We’re just watching pictures
Of tragedies before us
Playing with color effects
to give them a fresh breath
Confined to rooms which don’t see light
History will bore us
Bought & sold for wells of gold
that stink of unjust death
as we swim through seas
of future sins
of lives undone
& could-have-beens
Then laid to rest
Upon the stones
Where lines breed lies
& demons rub our bones
But no lessons are learned
– The pain of the past
from rejected visions,
unprocessed memories
books given to dust
letters wrapped in concrete
So erase this one too
I accept the defeat
Just forget I was here
& my heart will not beat
N.B.

These poems are such a surreal journey Nebojsa! I love the emotion and settings that are created!

As long as you’ll be around, I’ll always be second, at best
as we swim through seas
“of future sins
of lives undone
& could-have-beens
Then laid to rest
Upon the stones
Where lines breed lies
& demons rub our bones”
I’ve killed lies in many a way, but this is sheer imagination. I’m convinced that you’re on another level. – Just awesome!
you should know how awesome it is being on another level 😀 thanks so much!
If I could pinpoint my favorite lines I would, but I can’t. This poem is simply gold! I’ve always said you were one of the best and this one proves it. Great job!
can’t thank you enough for that.. glad to have your support bro 🙂
Forever one of my favorite writers. Gahhh your poetry is sooo good!! You always pick such strong words that leave a last impression in your poetry. “We swim through seas of future sins” like howww??! That’s so good 🙂
it’s supposed to be a secret, but even I don’t know anything about it xD well, you know, there’s other writers I can learn from 🙂 thank you so much!
