Excerpts from Neruda's romantic poems
In my barren land, you are the last rose.
——Neruda "Twenty Love Poems and Songs of Despair"
.
I even believe that you own the entire universe, and I want to bring you from the mountain Bring you flowers of joy, bring you bells, black hazelnuts, and baskets of wild kisses, I want to treat you as spring treats cherry trees.
——Neruda "Twenty Love Poems and Songs of Despair"
.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning, and my soul is even wet. In the distance, the ocean sounded and echoed. This is a port where I love you.
——Neruda "Twenty Love Poems and Songs of Despair"
.
There is thirst and hunger, and you are the fruit. There is grief and disillusionment, and you are the miracle.
——Neruda "Twenty Love Poems and Songs of Despair"
.
You are like the night, with loneliness and stars. Your silence is the silence of the stars, distant and bright.
——Neruda "I Like That You Are Silent"
.
Every day will fall into the sinking pool of night, like there is Such a well locks in the light.
——Neruda "If Day Falls in..."
.
All youth is like a lamp, washed away in the rain, Wet but burning.
——Neruda "Youth"
.
I wake up because the birds sleeping in your heart are always migrating, always escape.
——Neruda
