topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain things are to be loved,<BR /><DIV>
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.</DIV>

I love you as the plant that never blooms,
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers.
Thanks to your love a certain fragrance,<BR /><DIV>
risen darkly from the earth, lives darkly in my body.</DIV>

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,<BR /><DIV>
So close that your eyes close and I fall asleep.</DIV>

-Pablo Neruda</FONT>
