Puisi 2: If You Forget Me Oleh Pablo Naruda

If each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine.

Puisi 3: Echo Oleh Carol Ann Duffy

I think I was searching for treasures or stones in the clearest of pools when your face…

when your face, like the moon in a well where I might wish…

might well wish for the iced fire of your kiss; only on water my lips, where your face…

where your face was reflected, lovely, not really there when I turned to look behind at the emptying air…

the emptying air.

Puisi 4: Sonnet 18 oleh William Shakespeare

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st, Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
