I forgot your name.
I don't remember if your name was Light or Vine,
he gave me both the books and the night.

I forgot your voice, and your word, the dawns to their endeavor. In vain the day
but I know you are music he lavishly gives out his infinite books,
because when the hours dissolve arduous like the arduous manuscripts

WELCOME (MARIO BENEDETTI)


Poem of the Gifts
I think you're going to arrive differently.
not exactly prettier your eyes are my spell
neither stronger against the bad day
not more docile I love you for your gaze
no more cautious who looks and sows the future
you are just going to arrive differently
as if this season of not seeing me your mouth that is yours and mine
it would have surprised you too your mouth does not make mistakes
perhaps because you know I love you because of your mouth
how I think of you and enumerate you know how to shout rebellion

After all, nostalgia exists if I love you it’s because you are
even if we do not cry on the ghostly platforms my love my partner and everything
and on the street shoulder to shoulder

we are much more than two


(continued...)
and for your sincere face
neither about the pillows of candor
and your wandering step
neither under the opaque sky
and your cry for the world
because you are the people I love
I miss you
your memories
and how it frustrates me that he is nostalgic
(continuation...)

your face is the vanguard and because love is not a halo


maybe he/she arrives first you naive moral
because I painted it on the walls and because we are a couple
with invisible and secure strokes that knows she is not alone

don't forget that your face I want you in my paradise


he looks at me like a village that is to say in my country
smile and rage and sing people live happily
as a people even if I don't have permission
and that gives you a spark
unpayable if I love you, it's because you are
now I have no doubts my love my accomplice and everything
You are going to arrive different and with signs. And in the street, side by side.
with new we are much more than two.
with depth
with frankness

Repentant love,
I would like to count
You want to return to the nest.
with you through the frost and the fog;
it's so cute love that comes numb and stiff,
to know that you exist Where you were happy... everything has died!
one feels alive Don't come back... You will find everything in ruins!
and when I say this
I want to say to count What have you come for? Why did you return?
even if it is just until two What are you searching for?... No one will answer you!
even if it is up to five My soul is alone, and I am sad,
no, now for them to come immensely sad until death.

and they left... tired of not seeing you!
that you know you can

I found you on my way, laughing
13 LOVE POEMS (DARIO JARAMILLO)
in the fields the joyful spring...
First comes loneliness. all that light, aromas, and harmony.
In the entrails and at the center of the soul:
this is the essence, the basic data, the only certainty; Today... how different it all is! Step by step
and I am only traveling down the deserted road.
that only your breath accompanies you,
that you will always dance with your shadow, Ship adrift among turbulent waves
that darkness is you. thinking about the sorrows of the sunset,
and in the sorrows of lonely souls.

Around the gaze, it does not illuminate.


Your heart, that perplexing fruit, does not have to
to become bitter with your solitary fate; without roughness and gloomy moors;
let him wait without hope the nests in the snow are empty,
and the star that we loved no longer shines
that love is a gift that someday arrives by itself
alone. the blue of your dreams and mine.

You departed for an unknown distance


But first comes loneliness, when the shadow began to descend.
and you are alone, ...Do you remember? I was begging for my hope,
you are alone with your original sin -with you but my hope no longer speaks of you!
same-.
One night, at nine, You shall not be named!... For what?... Empty
love appears and everything explodes and something lights up
the altar is there, and history lies truncated.
inside you, Why wait for the day to shine!
and you become another, less bitter, happier; Why tell us: Not yet!
but don't forget, especially then, If a voice cries out in our souls: Never!
when love arrives and scorches you,
What is first and always is your solitude
You say you are the same; that in your chest
and then nothing
the sweet flame of other times burns;
that the nest of love is not destroyed,
And then, if it is to come, there is love.
that to love each other again, it is not too late.
And, you can see it, from the long journey
You are deceiving yourself!... Don't believe it!... Already the doubt I returned purer and stronger,
it took strong roots in my heart. because I slept all night
The faith of other years no longer shields me... in the knees of death.
My bare illusion remained as dreams,
And I can't believe what you are telling me! Because I was looking into your eyes
a sky of past things,
I can't believe it!... My faith mocked, like in the soul of the caves
my faith in your love lost, enchanted cities can be seen.
it is the longing of a shattered ship,
anchor at the bottom of the fallen sea! And because I saw your clear image,
between a halo of serene light,
Longings for a love, chaste and smiling, as never before, in mortal eyes,
you will never return... They are leaving... They are hiding! a earthly vision appeared.
Do you call them?... It's useless!... They don't answer...
They are already covered by the shroud of my dreams! Seeing you again was a dark
premonition I had
Spring left a long time ago... to find you unfamiliar, and yet
Winter has arrived, grim and gloomy! to continue believing that you were mine.
Hail was our love, traveler bird,
And the birds leave when it gets cold!

