Leave my head in the clouds, where fantasy dreams are found

Let me float away, the hours of the day, where unrealistic thoughts can play

Allow me just today, to sink in to my mind, leaving reality far behind

Please give me the time and space, to witness the moon kindly take the suns place

Lighting up the blue night sky, stars humming a gentle lullaby

The beauty, the simplicity, as sun and day withdraw and moon and stars dance till dawn

Pablo Neruda
(1904 - 1973)


Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.

Don't leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.

Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,

because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?

(very good reader)

I dream of laying on your knee
While you softly read me poetry
A quiet corner in the park
As daytime fizzles in to dark
Sharing Italian red wine
Before I take you out to dine
Somewhere quiet and unassuming
With a jazz musician crooning
Today has ended far to fast
We both wanted it to longer last
Should I book a nice hotel?
I want to stay under your spell
I go ahead and book the room
Where we promise only to talk and spoon
Spooning leads to touching
I admit it's what I was lusting
Now we're here wrapped in white sheet
Can I lay on your chest and drift of to sleep?
