Tie your heart at night to mine, love,
and both will defeat the darkness
like twin drums beating in the forest
against the heavy wall of wet leaves.
Night crossing: black coal of dream
that cuts the thread of earthly orbs
with the punctuality of a headlong train
that pulls cold stone and shadow endlessly.
Love, because of it, tie me to a purer movement,
to the grip on life that beats in your breast,
with the wings of a submerged swan,
So that our dream might reply
to the skys questioning stars
with one key, one door closed to shadow.
-Pablo Neruda

Hi blogging friends. I hope you have a great weekend and Happy National Poetry Month :) I figured i'd post some Neruda. 'Tie your heart at night to mine, love,
and both will defeat the darkness'. I love it!
Make sure to stop by Serena's Blog, she is doing a National Poetry Month 2010 Blog Tour. And please come visit on April 24, where it's my turn on the tour, i'll be showcasing....you guessed it....Pablo Neruda.
