Sveca

Sveca

A Poem by Scarlett

Gledam vosak kako se niz svecu sliva,
crven vosak polako ka dnu pliva,
zastane li malko nakupi se vise,
sveca se savije, vosak pliva tise.
Vatra na vrhu preliva se jarko,
boje sunca i jeseni prekrivene krvlju,
dunem u nju da zapocnem igru,
plamen se grci, vatra pocinje da jeca.  

Senke na zidu uvijaju se od bola,
patnja i njih slomila je tiho,
jedini su mi prijatelji ove tamne noci,
vecni pratioci koji nikada nece otici.

A prostorija smrtno je hladna,
kao kovceg pokojnika sto u raci lezi,
samrtna tisina vecno je gladna,
da slomi me skroz, ka tome tezi.

Slomljena do kraja gledam u svecu,
da li da je oborim i sa njom izgorim,
plasim se da noc preziveti necu,
plasim se sta bih mogla sebi da uradim.

Sveca na sto pala je,
sa njom i ja slomila sam se,
plamen polako zhvata sve,
kuda ovo vodi, pitam se...

the translation by the internet doesn't give the same quality and cohesiveness of thought but... perhaps the last stanza DID speak loud enough to come through...

Perhaps:

As the candle's wax dripped from the table
bits of me shattered ...with it as it landed,
for the flames exist to slowly consume everything - don't they?
what comes next - I wonder...,
