Well, the reason for this thread is for us to share all the poems that we like the most from our favorite authors. Important: Isn't to post personal poems written by us, no, it is to place here all those poems that make us shudder, that we love, of recognized authors in the world of literature
I start with one of my favorite authors that I'm deeply in love
Love Sonnet XVII
I do not love you as if you were a salt rose, or topaz
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
-by Pablo Neruda
