I AM NOT HERE
I AM NOT HERE
I am not here!
I am distant from you,
thousands of years away from reality.
Silenced by heavy times,
numbed without reality.
Somewhat strange even to myself.
Often wandering beyond these expanses,
right where the abyss is deepest...
No, I am not particularly special!
A little frivolous and in love with the sky...
Just someone who writes a lot,
imagines herself from famous novels,
yet utterly ordinary,
with a crowd of people alone in her thoughts.
I am not here!
I am not "Madame Bovary" by Flaubert,
dreaming of a life of passion and luxury...
Just a dreamer, a regular woman!
I am neither drama nor comedy,
not Dante Alighieri's,
and certainly not "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov.
I envision "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë.
And quite often, I read for who knows which time
"Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy.
Perhaps I philosophize too much!
I flee from the senseless and alienation,
so "The Stranger" by Camus,
is too special for my honesty...
No, I am not here!
Alice in Wonderland by Carroll,
is my current role,
escaping from reality and my own monologue.
I am not bred for this,
my works are written for other times...
I am not here!
Just writing you poems,
and creating chords with my soul.

Share this Post:
Snežana Miladinović was born in Sarajevo, but she spent her entire childhood and adolescence in Jagodina, where she moved with her parents at the age of less than four months, often referring to it as her second hometown. She has been married for many years and currently resides in Ćuprija.
From elementary school onwards, she showed great talent in literature, winning numerous awards for her poetry and literary works at the republican and state levels of the former Yugoslavia. Her poems, verses, and quotes were regularly published in various magazines. She writes both in verse and prose, creating poems, verses, quotes, love poetry, philosophical pieces, romances, patriotic literature, and has won a significant number of awards. Her poems are featured in numerous anthologies, and she was part of the editorial and technical team of the book "From Verses to Rosary." She is a member of several literary clubs, including the "Dušan Matić" literary club in Ćuprija, as well as a member of SKOR (Association of Writers in the Homeland and Diaspora) and the K.k. "Dušan M. Daćić" in Bagrdan.
Her collection of poems "SCATTERED MEMORIES IN THE SUITCASE OF DREAMS" is her first but certainly not her last book, as she has already promised herself and her loved ones that she is preparing another poetry collection which will be released soon.
