Don'T Go Far Off Poem by Pablo Neruda
Don'T Go Far Off
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?
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach; may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance. I could never read these words and not be touched by the desolation felt..... only a true soul could place these words with such meaning...beautiful....
Oh Pablo, you move me brother, only the ones who have really Experienced loss and pain in love can understand, sometimes it feels like a curse but my friend as you know to feel is a blessing, thank you
Beautiful.. Never leave me alone lest I wonder. Quite touchy.
I congratulate the extraordinary romantic nobel prize winning poet of this century... imagination at its full swing!
This is one which could have influenced 1997 nobel comittee... fabulous use of hyperbole!
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? --Intense feelings of love when a separation for a second seems unbearable---
