Poem 1

POEM XII
Pablo Neruda
Your chest is enough for my heart,
my wings are enough for your freedom.
From my mouth will reach the sky
what was asleep on your soul.

It is in you the illusion of every day.

You come like the dew to the corollas.
You undermine the horizon with your absence.
Eternally on the run like a wave.

I have said that you sang in the wind

like the pines and like the masts.
Like them you are tall and taciturn.
And you suddenly get sad like a journey.

Welcoming as an old road.

You're full of echoes and nostalgic voices.
I woke up and sometimes
birds that slept in your soul migrate and flee.

Poem 2

Poem IV
Pablo Neruda
It is the morning full of storms
in the heart of summer.

The clouds travel like white goodbye handkerchiefs,

the wind shakes them with its traveling hands.

Countless heart of the wind

beating over our silence in love.

Buzzing through the trees, orchestral and divine,

like a language full of wars and songs.
Wind that carries the fallen leaves in rapid steal
and deflects the beating arrows of the birds.

Wind that knocks it down in a wave without foam

and substance without weight, and inclined fires.

It breaks and submerges its volume of kisses

fought in the door of the summer wind.

Poem 3

To jealousy
 Luis de Góngora

Oh fog of the most serene state,

Infernal fury, ill-born serpent!

Oh poisonous viper hidden

From green meadow in fragrant bosom!

Oh among the nectar of deadly poison Love,

That in a crystal glass you take away life!

O sword over me by a hair seized,

Of the loving spur hard brake!

Oh zeal, of the eternal executioner favor!

Go back to the sad place where you were,

Or to the kingdom (if you fit there) of terror;

But you won't fit there, because there's so much

That you eat of yourself and you don't finish,

You must be greater than hell itself

Poem 4

To a man with a big nose

Francisco de Quevedo
Once upon a time there was a man stuck to a nose,

Once upon a superlative nose,

Once upon a half-alive alquitar,

Once upon a badly bearded swordfish;

It was a badly faced sundial.

Once upon a time there was an elephant upside down,

Once upon a nose sayón and scribe,

An Ovid Nasón with a bad nose.

 Once upon a galley spur,

Once upon a pyramid of Egypt,

The twelve tribes of noses was;

Once upon a very infinite nose,

Frisian arch-nose, caratulera,

garrulous purple and fried Chilblain.
