What do you think this poem is about?

Always

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!

    What a wonderful poet. If people knew how his simplicity accesses the profound, no one would ever want to believe or buy a greeting card again- much less live their lives like one.

    It's the way he uses his words to evoke emotion from me that gets me...

    These words are truly touching. This poem speaks to me, for so many reasons. I love Pablo Neruda. He was an amazing poet. One of the best. So romantic, Imagine what it is like to be loved by a man that can give these words.
