Pablo Neruda Translations

Nostalgia
At the core exists his emptiness
Spineless unrest smothers him
All due to nature’s wavering obscurity
And stumped awareness of inherent security
Fear took charge and penetrated his inner skin
Seeped into his veins
Then settled in marrow
And so his...

timing is everything
time now to say it,

what you did

self-destiny is
inherent in us all,

Arised
"Arised"
Plath took a silken bath
submerged in dreams
baptised in black molasses and a warmth to leave
Arised

lead him out of Honey Land
Bees buzzed his mind stung his eyes
when he walked out...

The Legend of a Lyricist
I am what you would call the last.
The outcast of a breed,
fading so fast
that people loose track of its original art.
Its original words spoken from the heart.

Without You
Without you, everything I do
loses value every day.
Habitual things that mattered,
yesterday,
are hard to do, today.
Yoga in the morning,
even my daily poetry,
have suddenly lost their meaning,
and I tend to oversleep.
These give the lie to any...

Lapse of Existence
As nightfalls come to fruition
Leaving room of conditions
For dreams to strive
And before dawn breaks
Memory ceases to create
So to mediate
Our corporal world
Into transient capacities
Of unborn fallacies
To mitigate now’s journey
Into sanctuaries bearing
All fruits of now’s nativity
In proximity...

Dream Lover
Laying in bed between crisp white sheets,
I hear the yelping of Mr. Martinez dog,
while the crickets croon to the night.
A frog's ardent love call remains unanswered,
as my husband's restless snores beg for oxygen.
Furtive moonbeams...
