A Taste of Neruda

The passionate propensity
   of waxing moons' passages,
I crave your poetry
    as the air I breathe,
vital spirit aches within intention
    hungering the darkly blissed 
       taste of essential Neruda -
midst the significance of
  rose and topaz beyond
        arrows of wildflowers,
whence your own scripted
   inclinations unfurl
     searing 'neath my flesh,
   rendering me speechless
      'tween lustful sighs,
   I utterly surrender in exhales
      of a thousand blazing suns

“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, 
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.” 
                                          Pablo Neruda
