branimir
As the name says-peace on the first place. But, deeply, in the middle of the smallest cell there is a big battle between two profiles. One is young fire and red wine, but other is quite ice and and romantic poet. Sometimes, the ice burns so strong like it will destroy everything and than creates more beautiful reality. His life is written like the most misterious story. Known, yet so unknown. He has the sweetest blood-like cherry wine. He has the deepest eyes-like the idea of space. He is an inspiration to the writer, a sun to the flower, a sea to the ships and sky to the stars. Everybody gets enchanted when they see him. But, he is enchanted with only one thing in life! There is no place where he doesn't belong. Wherever he's gone, there's missing. He can be everything he wants to be! He just needs to believe!
But there are always the ones who believe for him!
