Poem dedicated to all Women
adapted from a Portuguese poem from Florbela Espanca
- also a remarcable women and poetess from the 20 century - ( 1894/1930)
To be a WOMAN is to be taller
It is to be greater
than Men!
Biting like a
kisser!
It is being a
beggar and giving as who is
King of the Kingdom
of Above and Beyond Pain!
It is to have a
thousand desires of splendor
And do not even
know what You want!
It is to have
within you a star in flames,
It is to have condor wings and claws!
It is to have
hunger and thirst of Infinity!
To have for helm, the
mornings of gold and satin...
Ando to condense
the world into a single scream!
And it is loving
you, so desperately...
Being soul, blood
and life in me
And saying it singing
to all the world!
Florbela Espanca (adapted)
