Micropoems by Tanja Ajtic

In Silence 

I didn't forget anything, 

I decided, broke it 

and ran away in silence. 

□

By Your Tears 

He left simply 

and the woman 

always knows 

and foreboding best

when it is over, 

by your tears.

□

Illumination

You illuminate the world 

with your light 

where it is often dark, 

you see the starry sky even

during the day. 

□

Feelings

This night is important 

and I want to be awake 

to feel you longer, 

with beautiful scents, 

to preserve the memory of you.

□

Wish

Tired, 

with my eyes closed, 

I try 

to discern the contours of people, 

wanting to see 

only your face.
