"I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps."
Pablo Neruda was a Chilean poet, diplomat, and politician who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971. He is known for works such as Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair and Canto General. His poetry ranges from intimate lyricism to political and historical epic forms.
