Four Poems by Irena Jovanović

 

ARCHIVE OF LOVE 

 

 

In the ark of the body 

archives of love 

plundering into 

archaeology of life 

deeply in genes 

deeper than mind 

into crystal libraries 

of own existence 

use the right cipher 

to achieve eternity 

in the directory of love 

enter the immortality 

and live forever 

intentionally 

consciously 

intelligibly

 

 

 

WALK THROUGH INNER PEACE 

Deep, dive deep, in amazement 

of soothed inner glory 

in awe, in peace, in mild essences 

in brilliance of love omnipotency 

dive, and step forward 

and walk through inner peace 

slight tranquility 

with no oscillations 

and stay there, reside 

until you feel so deep 

so in, so through 

walk in that peace 

just like a passenger walks 

into a lane 

so easy, and flow 

flow through it, so fine 

in a dream about a dream 

and wait, please wait 

for all 

to crystallize

 

 

 

STEP FORWARD 

 

Step forward 

into beauty 

into depths of freshened totality 

into the brilliance of the soul’s tranquility 

dive deeper 

gaze into profound miracles 

and enter their dimension 

just elegantly 

walk in 

step forward 

it is your sweet decision 

secret desire 

to get divinity 

in a grasp of your 

fingertips. 

 

Step forward.

 

 

 

GREEN, OH, GREEN 

 

With many layers of leaves 

in patterns spread over eyesight 

when I try to look at the blueness 

below treetops, lying in the grass 

I think: green, oh, green 

life, oh, life 

Lord, oh, Lord 

who created all these things 

inside 

outside 

fractals, life joy, miracles 

breathing, chlorophyll, greenness 

hugeness, depths, and co-resonances 

with soul, with oneness, with self 

true being of the universe 

the inner richness of totality 

just overwhelming beauty 

just extra potent sprout 

a burst of spring essences 

nature in its brilliant excellence 

green, oh, green 

fine, oh, fine 

presence, so deep 

so ripe 

so 

divine
