1 " I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul. "
― Pablo Neruda , 100 Love Sonnets
2 " In this part of the story I am the one whodies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,because I love you, Love, in fire and in blood. "
3 " And I, infinitesimal being, drunk with the great starry void, likeness, image of mystery, I felt myself a pure part of the abyss, I wheeled with the stars, my heart broke loose on the wind. "
4 " 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. "
5 " By night, Love, tie your heart to mine, and the two together in their sleep will defeat the darkness "
6 " Green was the silence, wet was the light,the month of June trembled like a butterfly. "
7 " Love is a clash of lightnings "
8 " yo te amo para comenzar a amarte,para recomenzar el infinitoy para no dejar de amarte nunca:por eso no te amo todavía. "
9 " By night, beloved, tie your heart to mineand let them both in dreams defeat the darkness "
10 " You are the trembling of time, that passesbetween vertical light and darkened sky, "
11 " You, in bloom, heart, beloved,you are like the foliage of the sky over my eyesand I look at you lying on the earth "
12 " my beauty, flower by flower, star by star,wave by wave, love, I have counted your body. "
13 " My ugly one, I love you for your waist of gold,my beauty, I love you because of a wrinkle on your forehead,love, I love you because you are clear and dark. "
14 " Come see the cherry trees of a water constellationand the round key of the rapid universe,come touch the fire of instantaneous blue,come before its petals are consumed. "
15 " Naked you are blue like the night in Cuba,you have vines and stars in your hair, "
16 " from that terrible love the soft pure handsgave peace to my eyes and sun to my senses. "
17 " Love brought its tail of pains,its long static beam of thorns,and we close our eyes so that nothing,so that no wound will separate us. "
18 " No one will retrieve my lost heartamidst so many roots, in the bitter freshnessof the sun multiplied by the fury of the water,there the shadow lives that does not travel with me. "
19 " I cannot quit your love without dying. "
20 " I love you in order to begin loving you,to start infinity againand never to stop loving you:that is why I do not love you yet. "
