on Sonnet XVII: I do not love you as if you were brine-rose, topaz by Pablo Neruda, on September 20, 2004
This is one of my fav. poems by Neruda(who just happens to be my fav. poet) Neruda's style is such that it reminds you of how it feels to lay on your back on a clear night and just stare at the starred sky, pronounced by a full moon. That rushing sensation that reminds you always how it feels to love purely. This man had a gift to make the reader adapt to the feeling of the poem, to absorb the essence of its meaning. Incredible. Other poems by him that you guys might find interesting to read are "Tonight i can Write" and ( I knly know its name in spanish...but look for its translation) "Me Gusta Cuando Callas" I have them both in my list of fav. Poems on my website at bibi178.tripod.com you can read them in spanish there.I hope you all will take the time to read through his works, because it is worth it!
