Sonnet 69 by Pablo Neruda
Maybe nothingness is to be without your presence, without you moving, slicing the noon like a blue flower, without you walking later through the fog and the cobbles,without the light you carry in your hand, golden, which maybe others will not see, which maybe no one knew was growing like the red beginnings of a rose.In short, without your presence: without your comingsuddenly, incitingly, to know my life, gust of a rosebush, wheat of wind:since then I am because you are,since then you are, I am, we are, and through love I will be, you will be, we'll be.
Sonnet 89 by Pablo Neruda When I die, I wish your hands upon my eyes:I want the light and the wheat of your beloved handsto pass once more their cool touch over me:to sense the softness that changed my fate.I want you to live while I, asleep, await you.I want your ears to go on hearing the wind.I want you to smell the sea's aroma we loved so together,and to go on walking the sands we walked.I want what I love to go on living.And you, whom I loved and sung above all else,for all that, flourish again, my flower,to reach for everything my love demands of you,so that my shadow is passed through your hair,so that all can know the reason for my song.

- The sonnet is obviously between a man and a woman. I am assuming the speaker of the poem is the man due to the fact that the author is a man.
- Sonnet, no rhymes. "'Without" constantly used.
- Love of that person one can not live without.
- Commas used to separate similes and metaphors.
- sight is used as a sense, figurative
- modern language
- adoration with a tad of romance
- similes and metaphors
- no rhyming, two stanzas
