ŽENA Hafiz
Ruža nije lijepa, ako uz cvjetove njene
nema umilnog lica drage, voljene žene.
Bez opojnog pića, bez dobrog starog vina
ni proljeće ne vrijedi, ni njegova milina.
nebo ti je pusto, i sva je bašta pusta
ako nema poljupca s toplih, rumenih usta.
I na svijetu ti, brate, nema tužnije stvari
nego gledati dragu kad se u licu žari.
Kada se u njoj tajno ljubavna vatra budi,
a ne brati poljupce, ne milovat’ joj grudi.
I ples vitkog čempresa i umilnost ruže,
ako nema ljubavi, šta mogu da ti pruže?
I sva svjetlost uma, pa i mudrost sama,
bez svjetlosti ljubavi nisu nego tama..
Divna je ljepota pjesme, ruže, vina,
no kad nema žene sve je to praznina.
Nije zanimljivo ono što vam žene kažu, zanimljivo je ono što prešute - Shakespeare
Il Coraggio delle Donne
Bruno Esposito
Sono coraggiose le donne,
ci costa caro, ma bisogna ammetterlo.
La fragilitŕ? Solo uno stato culturale,
piů che un dato biologico.
Sono forti e coraggiose, le donne.
Quando scelgono la solitudine,
rinunciando a un falso amore,
smascherandone la superficialitŕ.
Sono coraggiose le donne, quando
crescono i figli senza l'aiuto di nessuno,
rivalutando l'ancestrale primato,
quello di essere mamme.
Hanno il coraggio di non chiedere
a uomini che sono anche padri,
la loro presenza,puntualmente assente.
Uomini che rifuggono le proprie responsabilitŕ,
trincerandosi in comodi ruoli o paraventi
infantili di adulti mai cresciuti.
Sono forti e coraggiose, le donne,
quando a discapito di tutto e di tutti
scelgono i propri compagni; costruendo solide storie
spendendo patrimoni sentimentali, contro la morale comune.
Sono forti e coraggiose, le donne, quando sopportano,
violenze di ogni tipo, per salvaguardare quello che resta di famiglie,
che non son piů tali
Sono la speranza del mondo, le donne, in qualsiasi
circostanza continuano a far nascere uomini,
che poi le tradiranno.
A tutte le donne
Fragile, opulenta donna, matrice del paradiso
sei un granello di colpa
anche agli occhi di Dio
malgrado le tue sante guerre
per l’emancipazione.
Spaccarono la tua bellezza
e rimane uno scheletro d’amore
che però grida ancora vendetta
e soltanto tu riesci
ancora a piangere,
poi ti volgi e vedi ancora i tuoi figli,
poi ti volti e non sai ancora dire
e taci meravigliata
e allora diventi grande come la terra.
Alda Merini

Hair as deep as indigo

Un perfect in many ways
I have desires to seek all within my soul
Penetrating the spirit which resides
Within
Mother
I do all to provide for my seed
I cry
when the pain and struggle is too much to bear
I laugh
Controlling my frustrations when
Pushed by the lips of my young
transcending through to the other side
I am Women
I am women
Hurt
Disappointment
from all directions
Has been a visitor
Yet I over come
And continue
To live
I have desires
To become that women
The women who lives
inside my dreams

Beautiful
Graceful
Powerful
Secure
A women of courage
Happy
Motivated to challenge myself until
success
is what I posses
I am women

Inspiring many
I’ve fallen at the hands of abuse in ways only few have
Been informed of
But it shapes me into my transcending transformation stages to
Rise

I am women
Seen through these eyes
Hate

domestic Violence to those who could not defend themselves
I am women
Wonderful
I am women
I am women
