So I wait for you like a lonely house till you will see me again and live in me. Till then my windows ache. Pablo Neruda Bitter love, a violet with it's crown of thorns in a thicket of spiky passions, spear of sorrow, corolla of rage: how did you come to conquer my soul? What brought you? Pablo Neruda Love is a clash of lightnings Pablo Neruda I touched you and my life stopped Pablo Neruda Naked you are blue like the night in Cuba, you have vines and stars in your hair Pablo Neruda You are the trembling of time, that passes between vertical light and darkened sky Pablo Neruda Oh invade me with your scalding mouth, search me if you like, with your nocturnal eyes, but allow me to sail and sleep upon your name Pablo Neruda I love you like the plant that does not bloom and carries in itself, hidden, the light of those flowers Pablo Neruda Love, my territory of kisses and volcanoes. Pablo Neruda I love you without knowing how, nor when, nor from where, I love you directly without problems or pride: I love you this way because I know no other way to love, Pablo Neruda I know you exist not just because your eyes fly and give light to things like an open window Pablo Neruda I love the piece of earth you are, because in all the planetary prairies I do not have another star. You repeat the multiplication of the universe. Pablo Neruda I repeated: come with me, as if I were dying, and no one saw in my mouth the moon that was bleeding, no one saw the blood that was rising into the silence. Oh love, now let us forget the star with thorns! Pablo Neruda I loved you without knowing it, and I looked for your memory. In empty houses I entered with a lantern to steal your portrait Pablo Neruda No one will retrieve my lost heart amidst so many roots, in the bitter freshness of the sun multiplied by the fury of the water, there the shadow lives that does not travel with me. Pablo Neruda From all the graces of my homeland I chose only your savage heart. Pablo Neruda Of so much moon were your hips to me, of all the sun your deep mouth and its delight, of so much burning light like honey in the shade Pablo Neruda from that terrible love the soft pure hands gave peace to my eyes and sun to my senses. Pablo Neruda Come see the cherry trees of a water constellation and the round key of the rapid universe, come touch the fire of instantaneous blue, come before its petals are consumed. Pablo Neruda my beauty, flower by flower, star by star, wave by wave, love, I have counted your body. Pablo Neruda Love brought its tail of pains, its long static beam of thorns, and we close our eyes so that nothing, so that no wound will separate us. Pablo Neruda They lie those that say I lost the moon, those that prophesized my fate of sand, they assert so many things with cold tongues: they wish to ban the flower of the universe. Pablo Neruda Before loving you, love, nothing was mine: I hesitated through the streets and things: nothing mattered or had a name: the world was of the air that I awaited. Pablo Neruda I cannot quit your love without dying. Pablo Neruda You will fall with me as a stone in the grave Pablo Neruda 100 Love Sonnets |
