And your soul that I awoke
So that it could go on
Singing until the end of life.

#poemaday #NerudaEveryDay I know I was slack in this for a long time but finally finished this little book and oh how I adore it! It truly is a love story in poem form.

Gissy Precioso! ❤️❤️❤️ 4y

Odas y germinaciones
II
And you came to my kisses with the fire
Of an unchained meteor
And as you melted into my blood, the sweetness
Of the wild plum
Of our childhood I recieved in my mouth,
And I pressed you to my chest as
If I were regaining earth and life.

Odas y Germinaciones

And with you I become again
The earth that you are:
In me you are deep spring:
In you I know again how I am born.

Pequeña América

And your beauty then
Not only lights the fire
Which burns without dying out among us,
But also with your love is calling me
And across your life
It is giving me the life I lack
And to the taste of your love clay is added,
The kiss of the earth which awaits me.

Tú venías

You came walking,
You came naked and scratched,
You reached my bed bloodied,
My bride,
And then
All night we walked
Sleeping
And when we woke
You were whole and new...

El Olvido

Stay on the road.
Night has arrived for you.
Perhaps in the early morning
We will see each other again.

Ay, great love, little beloved!

So if anyone thought I fell off the #NerudaEveryDay you were definitely mistaken! 😂
I've been going through this but haven't been posting because many of these are found in the little pink love poems book. Soon I will get to ones that aren't in there and I'll post.
I love the story behind these poems, because until I read the intro to this book I didn't know he published this book anonymously. So interesting!

Feb. 5 - El viento en la isla - "El viento es un caballo: / óyelo como corre / por el mar, por el cielo." I love the evocative language that opens this poem. #LitsyPoetry365

Neruda was the first poet I fell in love with, back in high school. My English teacher brought in books for a poetry day and we read out loud to each other, and when I read some of Neruda's sonnets, every single girl in the class let out a long sigh. After the laughter stopped, my teacher said "boys, that's why you should all respect poetry." #augustphotochallenge #poetry

Two of my favorite poets for today's August of Pages challenge. #augustphotochallenge

RealLifeReading I think I have the same Neruda! Just that it's in Singapore 8y
k_andrws Looks like we have very similar tastes in poetry! 8y
Broke_Girl_Reads Two of my favorites as well! 8y
Louise Great choices! I have the same e.e. cummings edition, and the Neruda cover looks very familiar too! 8y
