SECOND SEMI-FINAL

Mentor:Nermin Delić

7. KALOYAN HRISTOV

	SEMI-FINAL POEM:	RASHODI Sada šetamo obalom. Usamljenost i ja. Berba je cvijeća, a ona pogledom briše moje listove na nogama i pjevajući se udvara. Cvrčci su joj podrška; a zalazeće sunce, i vjetar koji puca na mom licu – na njenoj su strani. Nadjačava rijeku tiho mrmljajući tu pjesmu, kao da šapuće u uho i ljubi prvi put; porculanski. Ne volim je. Odgurnuo bih je sa stijena. ali ko bi tada šetao sa mnom? РАЗХОДКА Сега по брега се разхождаме двамата. Аз и самотата. Бера ѝ цветя, тя ме ухажва и запява нейната нежна песен. Щурците я подкрепят, залязващото слънце също, дори вятърът, който се блъска в лицето ми, е на нейна страна. Тя пее своята песен все по-тихо, тя шепне в ухото ми и ме целува, тя ме докосва нежно, а аз я ненавиждам, искам да я бутна от скалите. Но кой ще остане до мен тогава?
