When I sleep every night, what am I called or not called? And when I wake, who am I if I was not I while I slept?
PABLO NERUDAWhen I sleep every night, what am I called or not called? And when I wake, who am I if I was not I while I slept?
PABLO NERUDALove! Love until the night collapses!
PABLO NERUDAThere were thirst and hunger, and you were the fruit. There were grief and the ruins, and you were the miracle.
PABLO NERUDAIn this part of the story I am the one who dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you, because I love you, Love, in fire and in blood.
PABLO NERUDAIn the distance someone is singing.
PABLO NERUDAIn one kiss, you’ll know all I haven’t said.
PABLO NERUDAAnd when you appear all the rivers sound in my body, bells shake the sky, and a hymn fills the world.
PABLO NERUDAYou are like night, calmed, constellated. Your silence is star-like, as distant, as true.
PABLO NERUDALove is so short, forgetting is so long.
PABLO NERUDAIn love, you have loosened yourself like seawater.
PABLO NERUDAI like on the table, when we’re speaking, the light of a bottle of intelligent wine.
PABLO NERUDAI am a book of snow, a spacious hand, an open meadow, a circle that waits, I belong to the earth and its winter.
PABLO NERUDAAll paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are.
PABLO NERUDALove is not about property, diamonds and gifts. It is about sharing your very self with the world around you.
PABLO NERUDAShyness is a condition foreign to the heart – a category, a dimension which leads to loneliness.
PABLO NERUDAMy soul is an empty carousel at sunset.
