YOU LEFT.. Selma Kopic

 

You left!
And left awake nights and tearful mornings.
riddles and unanswered questions,
unsung songs and unfinished verses.
You left!
The images of my memory are still fresh,
and your voice in a sleep sometimes appears,
speaks tender words of love and comfort.
You left!
And yet they call me yours,
and wonder how long I’ll wait.
They don’t know that
what you have woven around me
is an unbreakable web
woven of longing, dreams, pain, memories.
You left!
Behind you is a strong web of love and hope,
gentle as a cobweb and firm as a rope.
I am all your prey in that net,
trapped with love for you since you left.

OTIŠAO SI

Otišao si!
I ostavio suzna jutra i noći besane,
zagonetke i pitanja bez odgovora,
neotpjevane pjesme i stihove nedovršene.
Otišao si!
Slike mog sjećanja su još uvijek svježe,
i tvoj se glas u snu ponekad pojavi,
govori tople riječi utjehe i ljubavi.
Otišao si!
Pa ipak, zovu me tvojom,
i pitaju se koliko ću čekati.
Oni ne znaju da to
što si ispleo oko mene,
je mreža neraskidiva,
satkana od čežnje,
uspomena,
boli,
snova.
Otišao si!
Iza tebe
ostala je mreža ljubavi i nade,
snažna,
čvrsta poput užeta,
poput paučine nježna.
U toj mreži, ja cijela sam plijen tvoj,
zarobljena ljubavlju za tebe,
otkad si otišao
i nisi više moj..
