Spring will be upon us
flowers will bloom out
sun will shine up

but I will be far from you
but I will be alone from you
but I will be not with you

you are the sun & I'm the night
I'm dead cloud above us
you are fertile land upon us

you shine in the valley
I sleep in the sky
you shine in the clouds and I sleep in the land
There's cold wind in the air
blowing to the land's far away
to the yuletide's fair
to to the snowy place
among happy crowd
dancing, shopping & singing
under dark and gloomy could
i was standing on a bridge
in the evening light
contemplating the knowledge
that not everything is right
when a vision took hold of me
and it turned me on a dime
i saw a new world unfolding
in the fulness of time

henry james went off to war
and he took whatever he wanted
he never cared who he worked for
the hunter or the hunted
and he ended up in potter's field
under a dusting of lime
but even henry james i saw revealed
in the fulness of time

in the fulness of time
we drank starlight like wine
and all the simple pleasures
replaced the more refined
we stood there in the glory
like never before
and behind us lay the measure
of all that's still in store

well her name was willa mae
but everyone called her billy
it seemed like every other day
the unexpected knocked her silly
she lived her life within the space
between the wine-press and the wine
but hope like a beacon shone in her face
in the fulness of time

i saw israel in tatters
and jerusalem in danger
her integrity was shattered
she lived at the mercy of strangers
but the lord looked around and said maybe
this one will consent to be mine
and so mary had a baby
in the fulness of time

in the fulness of time
events buckled and rhymed
the moon pulled on the oceans
and mountains groaned and whined
the greatest among us
were all hung out to dry
while those of quiet devotion
their names were flung across the sky

i returned to my senses
and started off in a new direction
our accuser stood defenseless
without his tools of dissection
as i stepped through the saw-grass and clover
the thought that was fixed in my mind
is that my cup runneth over
in the fulness of time
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who started a rhyme, then said, "Fuck it."

You've been talking to Garibaldi again, haven't you?
I've been struggling with this one for years. It's a work in progress but here we go.

I have written most of my poetry in Croatian but here is one of my poems in English.

Humanity LTD, Genocide INC

Humanity limited,
Genocide incorporated
Hatred is in the sky,
People must die
Politicians for hire
And World is set on fire

Feed them ideology or religion of peace
It's all about money for conscience on lease

Reaper laughs in his perfect machine
Sowing fear and distrust over the TV screen
Soon armies deployed could be seen
Starving children are no more obscene
On the edge of abyss you are about to careen
Your new fashion is camouflage green

War and hatred to extinction is not our only sin
We are maiming, killing and cooking all our kin

Proliferating world wide pollution
Ever since the industrial revolution
Global warming is our mass execution
Waste in oceans is no part of solution
Will we chose our own evolution
Over the Mother Nature's retribution

Humanity limited,
Greed incorporated
Poisoning the sky
People must die
Politicians for hire
And World is set on fire

Breja: You've been talking to Garibaldi again, haven't you?
Now you've done it. I've got to watch the entire thing again, again, from the beginning.
Here's a drawing of Earthworm Jim I did a long time ago.

I drew it in colored charcoal pencil, but it looked really rough, so I went over it with a wet brush which made it look sort of like it was done in water color.
