Your Laughter
Pablo Neruda

Take breath away from me, if you wish,
take air away, but
do not take from me your laughter.

Do not take away the rose,
the lanceflower that you pluck,
the water that suddenly
bursts forth in your joy,
the sudden wave
of silver born in you.

My struggle is harsh and I come back
with eyes tired
at times from having seen
the unchanging earth,
but when your laughter enters
it rises to the sky seeking me
and it opens for me all
the doors of life.

My love, in the darkest
hour your laughter
opens, and if suddenly
you see my blood staining
the stones of the street,
laugh, because your laughter
will be for my hands
like a fresh sword.

Next to the sea in the autumn,
your laughter must raise
its foamy cascade,
and in the spring, love,
I want your laughter like
the flower I was waiting for,
the blue flower, the rose
of my echoing country.

Laugh at the night,
at the day, at the moon,
laugh at the twisted
streets of the island,
laugh at this clumsy
boy who loves you,
but when I open
my eyes and close them,
when my steps go,
when my steps return,
deny me bread, air,
light, spring,
but never your laughter
for I would die.

There's nothing wrong with having a little pink here and there in your work; in fact, in this piece it really compliments it. A beautiful pattern you've got going on here Lauren :D

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. How can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum? *runs off into distance giggling*

Dear Lauren,

I am not quite sure why I am so lucky as to be gifted in this way by you, but I am humbly grateful, and say thank you Lauren!! Yes, I do love pink, and sometimes, I even forget there are other colors in the spectrum! LOL! I love your fractal, and am so glad that the image put thoughts of me in your mind! It is always nice to know you were in someone's thoughts! I must admit Lauren, that I nearly became hypnotic glancing into the center of the image, the 'black hole', if you will! Laughing!! Teasing you dear!

Regarding your most beautiful prose, writing of laughter, and speaking sofly and wonderfully about it's importance in our lives: I believe that all the written word here, speaks to how I feel about laughter! As 'they' say, 'it makes the heart merry', but it does more. It speeds our hearts, and feeds our minds and our souls! I laugh each day, and without humor in my life, I would ultimately fade into non-existence. Each and everyday, laughter is a part of my being, used effectively each day to ease the pain life often presents to us. It helps to change our perspective on life, at every turn! Even when life is really sad, it is paramount that I laugh each and every day! So, my dear, I thank you once again for your lovely gift, from my heart! This gave me an opportunity to expound on a subject I hold dear, that of laughter, and which adds much 'real' color to my life and to those I share it with,

Love, Marilyn

I think I like this. It strikes me as rather unusual, but I find myself drawn to it. I can't quite explain.

There's an interesting mixture of light and dark, here - not just colouring, but mostly how it feels. That doesn't seem inappropriate to the subject, actually. Laughter is like that, too.

Excellent work.
