BRANIMIR STULIC – JOHNNY

(the 60’s generation)

Johnny’s songs were about the Balkans.
…
True to himself
Johnny tapped into
undreamt dreams.
…
Am I singing…. or am I crying?
I can’t figure out
how to run towards the destiny.
Johnny ran away.
Never to return.
…
Or is it just an impression?!

ANANAS AND BANANA

Through this poem
I’d like to tell you
that I know
how much I love you.
…
Through this poem
I’d like to tell you
that I want
you to be mine.
…
Through this poem
I’d like to tell you
that I can hold you tight.
…
I’d like…
however I can’t deal with it.
How can I have you, love you and hold you
How, when I can’t afford
to carry on caring for you.

The other ending with positive thoughts
I like it ..
and I am dealing with it
I can  have you, love you and hold you
Because I am strong to carry on and keep up with you.

FINAL SOLUTION

How to cut Gordian knot

in B(&H)?

…an educated fellow tosses the question over and over again…

He repeats the question

time and time again

it doesn’t tire him

it spans decades,

even centuries.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

is an answer in itself.

…

The question will die out

when B&H is wiped out.

COUNTRY SONG

Speculation

revives

reminiscence

of the moments of destiny

in my dreams.

I really don’t know

why  this title ?

When I want

to say something completely opposite

aiming to speak of

unspoken,

unheard of,

and

unthinkable

At least today,

now and here.

Elite culture

is nothing else but

the wish of marginalised people

to establish the rule of impossible

in this corner of the world.

Let them live with it.

Off I go the soul-brothel

I’m off to the pub !

IF ONLY I WERE YOUNGER

I read

Poetry

written by the young poets…

I

don’t know

if I should

call it

Regressive or Progressive ?

…

I better shut up

and  continue reading
