Pablo Neruda

I asked my love

to be my bride

and live a life

of ease

hand in hand

and side by side

we'd each

do as we

please

I have a rock

in my backyard

that sits beneath

a tree

I climb its back

it's warm and hard

and I can feel

the breeze

wait till

the honeymoon's over

believe me

I believe you'll

never leave

me

I lost a part

of the afternoon

along a windowsill

I chased it down

in an old red cart

and I'm looking for it

still

we live our life

by the ocean walk

in the tall grass

by the sea

long amber light

your lips unlock

this is where

I want to be

wait till

the honeymoon's over

believe me

I believe you'll

never leave

me
