Notes of a Night by Hiva Panahi
Notes of a Night, by Hiva Panahi
Don't want the eyes of those whose hearts are blind
get up and walk in the dark
If blood is running from your wounds
Let them in the wings of the stars
Get up and walk in the dark.
Look at the stones that broken, running rivalry
Butterflies fall into these waters
The rocks take off wings
The lower plain screams
All your life a grass in the wind
Don't want the eyes of those whose hearts are blind
Get up and walk in the dark...
Don't seek the eyes of those whose hearts are blind
Get up and walk in the dark
If blood is running from your wounds
Let them be the wings of the stars
Stand up and walk in the dark.
Look at the broken stones that are running in the river
The butterflies fall in these waters
The rocks take off wings
The lower plain screams
All your life a grass in the wind
Don't seek the eyes of those
Whose hearts are blind
Stand up and walk in the dark 2021

One of the heavy nights of my persecution in Athens/ by Hiva Panahi
I couldn't deny the cold weather of 2012; it had permeated every part of my body with this unusual freezing, and my breaths came with difficulty, cold and endless glaciers. I was alone with my laptop feeling like the last stone of the world waiting to be blown down into the abyss; I looked with deep tenderness at my computer; it was the only thing I had, the only one that would be able to carry my voice and my appeals to the world from the cliff of life in this phase.
I looked at it and it stared at me, like those windows that were blowing in our backyard at my parent's home, while my heart was flooded with dreams. Now it's like I'm watching a tragic piece of cinema, a movie in the middle of winter, the voice of a Starbuck's employee: We will be closing in 10 minutes. With great gratitude I look at her and I say, "Okay". I leave the cafe and continue walking; the city of Athens is not the same at all, and my tears fall down. I say to myself, "Don't cry please," and take another sedative. My laptop and I would stay in the medical school reading room until morning again. I was counting the moments and awaiting my death in Athens.

Μόλις έμαθα πως μερικά ποιήματα μου έχουν μεταφραστεί στην Ινδία.Δόξα τω Θεώ, κάθε φωτεινό κομμάτι είναι κομμάτι της δικαιοσύνης για μένα κι την ζωή μου, ευχαριστώ Θεέ μου. Just I learned that part of my poetry works had been also translated into the Bangali language in India. Thank God, thank Lord, each light is a piece of justice to me and into my life, I am extremely grateful!

Μικρές Γκρίνιες Μιας Γυναίκας, Χίβα Παναχί
Η σύλληψη και η γέννηση ενός παιδιού δεν είναι από μόνη της μητρότητα, αλλά η συνείδηση της. Δηλαδή, κοσμογονική - εκίνηση του σύμπαντος, ΘΕΟΣ, ΦΩΣ,ΝΕΑ ΖΩΗ =πίστη σε κάθε καλό στον κόσμο...
