Ethnically I’m fully Palestinian but my mother’s family were Palestinian refugees and went to Brazil. My mom was born and raised in Brazil. I hold a Brazilian passport and speak Portuguese.
When you love a Palestinian woman,
the essence of resistance seeps into your existence;
you comprehend
the meaning of persistence.
In her eyes you may see
residues of a tear,
but never a sign of fear.
When you love a Palestinian woman,
your heart is tuned
to the beat of a heart
that can never forget.
When you love a Palestinian woman
you love every wave
that kisses the shores of her land,
every olive tree in Galilee,
every particle of salt
in the Dead Sea.
When you love a Palestinian woman,
you love a smile
mysteriously mixed with pain unknown to others;
and a laugh that was choked
when the land was separated from its faithful lovers.
When you love a Palestinian woman
you love a spirit
that inherited the will to stand,
and eyes
that terrify guards at check-points,
in a way no man can.
How can any man love
but a Palestinian woman?
