a valentines gift
It seems I go on and post something when there's something important to post, and this is one of those times. Valentines is fast approaching and of course I'd like to give something simple but sweet for my love. I found this poem surfing the net and I like to share it and dedicate it to my girlfriend, Andy.
El Alfarero
Pablo Neruda
Todo tu cuerpo tiene
copa o dulzura destinada a mí.
Cuando subo la mano
encuentro en cada sitio una paloma
que me buscaba, como
si te hubieran, amor, hecho de arcilla
para mis propias manos de alfarero.
Tus rodillas, tus senos
tu cintura
faltan en mí como en el hueco
de una tierra sedienta
de la que desprendieron
una forma,
y juntos
somos completos como un solo río,
como una sola arena.
Andy, you can ask me for the English translation if you want, or you could look for it by yourself. [smug_face] Happy Valentines dear. *kissu*
