POETIC COLOURS OF LATIN AMERICAN – Pablo Neruda: Love Trilogy

neruda1.1neruda1.1I 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.”neruda2.2neruda2.2

 Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me, I shall stop loving you, little by little, if suddenly you forget me. Do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms, and my roots will set off to seek another land.”neruda3.1neruda3.1

 We the mortals touch the metals, the wind, the ocean shores, the stones, knowing they will go on, inert or burning, and I was discovering, naming all the these things: it was my destiny to love and say goodbye.”
