Always by Pablo Neruda
"Always," by Pablo Neruda is written in a mans point of view telling is current girlfriend that he doesn't care about her past with guys he just cares about the present and future together with her. He wrote "I'm not jealous of what came before me," meaning that he loves her and he knows she loves him so he isn't worried she'll go back with any of those guys she was with in her past. This poem includes imagery the line "come with a hundred men in your hair," this pharse creates the image of men actually being in the woman's hair nagging and bragging. This poem also uses a smilie "come like a river full of drowned men." This poem by Pablo Neruda really got my attention because men usually do care about a womans past, usually they use that as a guide to see what happens with her relationships in the past as a key for her future one. This poem was fanastic! I really like Pablo Neruda as a author.
I am not jealous
of what came before me.
Come with a man
on your shoulders,
come with a hundred men in your hair,
come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet,
come like a river
full of drowned men
which flows down to the wild sea,
to the eternal surf, to Time!
Bring them all
to where I am waiting for you;
we shall always be alone,
we shall always be you and I
alone on earth,
to start our life!
