Poem To Pablo Neruda

Captain of the Farthest Islands
living poem between my prose
that each one was exchanged for roses
with moonlight and roving mornings


You loved as few have loved
with the madness of sea and clear lyrics
the greatest poet that will remain in us
like him in the calm portrayed...


The island was light and your horizon
was a witness to your fate, luck
let me offer my verse back to you


Weather companion here awaits you
beyond this letter and this death
I follow your companion trace...!

A tribute to Neruda... a most worthy poet. To love with anything less than the madness of the sea is not love. It's simply infatuation. “I want to do with you what the spring does with the cherry trees” – Pablo Neruda
