Pablo Neruda

A man and a poet of extraordinary powers,
of the written verse to which flows, passion, 
so much more then simple words entice,
readers to see what shall not be hid.
Unexpected lines depict such simple views,
while beautiful spectrums of delight,
rise from every line he writes.
Political reality overshadows his life,
while periods of love shines into verse,
that takes control of such a deliberate man.
Pablo Neruda a pen name at first took over, 
every aspect of his life and words became,
reality and a powerful poet and writer emerged.
