Love Sonnet.....
"I
crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. Silent and starving, I prowl through
the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day I hunt for
the liquid measure of your steps. I hunger for your sleek laugh, your hands the
color of a savage harvest, hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails, I
want to eat your skin like a whole almond. I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in
your lovely body, the sovereign nose of your arrogant face, I want to eat the
fleeting shade of your lashes, and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart, like a puma in the barrens of
Quitratue." — "Love Sonnet XI" by Pablo Neruda
