The Steps Of Love ~ Stepenici Ljubavi Poem by Jankovic Zoran

A poet is no ordinary man.

An ordinary man,
when he slips
on a step of love,
skips it the next time.

A poet, when he slips
on a step of love,
sits on it and suffers.

On many, cold
steps of love,
the most beautiful
love verses were born.

Stepenici ljubavi

Pjesnik nije običan čovjek.

Običan čovjek
kad se oklizne
na stepenik ljubavi
sledeći put ga preskoči.

Pjesnik kad se oklizne
na stepenik ljubavi,
na njega sjedne i pati.

Na mnogim, hladnim
stepenicima ljubavi
su nastali najljepši
ljubavni stihovi.
