Sarajevo Poems - Poems about Sarajevo

Their story haunts my memory, I'll tell it to you plain.. in the city of Sarajevo, a place war could never touch, and hope it never will again. Already thousands remain so silent under rock and clay, in fields of Saffron flowers of May, and white blanket of snow come the Winter's day. -Boško- I remember that moment you led me...

SARAJEVO DREAM Hang it up or throw it out it's what the world is all about, there's nothing in tomorrow that has not been dreamt about. All things will stay all the same it's only what's been re-arranged it seems to be another day but nothing's really changed. There is a window sealed up tight somewhere it's day somewhere it's night some things...

Sarajevo - UNDER A LINDEN TREE The morning lights and to another day a pirate's chest you've found but will not stay for longer than the blinking of your eye from troubled sleep to wake wherein you die through every ticking second where you are as dense and far away as any star you sit and let your life and time run...

SARAJEVO SNACK Speak softly to the tune, it plays out in the night, and never think that Sarajevo hasn't named the song. Division is the rule, and fools will make our way, our fear has brought it down on a world going wrong. I'll still love you in Spring, in Summer, Winter, Fall, through Sarajevo's night, I'll love you to...

CAGE Deep in the death, the vastness of your eyes that reaches into times eternity, I go, a vagrant, soon to realize you are beginning and the end of me. The fear of born again brings me to tears, of living one more time, as I have done, and unsuspecting, all my greatest fears are realized again; our death lives on. You look at...

BOMBERS AND BUTCHERS Don't worry little girl, you need not cry, we know your tears, and feel them every one and all too well, though many more will die, you will go home again, it is not gone, but merely re-arranged, or burned at most, your place called home still thrives for you one day to dream and build again, a fence,...

Sarajevo - SHELTERED IN ALONE Between the silence whispered in your head and what you cannot see in front of you; each morning of each day you know, but dread, as if a curse is all this life will do. You'd love to love, but hide away from it, and sheltered in alone, you wonder why somebody might see you, and stay...

SARAJEVO-1995 Another Cease Fire As old as death and cold as nevermore all set to stone, by those who've died before; the acts of love, though viewed a falacy reveal the truth of what has come to be and given to what friendship has in store. This city with its palaces should die though all the world would come to wonder...

SARAJEVO the dying time In this the winter of the growing old and failing of the hearts, a human crime, as freezing rain falls thru the bitter cold a welcomed bit of life is dying time. No more to feel the pain of day to day explaining to themselves, the misery, of what the world's allowed to come their way but time will...

SARAJEVO ROOTS AND LEAVES From where all hate comes from, the roots are strong, but never to be known, forgotten by the branching of the tree, through right and wrong, as blood is sucked so life can come to die. Forgotten is love's moment, and each kiss, and every step in hoping not to fall, each joy of birth, it all comes...

Sarajevo - Death Comes For Sarajevo, death is never known, to bring an end, to what the body feels, in love or hate, together, or alone, death has no mercy for one's last appeals. Death never fails to bring the solitude those living on in pain, would surely bless, though we don't always want it to intrude, death comes no matter what our...

SARAJEVO Hate Will Survive I came in the name of He who gave you breath. As certain as the emptiness of time, as hopeful as your life, and meaningless as death, I came to stay. I came into your palaces, each holy place as plain to see as Sarajevo's charm dividing all, each dream of hope--you'll never see my face, I came to...

SARAJEVO the going insane Could anyone explain the going mad of someone that your life's depended on, or how, the sanity, all they have had grows weaker until all they've had is gone? You know their love's been such a part of you but life had reason that it couldn't stay, and in your heart you know the love was true, it did...

Sarajevo - DEATH OF A BELIEVER In Sarajevo, death, down through the years is fog of mind not meant to ever be; brought on by laughter, love, and hate and tears the fate of all too few can ever see. It brings the withering of life, and all its leaves, once green and shining in the morning sun, now setting on it...
