Maid Čorbić - Two poems

 

WHEN LOVE DISAPPEARS

And that trace that is no longer persistent

I still remember those times

when love was persistent

in ourselves when it least challenges

I know that meaning is what I seek

and that person can only be you

because every hope of mine is a part of the soul

that must not be lightly trampled

If I disappear one day

just be the best version of yourself

because I know that having you by my side

means calming my soul that seeks tenderness

Everything in life can have meaning

but I hope you won't disappear

because the only thing I seek

are almond-colored dreams and dreamy eyes

And if you are far from me

never grieve for me

because I still think of you

kilometers away.

LIGHT SELECTION

Passing through the transversal of life

Where people don't see their behavior lightly today

They find meaning in everything somewhere far away

Nestled in four chilly walls with no return

The silence breaks, the almond-colored eyes have become cloudy

And the realization that the light is the limit

Creating colorful colors that are persistent

In paraplegicity, thoughts written in words, less in deeds

Light selection as a beam of light subdues the mind

And they don't let silence take the risk

While the eyes are still the color of the soul and dreaminess

I assemble my emotions in the development of my emotions

Maybe I'm different from the majority

But I think the silence says it all

Because it still has to be reached somehow

And how, only God knows!
