~loving Neruda

impressions of the movie and the man

 

 

 

Neruda, my vision of the love of lovers
I have seen you through another lens
you, whose words seemed to flow like a river of light
a prism reflecting moon and sun streams

I fashioned the writer as loving One love
yet he wrote his life in a river of rough waters
his "she" had many faces
I dreamed this love in my own words
Neruda, you wrote yourself in sunsets exquisite
     lived split energies 
made love to many women..
     yet painted love in words the world aspires to

 

I will paint you in moon
choosing the Neruda who bled ink

over the man of flesh and blood..
