You are quite welcome. Neruda is my favorite poet because he is so earthy and sensual. He speaks straight to my soul through the flush of my skin; uber-aphrodisia.
Have you read his 100 Love Sonnets: Cien sonetos de amor? Personally, I think reading it to a beloved can garner amazing results...(does C like poetry?)
This one, if read with the right tone and proximity, can make all types of clothing simply melt away...
SONNET XVI
I love the handful of the earth you are. Because of its meadows, vast as a planet, I have no other star. You are my replica Of the multiplying universe.
Your wide eyes are the only light I know From extinguished constellations; Your skin throbs like the streak Of a meteor through rain.
Your hips were that much of the moon for me; Your deep mouth and its delights, that much sun; Your heart, fiery with its long red rays,
Was that much ardent light, like honey in the shade. So I pass across your burning form, kissing You - compact and planetary, my dove, my globe.

I love the handful of the earth you are.
Because of its meadows, vast as a planet,
I have no other star. You are my replica
Of the multiplying universe.
Your wide eyes are the only light I know
From extinguished constellations;
Your skin throbs like the streak
Of a meteor through rain.
Your hips were that much of the moon for me;
Your deep mouth and its delights, that much sun;
Your heart, fiery with its long red rays,
Was that much ardent light, like honey in the shade.
So I pass across your burning form, kissing
You - compact and planetary, my dove, my globe.
- Pablo Neruda
