Poems of Dervisa Grabus Colakovic (USA)
To Share with You
Your eyes enchanted me long ago,
They carried me where they wanted
I followed them, I wasn't afraid,
and if they were not allowed to do that.
I wandered everywhere like a mountain fairy,
I wasn't even afraid of a black cloud.
I was treading water, suffocating in it,
i had wings i never knew
She carried me to you to come,
in your arms like a little girl.
To tell me a story not yet told
to wipe your tear from your face.
To share with you what hurts me,
on your shoulder to breathe a little.
And to release the tear I've been keeping,
to hug the one I care about

It's Not Easy
It is not easy to be the servant of your soul,
it is not easy to hide in it.
Then why did you appropriate me?
You couldn't leave me alone.
It wasn't easy but I agreed,
and if sometimes I have a hard time.
To be a servant to enjoy her,
because you came to me suddenly.
I'm a slave I'll always admit,
and if it is a low position.
If it weren't for you, I'd be alone,
I would never belong to anyone.
Capture me like a bird in flight,
like an eagle when he breaks her wings.
It cannot be resisted at all,
and return to where she once was.
Your soul became my nest,
I don't feel tight.
What would I go when I feel good,
that's the place you chose for me.

Poetic Paths
Don't ask me where my thoughts take me,
I can't tell you because I'm sick of sadness.
Sometimes I don't know where they lead me,
I can't tell you because the story is long.
Sometimes I enjoy them often,
and sometimes they disappoint me.
What are disobedient where are they leading me?
Only they take up my time.
Sometimes you have to be stubborn,
put a full stop and don't go after them.
That's how they are sometimes not honest,
and often make trouble for everyone.
They sometimes don't let us sleep,
that's why they lead us in the wrong direction.
You walk, you don't know where you are wandering
and they have no measure.
We often tread deep rivers,
we sail the sea without a boat or ship.
We jump over barbed wire fences,
we open the door without any code.

He Is Proud of That
Just so you know where we end up,
they would never despise other people.
They would lend a hand to those in need,
they would not poison their hearts with hatred.
They would pack their arrogance somewhere,
we don't need her, let the water carry her.
Because no one will love arrogant people,
to be a good person is something to be proud of.
To be human no matter how much,
that we have no meanness in our hearts.
To value everyone as ourselves,
that there is no hatred in our chests.
We have to throw her out, she gives poison,
and spreads everywhere throughout the world.
She is poisonous without a cure,
it infects our soul and makes us sick.
There is no cure for it when it infects us,
Damn you, then you can't get rid of it.
So be careful, you'll do well'.
be a real person and you won't make a mistake'.
