A meditation on Pablo Neruda's love poems
Only do not forget, if I wake up crying
it's only because in my dream I'm a lost child
hunting through the leaves of the night for your hands....”

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” ― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets |
“As if you were on fire from within. The moon lives in the lining of your skin.” ― Pablo Neruda |
“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.” ― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets |
“But I love your feet only because they walked upon the earth and upon the wind and upon the waters, until they found me.” ― Pablo Neruda |
“I want To do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.” ― Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair |
