spanish poetry

if i read you
pablo neruda
with faux spanish lilts
will you smile at me
deliciously

listen to the inflections
in my voice
until we fall asleep
in a blanket
of momentos silenciosos.

if i read you
spanish poetry
will you
adóreme.

remind me of kindness
with your warm
liquid eyes.
i barely comprehend
all the parts of you
i recognize.

if i sing you
pablo neruda
to the sounds of
your guitar
are we sharing music
or poetry
or perhaps
it is
eternity.

mira...
how your silent moments
awaken such sweet
sounds
in me.

This is nice. Obviously you like Neruda. You might consider a tiny alteration which will drastically alter the poem but imbue it with the kind of mystery you seek. But I'll send it to you in an e-mail. :-)

This is a very good poem with a feel of Pablo Neruda's work.

when the sounds of their song became
when the touch of their linen became
as the fragrance of their skin was becoming
so became their longing into being

Awesome, it is amazing how we desire the exotic, how it fires the imagination and triggers our fantasies. Great poem depicting that deep desire that hides within us all :)
