The love we thought would never stop/
now cools like a congealing chop./
The kisses that were hot as curry/
are bird-pecks taken in a hurry./
The hands that held electric charges/
now lie inert as four moored barges./
The feet that ran to meet a date/
are running slow and running late./
The eyes that shone and seldom shut/
are victims of a power cut./
The parts that then transmitted joy/
are now reserved and cold and coy./
Romance, expected once to stay,/
has left a note saying gone away.

I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz/
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:/
I love you as certain dark things are loved,/
secretly, between the shadow and the soul./

I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries/
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,/
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body/
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth./

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 don't 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 it is your eyes that close

# data[].attributes.body
When I am with you, we stay up all night./
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep./
Praise God for these two insomnias!/
And the difference between them./
The minute I heard my first love story/
I started looking for you, not knowing/
how blind that was./
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere./
They're in each other all along./
We are the mirror as well as the face in it./
We are tasting the taste this minute/
of eternity. We are pain/
and what cures pain, both. We are/
the sweet cold water and the jar that pours./
I want to hold you close like a lute, so we can cry out with loving./
You would rather throw stones at a mirror?/
I am your mirror, and here are the stones.

# data[].attributes.body
We, unaccustomed to courage/
exiles from delight/
live coiled in shells of loneliness/
until love leaves its high holy temple/
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives/
and in its train come ecstasies/
old memories of pleasure/
ancient histories of pain./
Yet if we are bold,/
love strikes away the chains of fear/
from our souls./

We are weaned from our timidity/
In the flush of love's light/
we dare be brave/
And suddenly we see/
that love costs all we are/
and will ever be./
Yet it is only love/
which sets us free.

I love you for what you are, but I love you yet more for what you are going to be. I love you not so much for your realities as for your ideals. /                    I pray for your desires that they may be great, rather than for your satisfactions, which may be so hazardously little./         A satisfied flower is one whose petals are about to fall. The most beautiful rose is one hardly more than a bud wherein the pangs and ecstasies of desire are working for a larger and finer growth./                                   Not always shall you be what you are now. You are going forward toward something great. I am on the way with you and therefore I love you.

Man and woman are like the earth, that brings forth flowers/
in summer, and love, but underneath is rock./
Older than flowers, older than ferns, older than foraminiferae,/
older than plasm altogether is the soul underneath./
And when, throughout all the wild chaos of love/
slowly a gem forms, in the ancient, once-more-molten rocks/
of two human hearts, two ancient rocks,/
a man's heart and a woman's,/
that is the crystal of peace, the slow hard jewel of trust,/
the sapphire of fidelity./
The gem of mutual peace emerging from the wild chaos of love.

# data[].attributes.body
What greater thing is there for two human souls/
than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen/
each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow,/
to share with each other in all gladness,/
to be one with each other in the
silent unspoken memories?
