[Harry H Howgill]

I have scarcely left you
when you go in me, crystalline,
or trembling,
or uneasy, wounded by me
or overwhelmed with love, as when your eyes
close upon the gift of life
that without cease I give you.

My love,
we have found each other
thirsty and we have
drunk up all the water and the blood,
we found each other
hungry
and we bit each other
as fire bites,
leaving wounds in us.

But wait for me,
keep for me your sweetness.
I will give you too
a rose.

Pablo Neruda

[Al Fowler]

Welcome to the thread AF.

Im useless at poems...but im going for the merry style of short but sweet.

I still cant get my head round why not all poems rhyme though

[Harry H Howgill]

I can't believe I found this on a wedding poetry site! Can't see Auntie Joyce approving!

Come slowly, Eden
Lips unused to thee.
Bashful, sip thy jasmines,
As the fainting bee,
Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums,
Counts his nectars -alights,
And is lost in balms!

Emily Dickinson

[Harry H Howgill]

Si Tu Me Olvidas

Quiero que sepas
una cosa.

T sabes cmo es esto:
si miro
la luna de cristal, la rama roja
del lento otoo en mi ventana,
si toco
junto al fuego
la impalpable ceniza
o el arrugado cuerpo de la lea,
todo me lleva a ti,
como si todo lo que existe:
aromas, luz, metales,
fueran pequeos barcos que navegan
hacia las islas tuyas que me aguardan.

Ahora bien,
si poco a poco dejas de quererme
dejar de quererte poco a poco.

Si de pronto
me olvidas
no me busques,
que ya te habr olvidado.

Si consideras largo y loco
el viento de banderas
que pasa por mi vida
y te decides
a dejarme a la orilla
del corazn en que tengo races,
piensa
que en esa da,
a esa hora
levantar los brazos
y saldrn mis races
a buscar otra tierra.

Pero
si cada da,
cada hora,
sientes que a m ests destinada
con dulzura implacable,
si cada da sube
una flor a tus labios a buscarme,
ay amor mo, ay ma,
en m todo ese fuego se repite,
en m nada se apaga ni se olvida,
mi amor se nutre de tu amor, amada,
y mientras vivas estar en tus brazos
sin salir de los mos.

Pablo Neruda

How romantic is THAT ?!








No, seriously; how romantic IS that? I can't speak Spanish.

Not my style Al, its Japanese, 3 lines, dunt ryhme, the first two lines are linked and the third moves away, ask Derby Tup, he knows more than me about haiku

[stevefoster]

For example:
Met a young lad called Al,
We had a trot up the Old Man to Wrynose and back
He moved away, i trailed behind, but what a day

I was so hoping someone would post their's too!

Anyway, I'm laughing at it not even having read it, so it must be good!

For example:
Met a young lad called Al,
We had a trot up the Old Man to Wrynose and back
He moved away, i trailed behind, but what a day

I met a machine named Merry,
God that man's got determination
He's doin' a BG, he'll nail it, supported by me.
