Love Marathon ~ Ljubavni Maraton Poem by Jankovic Zoran

Love marathon

She thought it would be
forever be in my veins.
I cannot write a love poem
in broken letters.
I put on a laurel wreath
to the head of a fantasy figure.

I am writing about honorable circle
of the Love Marathon.
I write about the woman
who is loved recreationally,
about the love marathon
in which I didn't want
to be a winner.

Ljubavni maraton

Mislila je da će vječno
biti u mojim venama.
Polomljenim slova ne mogu
pisati ljubavnu pjesmu.
Stavio sam lovorov vijenac
na glavu liku iz mašte.

Pišem o počasni krugu
ljubavnog maratona.
Pišem o ženi koja je
voljela rekreativno,
o ljubavnom maratonu
u kome ja nisam želio
da budem pobjednik.
