1
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.Pablo Neruda
2
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.Pablo Neruda
3
In this part of the story I am the one whodies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you, because I love you, Love, in fire and in blood.Pablo Neruda
4
And I, infinitesimaÂl being, drunk with the great starry void, likeness, image of mystery, I felt myself a pure part of the abyss, I wheeled with the stars, my heart broke loose on the wind.Pablo Neruda
5
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.Pablo Neruda
6
By night, Love, tie your heart to mine, and the two together in their sleep will defeat the darknessPablo Neruda
7
Green was the silence, wet was the light, the month of June trembled like a butterfly.Pablo Neruda
8
Love is a clash of lightningsPablo Neruda
9
By night, beloved, tie your heart to mineand let them both in dreams defeat the darknessPablo Neruda
10
You are the trembling of time, that passesbetween vertical light and darkened sky,Pablo Neruda
11
You, in bloom, heart, beloved, you are like the foliage of the sky over my eyesand I look at you lying on the earthPablo Neruda
12
My beauty, flower by flower, star by star, wave by wave, love, I have counted your body.Pablo Neruda
13
My ugly one, I love you for your waist of gold, my beauty, I love you because of a wrinkle on your forehead, love, I love you because you are clear and dark.Pablo Neruda
14
Come see the cherry trees of a water constellationand the round key of the rapid universe, come touch the fire of instantaneous blue, come before its petals are consumed.Pablo Neruda
15
Naked you are blue like the night in Cuba, you have vines and stars in your hair,Pablo Neruda
16
From that terrible love the soft pure handsgave peace to my eyes and sun to my senses.Pablo Neruda
17
Love brought its tail of pains, its long static beam of thorns, and we close our eyes so that nothing, so that no wound will separate us.Pablo Neruda
18
No one will retrieve my lost heartamidst so many roots, in the bitter freshnessof the sun multiplied by the fury of the water, there the shadow lives that does not travel with me.Pablo Neruda
19
I cannot quit your love without dying.Pablo Neruda
20
I love you in order to begin loving you, to start infinity againand never to stop loving you:that is why I do not love you yet.Pablo Neruda
21
I love you without knowing how, nor when, nor from where, I love you directly without problems or pride: I love you this way because I know no other way to love,Pablo Neruda
22
I have hunger for your mouth, for your voice, for your hairPablo Neruda
23
I touched you and my life stoppedPablo Neruda
24
Oh invade me with your scalding mouth, search me if you like, with your nocturnal eyes, but allow me to sail and sleep upon your name.Pablo Neruda
25
Love, my territory of kisses and volcanoes.Pablo Neruda
26
I love the piece of earth you are, because in all the planetary prairies I do not have another star. You repeatthe multiplication of the universe.Pablo Neruda
27
I repeated: come with me, as if I were dying, and no one saw in my mouth the moon that was bleeding, no one saw the blood that was rising into the silence. Oh love, now let us forget the star with thorns!Pablo Neruda
28
Of so much moon were your hips to me, of all the sun your deep mouth and its delight, of so much burning light like honey in the shadePablo Neruda
29
I love you like the plant that does not bloomand carries in itself, hidden, the light of those flowers,Pablo Neruda
30
Oh, beloved, and there is nothing but shadowswhere you accompany me in your dreamsand tell me the hour of light.Pablo Neruda
31
I know you exist not just because your eyes flyand give light to things like an open windowPablo Neruda
32
I will die kissing your mad cold mouth, embracing the lost bouquet of your body, and searching for the light of your closed eyesPablo Neruda
33
I loved you without knowing it, and I looked for your memory. In empty houses I entered with a lantern to steal your portraitPablo Neruda
34
And everything burned in blue, everything a starPablo Neruda
35
Your eyes have the colour of the moon,Pablo Neruda
36
I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or youPablo Neruda
37
So close that your hand upon my chest is mine, so close that your eyes close with my sleep.Pablo Neruda
38
You will fall with me as a stone in the gravePablo Neruda
