If you forget me by Neruda

If I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch, in the slow autum at my window, everything carries me to you.

It is as if EVERYTHING that exsists, aromas, light, metals, were tiny boats that sailed towards those islands of yours that wait for me.

Pablo Neruda

    i know a poet
    all locked up
    i got to go find him
    cause hes the best
    i wonder if he writes anymore
    i wonder if i know him anymore

    hes all locked up
    he kept messin up
    his life was run over by a truck

    we are the same soul me and him
    hes got the iq i ve got the shit
    i wonder if i show up with a bomb
    if theyd let him go and roam along

    i love pablo neruda - i first read him in spanish class in school. had to translate his poems into english. he is a wonder in any language to be sure. one of my favorites is a vivid poem about the effects of the war in Spain and the assasination of his friend Federico Garcia Lorca.

    He was an extremely talented writer and lead a very interesting life and as chance would have it i was just reading him at 2 am...Gita must have been reading my mind :)
