“Stories never told,
disappeared in the dawn mist
and sunset blaze.
Like a movie kiss,
not real,
but still overwhelms and entices lustfulness,
turns me into pleasure
and a connoisseur of love.

Flying to the heavens above
followed by the yearning hope
that you will always be close to me,
that you will not disperse when
we revel in​ one another.

Secrets to be kept in one of these terracotta walls
that fade away through the dusk,
feeling the scented candles of musk,
just you and I,
two rebels of love,
that challenge the logic, the meaning, ​and sense.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“Like a child
licking his lower lip
while looking through the window
of a candy shop,
eye-eating the sugar glazed apples
that are shining in all shades of red.
That is how you look at me.
With all the temptation
of a child,
wanting to break the glass
and indulge in something he cannot have.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Moments of Eros: Poetry as the Language of Desire

detached from emotion,

“Hold me as if I were the most fragile
object that a touch of a feather

Dance with me with the same animal craving,

“Our love is like the moon,
changeable through all the phases
of complete disappearance to full existence.
It raises the sea up to the sky
and makes the cool wind ripple its surface.
Blindly sparkling it doesn’t let us see.
I know I’m not the only one to love you,
but your heart inquired only of me.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“The two of us,
two lost keys of the different doors,
once strangers and now a souvenir of pain.”

the tale of tantrums of the hearts.
An affair with a stranger
who still can’t feel it,
while silently roaming its streets.”

and not to the loved one.”

“Everything loses
it’s splendour and light
when your lashes flop
over the dark circles
below your eyes.
Asleep. Soft.
With a scent of the
date cookies
you ate as a child.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Cacophony of My Soul: When Love Becomes Poetry

“I wonder if Gaudi was collecting pieces
of broken tiles,
trying to mend his shattered heart,
his crushed soul,

his overwhelming sorrow for the unrequited love.”

no real,
