The Queen

Got this off SA's blog.:D Hope you don't mind, I'm a sucker for these poems too!XD

The Queen
Pablo Neruda

I have named you queen.
There are taller than you, taller.
There are purer than you, purer.
There are lovelier than you, lovelier.
But you are the queen.

When you go through the streets
No one recognizes you.
No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks
At the carpet of red gold
That you tread as you pass,
The nonexistent carpet.

And when you appear
All the rivers sound
In my body, bells
Shake the sky,
And a hymn fills the world.

Only you and I,
Only you and I, my love,
Listen to me.

Waaaaaaaaaaaah. Would that I could write poetry like that.XP But alas, all my pseudo-quasi artistic chuvaness has flown out the window to be replaced by my semi-pseudo-pwede na skills in disgustingly concrete and numerical things. Bleah. I haven't drawn, colored, written, et cetera et cetera properly since the dawn of time, por dios. I don't want my artistic side to stagnate!XP My right brain is more me than my left brain will ever be.XP (Refresh my memory, why am I in ME again??XP)
