To You 

As the earth thirsts for rain,  
As the sunflower longs for the sun,  
So does my soul yearn for you. 
In every drop, in every ray,  
I see your image, your gentle smile.  
Just as night has its darkness,  
So do I seek the trace of you in my heart. 
As the earth awaits spring,  
As the flower dreams of azure heights,  
My heart, like a swallow, comes to you,  
To love you through the depths of affection. 
In every breeze, I hear your whisper,  
In every leaf, I feel your breath,  
For you are my unrest, from which I suffer,  
My everything, and my eternal fear. 
As the earth thirsts for rain,  
As the sunflower longs for the sun,  
So does my soul yearn for you,  
Dreaming of you, loving you, always listening to you. 


Maja Milojković was born in 1975 in Zaječar, Serbia.
She is a person to whom from an early age, Leonardo da Vinci's statement "Painting is poetry that can be seen, and poetry is painting that can be heard" is circulating through the blood.
That's why she started to use feathers and a brush and began to reveal the world and herself to them.
As a poet, she is represented in numerous domestic and foreign literary newspapers, anthologies and electronic media, and some of her poems can be found on YouTube.
Many of her poems have been translated into English, Hungarian, Bengali and Bulgarian due to the need of foreign readers.
She is the recipient of many international awards.
"Trees of Desire" is her second collection of poems in preparation, which is preceded by the book of poems "Moon Circle". 
She is a member of the International Society of Writers and Artists "Mountain Views" in Montenegro, and she also is a member of the Poetry club "Area Felix" in Serbia.
