Dejan Stojanovic Poems

I promised to write you a poem
Every day in a year.
Every day a new flower.
I promised to write flowers for you
...

We left that early morning
To ride horses, feel fresh air, see the Sun,
See the forest and rest on the blanket
When we get tired of riding.
...

Born from the natural attraction
Of vowels and consonants
Alliterating or merging into a fugue
...

It ended.
Just like that
Quick
No explanation.
...

The most complicated skill
Is to be simple.

To say more while saying less
...

No need to pray for rain anymore,
Petition the sky for more flowers and love,
Go to the Oracle of Delphi
Or seek to name new Gods
...

Is there ever a true moment of silence?
There can be no such moment
Unless we should move
To the world before the world.
...

Men talk on the public square,
Pigeons eat on the sidewalk and fly,
Women flirt and feed the pigeons.
...

An aspiring poet is usually advised
To use dictionaries, encyclopedias,
Grammar books, books of style, dictionary of rhyme,
Books on how to write, and of course attendance at workshops.
...

Shall I say, I love you? says Love.
No, you shall not.
Love loses its magic when declared
Also, you would not be Love if you did not love me,
...
