Death Road

Published by Sedin Duranovic in category Poetry with tag heart | Love | smile | spring

“ We’ve got nothing to talk about

There’s no worth of going out”

Well, some words are just meant to hurt

Some men are meant to be left in dirt.

 

Gorgeous smile, that lovely face

Nowhere else to be found in the whole space

But one place

Somewhere we don’t belong

Where land is fair, but all else is wrong

Well, everywhere is the same

Thou someone has to take the blame

Rules of the game

 

Once upon a time

Happened a ridiculous crime

And the cause of it

Two nearly same sides were not to fit

Memories flash through mind

How she knew to be gentle and kind

Her smell, thou smart

Fresh smile, always from the heart

But the best part

When she loves, there’s no hidden thing

All the year is the Spring

 

Gentle as a sunny day

Pleasant as the smell of rose

Smart to dwell on any cause

 

Truth should have been kept away

Thou going astray would be a hidden play

But had to say, had to confess

Only one is the winner at the play of chess

Hard to say sorry, when there’s no chance

 

Memories all the way

It’s all that’s left, that chose to stay

 

Through the windy night

Sand in the air

She came into my sight

So pretty, so fair

“Shall we take a walk

Or, some place quiet have a talk”

For a moment she stood silent

Then, toward my face she bent

“Matters I’m here with you”

She said

“Do as you like to do

You like me in red?”

“You’re pretty whatever you wear”

As we walk I stare

Small nose

Thin eyebrows

Brown spots on sides of her nose

Lovely smile glows

Was it a pink covering over a silky hair

That made her so humble, pretty and fair?

 

The Death Road took all we had

My love, my breath

So world became hostile and sad

Few days of higher love

Woodpecker and sparrow

Babbling brooks, melodious bird sung

Whistling wind, made trees rung

Seemed as nature was playing of sweet love about us

As we sat, wondering at each other behind the bushes in field of wavy grass

Nay, the song was a tragic story of terror and blood

Shed on that Road, by innocent youth once we had

They were seeking the peace, running away from disastrous war

Searching for new nest, for safe landing shore

Some of them did found new home, new beginning

Now many years later, their hearts are still not healing

Many were trapped, into spiders net

Beasts in human bonds, savagely took their breath

And hid their scar-full bodies, in crying woods, under bleeding earth

With no conscious to be curbed, with souls as cheap as dirt

 

Miles of walk, through the fields and woods, from day to another

All the way by side my most precious, flower of heather

Few nights under the winking sky

Two birds in the nest, suppressing their passion cry

 

Her gentle eyes, fixed on my face, exploring my mind

Not a many thoughts there she could find

I spoke to myself that night

Having her beside, as the most beautiful sight

No thought at all, but one of unbreakable love

I didn’t knew then, the difference between a woodpecker and a sparrow

 

On her soft lips, nothing but gentle words

Even now, years after, I hear their chords

Sweet whisper, reaching for the soul and filling the heart

With strong belief, of never going apart

She kept it warm

Safe from the storm

Our love bloomed, and its wings took us high

But the gloom, we never knew, always was standing by

The gloom is patient and wise

And knows very well, when to rise

As a spider, waiting at the end of his net

For a fly to land, on a soft deadly bed

The black cloud, came upon us as we reached the valley of silence

Filled with death and stories of unbearable violence

Innumerous graves paved the valley, with uncurbed conscious of the world

Inhumane hands swept the worthy peace, for a pinkie of gold

Sold their souls to the devil, the leader of dark force

Pledged to his leadership, with no feeling of remorse

Empty-headed misers, building their wealth on another’s fallen health

Proudly wearing by devil signed belt

Unconsciously marching towards Judgment Day

Punishment without any delay

Permanent raging fire, waiting for it’s prey

 

Walking along the side of the graveyard

Grieving thoughts settling to my mind

Both away from each other yet beside

Pilgrims gathering, preparing their nests for the last night

As an army settling, preparing for the fight

Each living soul was wearing winter’s coat

Yet still shaking from sight, their eyes had caught

 

Sun was down, she went with girls to some house

A piece of land, my destiny, and a sleeping bag to a wrenched mouse

It was calm beautiful night, with warmth in the air

Being alone, I thought was quite unfair

 

Open darkness around

No sound can be heard

Not even a bird

They left, couldn’t stand

The life on that bloody land

(This Poem depicts a memorial marching from Nezuk to Potočari (Srebrenica) where in July 1995 massacre took a place or a genocide, more than 8.000 bosniaks were massacred and burried…)
