Saša Milivojev - NOT AFRAID OF FATE


Again
I am born again
First breath
Pain
Crying
Again I see arrays of colours
Everything has changed
What madness
It’s like a fairy tale
The taste of mother’s milk
I stretch
I grow
Lost in the sounds of a dream
The light plays
At the verge of time
Crawling on scratched knees
When I...

Saša Milivojev - SLEEPWALKING

Silent
The Skies are silent
The Moon awakes me
The Night gently embraces me
You are no longer on the shore
Where with salt ourselves we smeared
Dreamed and to the Sea we used to croon
Oh, my Beloved,
Unfold
For me the stairs of the Moon
Plush toys I shall scatter
Down...

Saša Milivojev - TO THE DREAM MARKET


I throw memories down the well
And, leaving, I hear the echo of tears
I do not want to have my face
Treading on my own verse
Tied in knots
Like a frightened doe
I run across the glass bridge
To the old place
Where Light and...

Saša Milivojev - A CHALICE OF GORE


Silence bites
Below school's stairs
Trickling tears of fervent gore
From thy brethren's veins
Their cups to the rim they pour

All is shattered in the blast
Heavens echoing with silence
Dracula is licking his lips
Threading fingers through their tears
Pouring for his laughing friends

Ask why, if...

WELTSCHMERZ ("WORLD PAIN") - THE PAIN OF THE WORLD



In this century withal
Rivers of blood still flow
Bombs echo
Children are being killed
Heads are being severed
Millions are starving
Diseases are devouring
And you are singing

The gallows are trembling
In the valley of the fallen
In the salty tears
With our putrescent sores
We...

Saša Milivojev - VOLCANO



Below the naked sky

A hole is seething

An avalanche is boiling

The sun is melting away

Who protects you

From the burning rain

Now that you are gone

Saša Milivojev - THE UMBILICAL CORD

Far away
Beyond the Sun
I hear the aching beats
Of a broken heart
The umbilical cord has ripped apart
Scattered through the desert
the milky drops are glittering
In your trail your abandoned „baby “
is crawling and howling
Remained but an empty
Sandy nest
Now the time has come...

THE GREAT DYING

THE PESTILENCE


It’s raining snake venom
from the clear blue skies,
millions of bacteria,
stench of excrement,
genes of mice and rats,
lead powder dust, quicksilver droplets,
on the planet of the “reptiles”
piles of human corpses.

They poisoned God no less,
and all else is vague,
Here comes hunger and agony,
rabies, AIDS...

Saša Milivojev - LARVAE

 
Nine

Evening

A bright speck soars

Darkness from the sky

The spinning of a wedding dance

The sound of waves crashing

Against the rocks

Lava runs through the veins

A multitude of larvae

Behind the rocks

Shine instead of moonlight

Saša Milivojev - A CRY


Apollo’s discus
Fine blond hair
The echo of the universe
The strong winds of Zephyr
The sun’s heat
Melted the wax wings
And I fall again
Why am I not a shadow
To be torn into two pieces
In the air
Why do I not have an apple instead of a...

Saša Milivojev - TO PUT THE SUN OUT
 

They are leaving

Through my dirty windows

I see the shadows in the distance

The sound of footsteps disappears in the silence

And a voice lures me

To scream out my tears

To return into my madness

To forget everything

To hang my soul on...

Saša Milivojev - MAGNET

 

Plus and minus
The sun
The moon
The earth
A fervent wish
The harmony of bodies
Minus and minus
When one has no one
Has nothing
Is with no one
Plus and plus
When something is calling
But rejecting
The sound of a sea organ
The clash of clouds
The blood quickens
The sun plays with lava
People...

Saša Milivojev - PRAYER


I return to you Lord my God
Punish me
Punish me for not loving
Punish me my Lord
For not praying to you enough
So that my hands are not empty
For not feeling a warm look
For running away from the warmth
Punish me
For not fearing loneliness and silence
Like...

CORONA

A bloodthirsty old woman you see,
a cockroach from the Satan’s
“Crisis Committee”,
For long she pillaged,
children she snatched and slayed
their blood she drank and ate,
to rejuvenate.
She flayed their skin,
affixed in place on her own face,
Corona was her name,
The old hag was insane.

When her evil deeds were...

Saša Milivojev - FORBIDDEN
 

You forbade me to gaze at the Sun
And when dresses fall from rooftops
You forbade me to laugh
And cry in grief
You forbade me to love
To think freely
To have a grain of hope
And while I fall from the sky on the concrete
Please
Let me...
