Absence Poem by Pablo Neruda
Absence
I have scarcely left you
When you go in me, crystalline,
Or trembling,
Or uneasy, wounded by me
Or overwhelmed with love, as
when your eyes
Close upon the gift of life
That without cease I give you.
My love,
We have found each other
Thirsty and we have
Drunk up all the water and the
Blood,
We found each other
Hungry
And we bit each other
As fire bites,
Leaving wounds in us.
But wait for me,
Keep for me your sweetness.
I will give you too
A rose.
It's as if, they both know they have flaws and mistakes. But the poet all asks is for a little faith in their love, that they don't give up or give in... because in the end, all will end well.
But wait for me, Keep for me your sweetness. I will give you too A rose. The most romantic lines I've read so far, simple, close, personal n touchy. I like his language style, they offer the connection a lot of poets lack.
We have found each other Thirsty and we have Drunk up all the water and the Blood; this is my favourite
Wait for me, my love take me in your minds heart take me in your mouth, kiss me when our existences are too far apart keep me in your dream hold me when fears hold on instead of your arms...
Their yearning for love is so deep that if one gives sweeness the other will offer a rose.
