New Oath

Saša Milivojev - NEW OATH

(I swear) by the Sun and the light
And the Moon in its wake
And the Day that brought it in sight
And concealed when it was by the Night
I shall give you to nobody
Devoted I shall be to thee
I shall love you eternally
To leave you, never will I
Swear by the constelations and the

Sleepwalking

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 our dunes of sand
The memories are calling me
Wait for me

The Healer

Saša Milivojev - THE HEALER


Close your eyes and listen to the

Sky

Receive light

Through my body

Sky

The stars’ entire light

Is absorbed by your body

From burning hands

The endless warmth

Is so beguiling

Ice Age

Saša Milivojev - ICE AGE

 

An endless plate of ice

The camel carries me

Treading heavily

Icy tears from sobbing splutter

It stumbles

Over the tips of the pyramids

Weeping

The soul is wrenched

My firefly is not here

At nine

As it once was

The Firefly and the Wind

Saša Milivojev - THE FIREFLY AND THE WIND

 

Thunder rumbles

The poles melting

Waves crashing

Towns sinking

I prayed to heaven

The wind has extinguished you

I will go barefoot on ice

Freeze myself going after you

My love

Volcano

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

When the Firefly Is Gone

Saša Milivojev - WHEN THE FIREFLY IS GONE



The tide shies away from the sand

Under the dark clouds

Someone is waiting  

The lyre is calling for it

To fly down and shine

Fiery wires

Weave soft sentences

The water is still now

It’s turned to oil

The light speck has gone away

The lyre has fallen silent

And the shore remains deserted

Forever

On a Kilim

Saša Milivojev - ON A KILIM
 

I trembled when you were gone

Away from the terrors of time

Metal and synthetics

In the Near East

I float on a kilim

Down a gusting wind

Allah

Raises dust

Water, closer

The smoke of a hookah

That’s what we are

Shhh

Something's breathing

It’s me

It’s you

We are lost

Sunset

Saša Milivojev - SUNSET

 
God is sleeping
I hug the sun
In the orange sky
The magnet is playing
Orange hookah
The muddy water of the Nile
A secret
An echo of silence is heard
Fingers on lips
A thought
Pyramid in the chest
Shiny steel
A touch
Like a mummy
I fell asleep
Eternally
Among red corals
And God is awakening

A Cry

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 heart
To have an arrow driven through it
Why is uncertainty so

Magnet

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 will be stripped of their poles

Door

Saša Milivojev - DOOR


At heaven’s door
I watch through the keyhole
All my friends
Angels and devils
Chasing me
The opera has started
But I heard no overture sounds
Running away on the milky way
Picking fond memories from the sky
No longer do I recognise those faces
I stumbled over
The fake tears of the moon
I open the door
Returning to myself
And they are left with

In An Old Church

Saša Milivojev - IN AN OLD CHURCH

 

I woke up

In an old church

Its roof leaking

A drop fell on my forehead

And I saw God’s face

The Last Horseman

Saša Milivojev - THE LAST HORSEMAN

 
White, everything is white
The walls are moving
A body in hospital sheets
White horses pull the bed
The soul crawls behind them and begs
White
Around the bed
Angels dance in a circle
The sky sheds its clothes
Give me back my body
To forge my heart
I do not want to travel anymore
Through this endless field
Wrapped in white

At the Crossroads

Saša Milivojev - AT THE CROSSROADS


Again I hear the trumpets
And a wedding party from afar
It raises the dead
They are coming
And I'm leaving
Embroidering the shroud
For myself
Made of cheap verses
Of wails and pains
That no one can hear
In the silence
At the crossroads
I speak to the Light and the Darkness