Or in the king of the islands of fragrant roses,
or in which he is sovereign of the clear diamonds,
I can write the saddest verses tonight. or in the proud owner of the pearls of Ormuz?
For example, write: "The night is starry,
and they twinkle, blue, the stars, in the distance. Oh, the poor princess with the rose-colored mouth
The night wind turns in the sky and sings. wants to be a swallow, wants to be a butterfly,
I can write the saddest verses tonight. to have lightweight wings, to fly under the sky;
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too. go to the sun by the luminous scale of a ray,
On nights like this I held her in my arms. greet the lilies with the verses of May
I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky. or to get lost in the wind over the thunder of the sea.
She loved me, sometimes I loved her too.
How could I not have loved her great fixed eyes. He no longer wants the palace, nor the silver spinning wheel,

I can write the saddest verses tonight. neither the enchanted falcon, nor the scarlet jester,
To think that I don't have her. To feel that I have lost her. neither the unanimous swans in the azure lake.
Hearing the immense night, even more immense without her. And the flowers are sad for the court flower,
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the grass. the jasmines of the East, the lotuses of the North,
What does it matter that my love couldn't keep it. from the West the dahlias and the roses of the South.

Oh, who would be the hipsipila that left the chrysalis! And it killed you, sad and small,

Arcane dream
ancestor of my smile KISSES (GABRIELA MISTRAL)
the world is emaciated
there is a padlock but no keys There are kisses that speak for themselves.
and there is fear but no tears. the condemning sentence of love,
there are kisses that are given with the gaze
What will I do with myself? there are kisses that are given with memory.

Because I owe what I am to You There are silent kisses, noble kisses
there are enigmatic, sincere kisses
But I don't have tomorrow there are kisses given only by souls
there are forbidden kisses, true ones.
Because to You...
There are kisses that burn and that wound,
The night suffers. there are kisses that take away the senses,
there are mysterious kisses that have left
a thousand wandering and lost dreams.
LIKE BEER CANS (ERNESTO
CARDINAL There are problematic kisses that enclose
a key that no one has deciphered,
like empty beer cans and cigarette butts there are kisses that give birth to tragedy
How many roses in bud have they plucked?
Of extinguished cigarettes, have been my days.
There are scented kisses, warm kisses
like figures that pass through a screen of that throb with intimate desires,
television There are kisses that leave marks on the lips
and they disappear, that has been my life. like a field of sun between two ice.

like the cars that passed by quickly on the There are kisses that seem like lilies
roads for sublime, naive, and pure,
there are treacherous and cowardly kisses,
with the laughter of girls and the music from radios...
There are cursed and perjured kisses.

Judas kisses Jesus and leaves an imprint

in the face of God, the felony,
and the songs from the radios that go out of style. while Magdalena with her kisses
she fortifies her agonizing piety.
and nothing is left of those days, nothing,
more than empty cans and extinguished cigarette butts, Since then, it pulsates in the kisses
love, betrayal, and pain,
laughter in wilted photos, broken tickets, human weddings look alike
to the breeze that plays with the flowers.

IN LOSING YOU There are kisses that cause delirium


of loving, burning, and crazy passion,
By losing you...
you know them well they are my kisses
By losing you to me invented by me, for your mouth.
You and I have lost:
I because you were Kisses of flame that in printed trail
they carry the furrows of a forbidden love,

I have never seen again
Do you remember the first one...? Indefinable; to the one who died of love.

and in the spasms of terrible emotion,
Your eyes filled with tears. Simple Verses
Do you remember that one afternoon in wild excess I am a sincere man
I saw you jealous imagining grievances, Where the palm tree grows.
I suspended you in my arms... a kiss vibrated, And before I die, I want
and what did you see after...? Blood on my lips. Pour my verses from the soul.

I taught you how to kiss: the cold kisses I come from everywhere,
they are of an impassive heart of stone, And I go everywhere:
I taught you to kiss with my kisses I am art among the arts,
In the mountains, I am a mountain.

I know the strange names
Of the herbs and the flowers,
The Girl from Guatemala And of mortal deceits,
And of sublime pains.
I want, in the shade of a wing,
to tell this story in flower: I have seen in the dark night
the girl from Guatemala, Rain over my head
the one who died of love. The rays of pure light
Of divine beauty.
They were lily branches;
and the borders of reseda Alas born I saw on the shoulders

Flying the butterflies.
She gave to the forgetful one

With the dagger at the side,

Never saying the name
she died of love.
Of the one who has killed him.
They were carrying her on a litter
Quick as a reflex,
bishops and ambassadors; I saw the soul twice, twice:
behind the town went in groups, When the poor old man died,
all loaded with flowers... When she said goodbye.

She, to see him again, I trembled once - at the gate,


went out to see him at the lookout; At the entrance of the vineyard,
he went back to his wife, When the barbaric bee
she died of love. He poked my girl in the forehead.

I enjoyed it once, in such a way


Like hot bronze,
What I enjoyed like never before: when

it was his forehead - the forehead

AUTUMN SUMMARY (JULIOCORTÁZAR) They worry about love. The loving ones.
They live day by day, they can't do more, they don't know.
In the vault of the evening, each bird is a dot of the

It sometimes amazes one that the fervor of time always, to somewhere.

They know they will never find.
And so, what more than to be with arms down, Love is the perpetual extension,

What was pink or way. The loving ones are the insatiable,
The flight exceeds the wing. those who always -how nice!- must be alone.
