DON'T GO FAR OFF, NOT EVEN FOR A DAY
Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
Don't leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,
because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?
Pablo Neruda

oh Neruda is poetry - without him i feel poetry just has no life. he gives life to living. His heart, his soul, his spirit you'll find in his poems. To me, he's all i crave for in poetry. |

'You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming' What's the difference between a true revolutionary and a lover. Neruda shows you there is none. Fierce, fierce emotions and subtle words. You do choke my lost heart |
