This is not the moon,
Nor is this the spring,
Of other springs,
And I alone
Am still the same.

Mood: Sad

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
Or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
In secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in
Itself the light of hidden flowers;
Thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
Risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
So close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
So close that when you close your eyes, I fall asleep.

Solomon Highland Gold Hyatt (15 April 1995 - 1 April 2008) to my friend, companion, and brother - you have all of my love.
