Today I would like to share poems from one of the world's most amazing poets, Pablo Neruda. I enjoy reading his work in the evening while sipping on a nice warm cup of organic herbal tea( sometimes I add a little agave nectar and almond milk) after the boys are in bed. I have found that his words can calm my minds and soothe my soul. Enjoy my loves!!
Tie your heart at night to mine,
love, and both will defeat the darkness like twin drums beating in the forest against the heavy wall of wet leaves. Night crossing: black coal of dream that cuts the thread of earthly orbs with the punctuality of a head long train that pulls cold stone and shadow endlessly. Love, because of it, tie me to a purer movement, to the grip on life that beats in your breast, with the wings of a submerged swan, So that our dream might reply to the sky’s questioning stars with one key, one door closed to shadow.
Love,
Because of you, in gardens of blossoming flowers I ache from the perfumes of spring. I have forgotten your face, I no longer remember your hands; how did your lips feel on mine? Because of you, I love the white statues drowsing in the parks, the white statues that have neither voice nor sight. I have forgotten your voice, your happy voice; I have forgotten your eyes. Like a flower to its perfume, I am bound to my vague memory of you. I live with pain that is like a wound; if you touch me, you will do me irreparable harm. Your caresses enfold me, like climbing vines on melancholy walls. I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to glimpse you in every window. Because of you, the heady perfumes of summer pain me; because of you, I again seek out the signs that precipitate desires: shooting stars, falling objects.
Pablo Neruda~Chilean poet, diplomat, and politician who received Pulitizer Prize award for Literature in 1971
