Absence by Pablo Neruda

I have scarcely left you
When you go in me, crystalline,
Or trembling,
Or uneasy, wounded by me
Or overwhelmed with love, as
when your eyes
Close upon the gift of life
That without cease I give you.

My love,
We have found each other
Thirsty and we have
Drunk up all the water and the
Blood,
We found each other
Hungry
And we bit each other
As fire bites,
Leaving wounds in us.

But wait for me,
Keep for me your sweetness.
I will give you too
A rose. 

word.

WHERE HAVE I BEEN? this cover is one of the best i've heard. snaps & claps.

"i'll take my chances before they pass ..."

speechless .

on "so you think you can dance" today , i was super disappointed all night . then, i see this dance number and it brought me to tears . thats never happened before, just by the way . i didnt know why it touched me so much until all the judges and audience were crying too . when i rewinded to the beginning , they said it was about the choreographer's friend who passed from breast cancer breast cancer . here it is : melissa and ade dancing to maxwell's "a woman's work"
