Description Another reworking of one of my works.

I think this piece was inspired by Pablo narudas' poem
Sonnet XVII and also my fave artist Dave Mckean

I don’t love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
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 your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.

Hello! I hope that you do not mind this but--

This month is NaPoWriMo (National Poetry writing month.)

Today's prompt was to enter our favorite poets or poems into D.A. and search for images that came up, then write a poem inspired by the pic and the poet/poem.

I searched for Pablo Naruda and wrote this piece here: [link]

Thank you SO much for a beautiful piece of art which inspired me. And again, I hope you do not mind!
