Rainer Maria Rilke







Extinguish my eyes,

 I'll go on seeing you. 

Seal my ears,

 I'll go on hearing you.

 And without feet I can make my way to you, 

without a mouth I can swear your name.

 Break off my arms,

 I'll take hold of you with my heart as with a hand. 

Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat.

 And if you consume my brain with fire,

 I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.”


 ― Rainer Maria Rilke

Pablo Neruda : Don't go far off



Don't go far off 

not even for a day

 because  because  I don't know how to say it

 a day is long and I will be waiting for you

 as in an empty station 

when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep. Don't go far off

not even for a day

because  because  I don't know how to say it

 a day is long and I will be waiting for you 

as in an empty station when the trains are parked off somewhere else  asleep.


 Pablo Neruda

Dylan Thomas

 

I love you so much I’ll never be able to tell you; 

I’m frightened to tell you. 

I can always feel your heart.

 Dance tunes are always right

 I love you body and soul 

and I suppose body means that I want to touch you

 and be in bed with you,

 and i suppose soul means that i can hear you

 and see you and love you in every single,

 single thing in the whole world asleep or awake”

                                                                   Dylan Thomas


Pablo Neruda I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You


I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You

Pablo Neruda 
                                     I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.


I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.



Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.



In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.
