Truth ~ Istina Poem by Jankovic Zoran

You said what you wanted.
I was saying what I mean.
Hurricane crashed on me.

Your extinguished candle
remained on the beach,
and I was greeted
by winter morning
with an empty bottle
of wine on the floor.

Only the truth is light.
The rest is a tunnel with no end.

Istina

Ti si rekla ono što si htjela.
Ja sam govorio ono što mislim.
Orkan se srušio na mene.

Tvoja ugašena svijeća
je ostala na plaži
a mene je dočekalo jutro,
sa praznom bocom vina na podu.

Samo istina je svjetlo.
Ostalo je tunel bez kraja.
