I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
in which there is no I or you
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand
so intimate that when you fall asleep it is my eyes that close ...
Pablo Neruda
Eulogy For A Love Song10:15 Feb 19 2009

Days are dreary nights are cold,
reach out for something left to hold,
stained glass windows pure and pale,
devoid of feeling as I exhale.
The silent line no longer hurts,
since daylight grayed a final verse,
to speak to tell to sing aloud,
beyond the memories never found.
A final breath before the plunge,
we open up our hearts and lungs,
while flowing ever gracefully,
beyond the desert to the sea.
I slowly sink beneath the waves,
take comfort in a watery grave,
and warming smiles that I have found,
lay broken here beneath the ground.
