“I love your feet only because they walked upon the earth and upon the wind and upon the waters, until they found me.”
“I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.”
“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.”
“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.”
“You are like nobody since I love you.”
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
“I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers.”
“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
The moon lives in the lining of your skin.”
“Everything is so alive, that I can be alive. Without moving I can see it all. In your life I see everything that lives.”
“Your wide eyes are the only light I know from extinguished constellations.”
“At night I dream that you and I are two plants that grew together, roots entwined.”
“Like a jar you housed infinite tenderness, and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar.”
“I have slept with you all night long while the dark earth spins with the living and the dead, and on waking suddenly in the midst of the shadow my arm encircled your waist. Neither night nor sleep could separate us.”
“If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life.”
“I am because you are…you are, I am, we are, and through love I will be, you will be, we will be.”
“Take bread away from me, if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter.”
“I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.”
“I don’t know how others love or how people loved in the past. I live, watching you, loving you. Being in love is my nature.”
“Love has to be…flowering like the stars, and measureless as a kiss.”
“Of everything I have seen, it’s you I want to go on seeing: of everything I’ve touched, it’s your flesh I want to go on touching. I love your orange laughter. I am moved by the sight of you sleeping.”
