me today
I am ashamed of my tears
in your beauty.

I'm happy under you,
with my open eyes
I am watching you
You're salvation of my life.

From your home
the sun warms me motherly.

Neither the clouds
are odious to me
when they from you
water the land.

In the deep dark night
from your lap
the bright stars goes out
giving joy to the whole world

I love you my precious sky
I am ashamed I'm sad
in your endless beauty

How to close my eyes
one day
and observe to the dark silence
after your azure blue

Will I become a mole?
useful to loose ground
beaten by the heavy steps

 

 

Eyes to Eyes

 

Sadness,
over your closed eyes
I feel like
I am on the high seas
by myself
and you're watching into the sea depths
from the deck

Your thoughts are strange to me
What are you feeling now?
In this very moment
You are scared to recognize
that's the beginning of our end

The worst is
that you're so disgustingly quiet
As you do know
that's what I hate
Others' silence is killing me
because You know I speak
my thoughts aloud

You are always fair with me
either good or bad
We are wasting time
when I have to think
what is happening inside you

Shout out!
to me at last
what's going on?

If it's necessary to drown ourselves
let's jump into the deep water
If it's worth it to fight for life
let's go together
to victory
or death

Shout out!
to me at last my Pigeon
I must grasp your shoulders
and force you
to eject your hidden truth
outside as a hot fire

A signal rocket explodes in the air
and activates sights
…..eyes to eyes
