155.jpg

The sun shines so bright

My eyes are blinded by the light

The wind blows softly on my face

When I look at you,

I am showered with grace

 

 

I don’t love you as you were a topez

or carnations that propogate fine

I love you as certain dark things are loved

Secretly between the shadows and the soul

I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom

And comes inside the light of these flowers

I love you without knowing how or when or where from

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 the hand upon my chest

Is my hand, so intimate that when I fall

Asleep it is your eyes that close.

To whom I owe the leaping delight

That quickens my senses in my waking time

And the rythum that governs the repose of my sleeping time

The victim of breathing, of lovers where

Bodies smell of each other

Who thinks the same thoughts without the need

Of speech, without the need of meaning

No peevish winter wind shall chill

No sudden topic sun shall wither

The roses in the garden which could be ours

But the dedication is for others to read

These are my private thoughts and words

Addressed to you in public

T.s.Eliot
