Slobodan Luchezarny Poems

I cruised my life full of emotions,
But, step by step, my hidden conscience
Raised up, enlightening so clear
All stuff that was twilighted near,
...

And dreadful signs and sinful mark
The fate so willingly exposes
To those doomed to overdose
...

Lest I forget that constant fight,
That all we have to run in conscience
(Seems from aside like bloody nonsense) ,
If I am tired of life at once,
...

The waves are high over the bow,
The horizon is rocking hard,
Ship’s navigation is an art
...

Of tropics I dream in despair!
Oh, those days under hot sun!
Oh, those nights that I had fun!
My youth, my every thought and wish
...

Unknown hero kept in prison
Of my existence! Hoi polloi
And aristoi – this is the reason!
Yes, I am seaman, just like that,
...

Of happy days soaked in laughter
And steamy nights remembered after
I still keep records lovely track
Just to recall those feelings back,
...

My child’s first cry and morning dew,
The best vine drops a little, few
Unhappy thoughts, more breezy smiles,
Ship sailing me a thousand miles,
...

Again, again I hear the sound
And feel the smell of ship's playground
Where I have spent half life at seas
And more "Eyes front! " than "Stand at ease! "
...

When we sailed through the narrow waters
Heading to sea off Navy quarters,
I thought of that girl whose sweet kiss
Still was not melting on my lips!
...
