Poem Of The Week: Letters From Serbia…

Credit: pbs.org

Left behind the border lines of fears and fate

To die and rot, a state of triage

To the gray skies we look, asking God why?

The forgotten like a dusty book on a shelf

A broken spirit, darkness, darker than a quarter past twelve

With pity the moon gave us light

Paper stained with blood and sand

Between the lines my letter I write

Zoejane, your face I will never see again

Shattered promises, lost in the shadows without a trace

No words, just pains, tears and worries

I gnash, I lived to see my soldiers, and I watch their final breathe

Nobody will live on to tell the stories

Zoejane your name I call

Love is far from here

On Wounded Knee I crawl

Look no further, beyond horizons for my welcome

Each word I write slowly I die.

The love we had and shared in the past

Apologize to my unborn child

I wish it wasn’t the last

My tears on the floor

These are my words my letter from WAR
