More beautiful words from Pablo Neruda:



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.

I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.

I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,

and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.

Pablo Neruda

2009

What a wonderful new year! I had a wonderful Christmas Break and an awesome start to the Spring '09 semester. My parents gave me a camera for Christmas! I have been taking pictures of EVERYTHING







This is a picture of my boyfriend, Frank, at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.






Unbelievable house we found in Mountain Brook!






The Bamboo Garden.



These are just a few of the hundreds of pictures I have taken! I am so excited to be able to document my experiences of 2009!
