Poetry Quote by Pablo Neruda — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I stalk certain words... I catch them in mid-flight, as they buzz past, I trap them, clean them, peel them, I set myself in front of the dish, they have a crystalline texture to me, vibrant, ivory, vegetable, oily, like fruit, like algae, like agates, like olives... I stir them, I shake them, I drink them, I gulp them down, I mash them, I garnish them... I leave them in my poem like stalactites, like slivers of polished wood, like coals, like pickings from a shipwreck, gifts from the waves... Everything exists in the word.”

“Escóndeme en tus brazos”

“I shivered in those”

“The days aren't discarded or collected, they are bees”

“I don't want to go on being a root in the dark,”

“LXXIX”

“I need you because I know I deserve you but let me fall in love with you one last time before I let go. So I can remember the beautiful imperfection that rattled my bones.”

“Under the summer roses”

“If Springtime crawls out of the”

“THE SILENT PEOPLE”

“All of us wild and fighting for our lives. In the fragrant wilderness of this blue night, my heart sings along with the other nocturnal beasts.”

“You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link.”
