Baghdad Nights Quotes

“Our love is like the moon,
changeable through all the phases
of complete disappearance to full existence.
It raises the sea up to the sky
and makes the cool wind ripple its surface.
Blindly sparkling it doesn’t let us see.
I know I’m not the only one to love you,
but your heart inquired only of me.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“The two of us,
two lost keys of the different doors,
once strangers and now a souvenir of pain.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“It doesn’t really matter you aren’t here.
The raindrops are keeping you alive
through growing palm forests.
Wild, untamed and unconquered,
as your wandering heart.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“The new story of ardour unfolding,
the tale of tantrums of the hearts.
An affair with a stranger
who still can’t feel it,
while silently roaming its streets.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“What is love but a word?
A feeling roughly concordant to fear?
A fantasy that breaks through
the heartbreak
and endows the defeated with bravery?”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“Stories never told,
disappeared in the dawn mist
and sunset blaze.
Like a movie kiss,
not real,
but still overwhelms and entices lustfulness,
turns me into pleasure
and a connoisseur of love.

Flying to the heavens above
followed by the yearning hope
that you will always be close to me,
that you will not disperse when
we revel in​ one another.

Secrets to be kept in one of these terracotta walls
that fade away through the dusk,
feeling the scented candles of musk,
just you and I,
two rebels of love,
that challenge the logic, the meaning, ​and sense.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“I'm disappearing in the nightfall,
becoming one with the rocks I’m sitting on…
Sinking in my own reminiscence of your smile,
your lips and your smell…
Not missing you, not longing for you,
but grieving for the dreams that held the image of
the darkest brown eyes.
Perhaps I was your one as you called me…
It is said a man can be happy
with any woman
but the one he truly loves.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“Darling,
I’m walking around our places
without you.
Thinking of the last time
we talked, we laughed,
kissed, and made love.
I couldn’t remember.
Not one moment.
Not one feeling.
Just a faded canvas left
in front of me.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“Tens of voices announced
the time for the prayer.
In all the magnificence of the scenery,
“God is the Greatest” fits flawlessly,
and makes me close my eyes
and murmur my supplication.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“To retreat in my aloneness,
my beautifully peaceful garden,
to find shade under my heart,
in the solitude of abundance,
without you in sight.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“You blossom in me,
I spread my wings through you.
It is your merit to be earned
for whatever I become.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“My heart cannot conceal
its love for you.
It is still able to miss
the memories it no longer
remembers,
for love needs neither
reason nor foundation
to exist.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“Daunted by the
depth of the shallowness of your heart,
I chose the wings of freedom
to lead me to belief and faith,
to the deserted island of my sentiments,
of memories that wanted to
feed on the wrecks of the sunken ships…”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“Only these four eyes can see the reflection of us,
for the soul never lies confronted with its truth.
Like the forest that's hiding the secrets in thick canopies,
but the string of light always makes its way through.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights

“And if I’d die
just after one day
of being loved by you,
that would be equal of
one thousand years of a mortal
who’s never felt harp strings
pulled by angels
through the heart.”
― Tatjana Ostojic, Baghdad Nights
