Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamonds glint on snow; I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn rain.

I carry your heart with me. (I carry it in
my heart). I am never without it. (Anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling.)
I fear
no fate. (For you are my fate, my sweet). I want
no world. (For beautiful you are my world, my true).
And it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you. <3

Podran cortar todas las flores pero, no podran detener la Primavera¨-Pablo Neruda
"They can cut down all the flowers, but they cannot stop the coming of spring"
Put it in the context of the vicious dictatorship that he was living under in Chile.

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools

Funeral Blues by WH Auden.
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

"But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing"
Poem Title: I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
I love this poem, It's quite beautiful, yet very dark. This is my favorite stanza.

"The beneficent lights dim
but don't vanish.
The razory edges
dull, but still cut.
He's gone:
but you can see
his tracks still, in the snow of the world."

"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...." Sonnet XVII, Pablo Neruda
