Dejan Stojanovic Poems

Our world hides in the hospitable sea,
Murmurs tirelessly the forgotten song,
Tells the same story in a same way,
Listens to itself, indifferent to you,
...

The sea was the house and the world was the nave
You were the sea and you were the nave

The nave was stormy, the sea was calm
...

I see you new tonight.
Thoughts on fire
Burn and scream—
New you are, tonight.
...

Singers pass but a song lives
Feeding the eternal flame

New minds, burning
...

You are from California
I am from the Midwest
But we met in Arizona
And went to the desert
...

In the dream, Homer, Lucretius, Virgil, Ovid, Dante, Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and Robert Frost meditate in the Kingdom by the sea and want to know if they found Eldorado.

Shall I compare you to the summer's night
My beautiful Anabel Lee?
...

There can be no forced inspiration,
But there can be mergers with the world

There can be a flowing of feelings
...

I am your slave, desire,
I am your slave, pride,
I am your slave, vice,
I am your slave, success.
...

There is a word on the crossroad
That marks the open road ahead;
There is a song coming from the dark woods
Of growing cities, no less dangerous;
...

Everything in nature exists
Based on the law of attraction.
Lovemaking derives from that law,
Fighting comes from the friction of conquest.
...
