Monday Poetry Reading - 22MAR04 - Here I Love You

Aquí Te Amo

(Pablo Neruda; 1924)

• melanie - beautiful! Dreama read one by Pablo Neruda a while back, you should ask her to put it back up for you to hear :)
• Dreama Lynn - Beautiful! I love Neruda, and this is one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing, and for taking part in MPR, I hope you share another poem with us next week!

Here I love you.
In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself. 
The moon glows like phosphorus on the vagrant waters.
Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.

My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose.
I love what I do not have. You are so far.
My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights.
But night comes and starts to sing to me.

The moon turns its clockwork dream.
The biggest stars look at me with your eyes.
And as I love you, the pines in the wind
want to sing your name with their leaves of wire.
