Time separates us in the most tragic of ways My 21st century mouth is wet for you My tongue would rain on your rose petals And nourish your palms, eyes closed, panting, words. I grow from your golden ashes a woman The roses have wilted and left only death cherries I eat them one by one- I snack on the forbidden fruits And stain my lips with the darker juices My words are weakening with my world I come to you- palms flat on the dirt Pining for your pinning language And I will eat them too, swallow them and wait Until further instruction.

Dear Mr. Neruda
Time separates us in the most tragic of ways My 21st century mouth is wet for you My tongue would rain on your rose petals And nourish your palms, eyes closed, panting, words. I grow from your golden ashes a woman The roses have wilted and left only death cherries I eat them one by one- I snack on the forbidden fruits And stain my lips with the darker juices My words are weakening with my world I come to you- palms flat on the dirt Pining for your pinning language And I will eat them too, swallow them and wait Until further instruction.
Please read this and give me as much feedback as possible. I really want to capture his vibe
