love eye heart
Then love knew it was called love. And when I lifted my eyes to your name, suddenly your heart showed me my way
love romantic spring
I want to do to you what spring does with the cherry trees.
dream stars wall
Tie your heart at night to mine, love, and both will defeat the darkness like twin drums beating in the forest against the heavy wall of wet leaves. Night crossing: black coal of dream that cuts the thread of earthly orbs with the punctuality of a headlong train that pulls cold stone and shadow endlessly. Love, because of it, tie me to a purer movement, to the grip on life that beats in your breast, with the wings of a submerged swan, So that our dream might reply to the sky's questioning stars with one key, one door closed to shadow.
dream rain night
At night I dream that you and I are two plants that grew together, roots entwined, and that you know the earth and the rain like my mouth, since we are made of earth and rain.
sky tree earth
What did the earth teach the trees? How to speak to the sky.
struggle iron volcanoes
Give me silence, water, hope Give me struggle, iron, volcanoes.

I need the sea because it teaches me
love pain long
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.
kissing pajamas conspirators
Conspirators in pajamas who exchange deep kisses for passwords.

Take bread away from me, if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter.
love beauty moon
As if you were on fire from within. The moon lives in the lining of your skin.
grief miracle ruins
There were thirst and hunger, and you were the fruit. There were grief and the ruins, and you were the miracle.
grief space suffering
There is no space wider than that of grief ...
dream way
We must dream our way.
