It’s the freezing winter’s dusk
As I sit up on the balcony,
Sipping a few pints and favorite coffee,
Staring at the first stars. Perhaps,
Recalling all those special memories of
Zoran Tosic’s past, In an eloquent nostalgia.
Probably, gathering the words to weave
Yet another beautiful marvel.
That seduced all humanity’s mind and hearts.

Each move of his in Football is a fragrant garland.
Worthy of adorning every altar of literary worship.
For, he has written with the intensity of experience
As he himself came during the 72nd minute,
If only for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Even whilst professing an air of imagination.
A wisdom borne from life,
Striking forceful as enchanting as ’tis beauty.
You’d be gripped from the first word if I say,
No article is incomplete without the mention,
Of, Crewe Alexandra, Dong Fangzhuo, Johan Cruff,
Ritchie De Laet, Higginbotham & Giuseppe Rossi.
And desire to gobble up all on offer,
Hoping there was only an infinite more to be served.
Some words literally like your own soul’s unspoken whispers,
Verily stolen from Murphy’s invisible diary of memories
Whilst we were perhaps dreaming.
The greatest boon one could deserve
Was to be a lover in his game’s arms;
In the way, a paper lay in her palms,
Tattooed with her feelings on your skin.
For, Jimmy held a special charm and power.
Manchester United was, and is forever,
The ultimate reward for the longing,
A realization for the living,
And the redemption for the lost.
