Ivan Sokac Poems

When you fall asleep, dream of ships;
they always return…
So does my soul return on the morn
having navigated the "northern sea route".
...

I won't know that I'm gone,
one day, when I am no longer here.
But even then while you sleep
I'll place my head behind your lap, near,
...

There is a tremble in my glancing eye.
Station is full,
and one after another are preparing to depart.
People...
...

No reward, no throne.
Neither the place of honor
Neither made out of the gold, nor made out of thorns.
I do not need a crown...
...

It's morning again. It's a new day and all is clear. Just let us not taint it, let it stay just like that… Same like a tear…

Night took the previous day… And to be honest, it wasn't some day, or maybe it was?
I lost some dreams on the sidewalk, so I had to find then in my dreams again… But never mind, it's morning again and everything is clear. Let us just not taint it, let it stay the same. like a tear…
...

It is still daylight, as long as the sun drags it behind,
and wind unwillingly wanders
through the evil-caused thinned crown of the trees.
My thoughts have been wandering
...

From stars to make you a hat, to keep you safe.
No one to see you under it...
Out of clouds I'll create a velvet,
to sew you a vest, when it blows and stings.
...

I'm looking for an excuse
to hide under the sun
and protect myself
from cold birch trees of May.
...

I do not believe in picturesque letters
on the parchment.
In counting, polling and marching.
...

In a spiral of confusion
We're spinning
more and more losing ground.
...
