love poems
but I love your feet only because they walked upon the earth and upon the wind and upon the waters, until they found me
all the years of my life I walked around looking for them.
take bread away from me, if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter
when my steps go, when my steps return, deny me bread, air, light, spring, but never your laughter for I would die
we shall always be alone, we shall always be, you and I, alone upon the earth to begin life.
everything carries me to you
my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine
you are deep spring in me: in you I know again how I am born
the sun and the earth had destined you for my hands of stone, until grape by grape you had made the wine sing in my veins
I clutched you to my breast as if I were regaining earth and life
like a broken sword against invincible love
because we were sown together in the earth and we alone did not know it and that we grow together and flower together and therefore when we pass, your name is on the petals of the rose that grows on the stone.
the sea knows our love, the stones of the rocky height know that our kisses flowered with infinite purity.
the arrow that pierced winter, the invincible love, the fire of the days
let your existence cut across me, supposing that my heart is destroyed
how pure you are by sunlight or by fallen night
it is not now possible, at times, to win except by falling
