)
In tune with the season of love I’m presenting you with my favorite poem.
This is a classic Pablo Neruda. Enjoy guys!
Tonight I can write the saddest lines
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example,’The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.’The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered and she is not with me.This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.I no longer love her, that’s certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.Another’s. She will be another’s. Like my kisses before.
Her voide. Her bright body. Her inifinite eyes.I no longer love her, that’s certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my sould is not satisfied that it has lost her.Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.

Look at your past. Your past has determined where you are at this moment. What you do today will determine where you are tomorrow. Are you moving forward or standing still? – Tom Hopkins.

it is amazing how u hav lovd someone as if that person meant the whole world to u and now that u r with another, u r asking urself can i lov this person the same way as u hav lovd her/ him. love has so many levels i suppose. it is better to love and have lost than to never lovd at all.

Is it alright if I write a poem here? I’m very much touched by the Pablo Neruda classic.
The Wind
Sometimes I hear the trees speak
to me, of the mysteries
that life brings
At times I watch people wander
through day to day, asking
for a purpose
Some days, I question if
I am living a dream,
my dream…
And once I have loved a bubble
in all of its effervescence
with a prick of a needle –
it disappeared
But of all these times
my mind hides a shadow,
a distant memory
it took a long time for me
to forgive, and forget
When I was young
I was constantly searching
for a place where I belong.
As an adult I realized
I cannot really belong
to anyone, anywhere
only to God
With all the naivety
I promised that I would
only love God and the bubble
I am uncertain if that promise
remained true
And now that my heart is
no longer my own
the bubble, the dream
will always be an inspiration
for my spirit to move on
Maybe I have really loved the bubble -
the closest to my heart
like the wind the refreshes my soul
when the rain is near.
