What Is Poetry?

 

Need for life.

My life is a requirement

to create with words beads

indicate from the soul and mind will,

it goes far from the place of departure.

 

From lemmas and sought after mottos

the innate ability of the sculptor forges them

of poetry creates chiseller,

in complicity they make plots

 

so that it reaches each message

of those poignant heartbeats

fill existing spaces

di falls in love from the first taste.

 

It does not know how to exempt itself from nourishment

of poetry that penetrates the void

of the world going into the unknown

of live emotions and will never be extinguished.

 

How the sun and the stars will shine

Poetry gives everyone a little happiness.

 

From Transparency.

 

You are immobile

In a cage for all to see.

Ask for help.

You want the freedom denied.

The eyes plead.

You yearn to fly high

and you are in the depths ...

Speak your look.

Each learns what the subconscious craves

or even from awareness

attracted to your inner feeling.

They glow

spent in the cosmic void

of a confined space.

Priceless freedom.

Nobody refrains from valuing it in itself

and in the brother.

Your eyes affirm it,

the outside of the soul.

They confirm this in the universal message.

 

To All The Women

Who Have Silently Built History

 

Today I want to remember each of the women

than without fuss, with small gestures

simple words used for grafts

and for society they built the columns

 

to improve the men of the future world

day after day to exemplary history

they added a piece to the memory

for breaking down even the smallest wall.

 

Silent women have built bridges

they forged pure-souled children

teaching dignity, head held high without fear

committed personally on several fronts.

 

Women a song dedicated to you over the centuries

only some man shows you respect

someone places a queen crown on his head.

Challenge dangers, face obstacles, work wonders.
