2 poems inspired by Pablo Neruda's first lines


Pablo Neruda 1934
From:
Las Furias Y Las Penas/
Furies and Sorrows    (1129),  1945

(En el fondo del pecho estamus juntos,)

In the depths of our hearts we are together.
Truth and powers were our daily tribunal,
And what we wrote as two came to pass
For others who were not as lucky as us.


Barcarole   (107),   1934


(Si solamente metocaras el corazon,)

If only you would touch my heart..
A place that has missed you like blood,
Aching for your very innocence and consciousness,
Passed by here forever like the body
Of the wind that dies in June.
