Image
And what has become of it, where is that onetime love? Now it is the grave of a bird, a drop of black quartz, a chunk of wood eroded by the rain.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I don't know who it is who lives or dies, who rests or wakes, but it is your heart that distributes all the graces of the daybreak in my breast.
Pablo Neruda
Image
With which stars do they go on speaking,the rivers that never reach the sea?
Pablo Neruda
Image
Look around—there's only one thing of danger for you here—poetry.
Pablo Neruda
Image
And I watch my words from a long way off. They are more yours than mine. They climb on my old suffering like ivy.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I spin on the circle of wave upon wave of the sea.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Nobody can claim the name of Pedro, nobody is Rosa or María, all of us are dust or sand, all of us are rain under rain. They have spoken to me of Venezuelas, of Chiles and Paraguays I have no idea what they are saying. I know only the skin of the earth and I know it has no name.
Pablo Neruda
Image
so I wait for you like a lonely house till you will see me again and live in me. Till then my windows ache.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Take bread away from me, if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter.
Pablo Neruda
Image
How you must have suffered getting accustomed to me, my savage, solitary soul, my name that sends them all running. So many times we have seen the morning star burn, kissing our eyes, and over our heads the grey light unwinds in turning fans.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Green was the silence, wet was the light, the month of June trembled like a butterfly.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Perhaps this war will pass like the others which divided us leaving us dead, killing us along with the killers but the shame of this time puts its burning fingers to our faces. Who will erase the ruthlessness hidden in innocent blood?
Pablo Neruda
Image
Then Scale by scale, We strip off The delicacy And eat The peaceful mush Of its green heart.
Pablo Neruda
Image
The night is shattered, and the blue stars shiver in the distance.
Pablo Neruda
Image
sometimes i get up at dawn, and even my soul is wet.
Pablo Neruda
Image
We came by night to the Fortunate Isles, And lay like fish Under the net of our kisses.
Pablo Neruda
Image
A child who does not play is not a child, but the man who doesn't play has lost forever the child who lived in him and who he will miss terribly.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I built up these lumber piles of love, and with fourteen boards each I built little houses, so that your eyes, which I adore and sing to, might live in them. Now that I have declared the foundations of my love, I surrender this century to you: wooden sonnets that rise only because you gave them life.

What will they say about my poetry who never touched my blood?
Pablo Neruda

Sometimes a piece of sun burned like a coin in my hand.
