Pablo Neruda

A collection of gorgeous lines from Pablo Neruda’s poetry. Use as inspiration for your next writing or drawing project - or simply enjoy :)

“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.”

“I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.”

“Everything carries me to you.”

“I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.”

“So many times we have seen the morning star burn, kissing our eyes.”

“I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.”

“But the hour of vengeance falls, and I love you.”

“And you are like the word: Melancholy.”

“You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations.”

“One word then, one smile is enough.”

“And I will die of love because I love you.”

“Naked you are blue as a night in Cuba; you’ve vines and stars in your hair.”

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.”

“[Love] is like a long river, only changing lands, and changing lips.”

“I love you because I know no other way.”

“I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky.”

“Ah our love is a harsh cord.”

“Everything you do is full of flowers, rich with the earth.”

“In you the rivers sing and my soul flees in them.”

“I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.”

“ I felt myself a pure part of the abyss, I wheeled with the stars, my heart broke free on the open sky.”

“In me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved.” 

“Every day you play with the light of the universe.”

“You fill everything, you fill everything.”
